Pros & Considerations

Party creation

Building and later reclassing a custom team established one of Dragon Quest's most durable progression systems.

Battles

Turn order, party composition and ability choices reward planning over reflexes

Progression

Character growth and equipment choices create persistent build decisions across the campaign

Consider

Age: Older versions provide little guidance and rely on frequent random encounters for much of the journey.
