Do I need to play DQ4 before DQ5?

Do I need to play DQ4 before DQ5? - Ethnic kids and adults walking on dirty road

I own both Dragon Quest IV and Dragon Quest V, but I am more interested in playing DQ5. I know the two are in some kind of trilogy, but I’m not sure if they are directly related or only have loose tie-ins (like DQ1 and DQ2). Will I miss out on any story details by playing DQ5 first?

I’m looking for a list of whatever I might miss, but WITHOUT SPOILERS.
