After selecting a character in the remake, the player or the tavern can change the person's starting abilities with five magical seeds, given by the tavern. This team can be made up of Wizards, Pilgrims, Thieves, Goof-offs, Fighters, Soldiers, and Merchants in either male or female form. When the quest begins, the player can build a team of diversified heroes through Ruida's Tavern in Aliahan almost immediately. In the game, the player starts out as a single hero, male or female. The Game Boy Color version is based on the Super Nintendo version, which is currently being fan translated. It was intended to have even more features, including a small medal system, but these additional features were cut from the original release to save space.īoth remake versions of Dragon Quest III offer many new features, including a mini game called Pachisi (called Suguroku in Japan) from which the player can win items, monster and attack animations in battles, a new Thief class, two challenging bonus dungeons, a monster medal collection, new items, the mini medal system seen in later Dragon Quest games, individual personality types for the members of your party which determine which stats increase when they level up, a pre-game sequence in which your Hero's personality is determined based on your answers to moral dilemmas similar to that in Ultima IV, and many other small changes.

Dragon Quest III features a much larger world than its predecessors, as well as a much larger array of items, equipment, magic, and enemies. Another innovation is an arena where the player can place bets on the outcome of monster battles. Furthermore, upon reaching level 20, a character may change classes at Alltrades Abbey. The choice of class greatly affects the character's stats and spells he or she can learn. While the hero always keeps the Hero class, the other characters can choose among the following: Soldier/Warrior, Fighter, Pilgrim/Cleric, Wizard/Mage, Merchant/Dealer, Goof-off/Jester, and Thief. Dragon Quest III adds a class system, in which each character has a certain class. Gameplayĭragon Quest III is noted for greatly expanding upon the original Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II.
