Have you ever noticed that logos and Rakeesh refer to you as the hero of Shapeir, Tarna, and Mordavia? But they leave out a city? Granted Rakeesh didn't know you when you were in Spielburg, but Logos says he learned about you not just from Rakeesh, but from Erasmus as well. Do they do this because they were afraid of offending Minos, who considers Elsa to be the hero of Spielburg?

Well, I'm going to be very naughty and mention "that which should not be named", the fan produced Quest for Glory 4 1/2 "So You Thought You Were A Hero", which established you weren't quite the hero of Spielburg that you thought you were at the time :)
Probably because by the time of the fifth game, your work in Spielburg was relatively uneventful compared to your events from the second game onwards.

Elsa remembers you, of course, as does one other character, but compared to the global scheme... the only thing you did was displace an ogress and save a princess. After that, you've consistently been saving entire countries (and then the entire world) from oblivion, so yeah.

Also it might be allowing for a canon unwelding - keeping it vague whether you drove Baba Yaga out or not (even though QFG4 established that you did even if you didn't, out of plot necessity) and thus whether you were truly deserving of the title of Hero of Spielburg or not.

Let me put it this way by relating it to art.

When you're listing your accomplishments as an oil painter, do you include the macaroni art you made in 2nd grade as an accomplishment? :P
Kokeeno refers to Elsa as the "Hero of Spielburg" too. I would venture a guess that either she did more to save Spielburg than you did, or she is at least perceived as having done so.

It's odd considering you quite literally claim the title "Hero of Spielburg." None of the other games make that distinction, the title is only implied.

And then you leave for Shapeir, whereas Elsa stays to drive the brigands away. The people would therefore have more reason to consider Elsa the "Hero of Spielburg" than you, even if Stefan doesn't.

At the end of qfg1 during the credits it states "the brigand band has been dispersed their treasure has been reimbursed." I would argue that our hero had defeated the brigands, thus wholly earning the title "hero of Spielburg," as well as fulfilling the prophecy.
Elsa couldn't have done anything if you hadn't rescued her. Everything she did all started with you helping her. Even if it was her who drove the brigands out of Spielburg, it was you who made it possible for her to do all of that.

Just for the record, you are supposed to have helped a prince as well as a princess. I know it's possible to beat the game without helping the prince, but QFG5 assumes you helped the prince. Elsa left Spielburg because her arrogant, dumb brother is in charge at that point. I assume that means you helped him.

But maybe I'm wrong? Maybe QFG5 is meant to leave open the possibility that you didn't help Barnard, but he became king anyway? So Spielburg is now being run by a bear, and that's why Elsa left? I hadn't considered that before, but I love it!

You never saved a Prince or Princess in Spielburg, given the area is a Barony. You rescue a Baron's son and daughter.

I mean, you're not wrong, but everyone knew who was being talked about to begin with, so semantics was uncalled for.

Is it really semantics in a series where you DO rescue a princess though? Remember, Zayishah becomes the Sultan of Raseir's adoptive daughter and therefore a princess.

Yes, it is really semantics.

No, but it IS a lot of childish crying over being corrected.
