Dragon Quest IV featured a hot air balloon, which enabled the party to travel over mountains. These include ships, which give the party the option of traveling on water. These vehicles allow the party to cross terrain that cannot be walked over. Since then, every game, including the remakes for the Nintendo DS, has included some level of 3D gameplay.ĭragon Quest games often feature different forms of vehicles for the party to explore the world map in. Starting with Dragon Quest VII, 3D graphics were introduced, however the graphics were extremely limited compared to those released in Dragon Quest VIII. Earlier Dragon Quest games were released using solely 2D graphics. Dragon Quest VIII changed this system by featuring fully three dimensional environments and battles in the third-person. Until Dragon Quest VIII, exploration was all from an overhead view, while battles were in a first-person perspective. The effect can cause enemies and characters to lose their turn.

In Dragon Quest, players had to go through a menu in order to use stairs, open treasure chests, and speak to NPCs. Heroes in the series often must defeat a main antagonist to complete the adventure, and there are always several tasks they must do before that, often involving NPCs from different towns. NPCs are responsible for giving the player useful information, selling items, saving the player's game, or healing the party, usually at an inn for a fee. Non-playable characters exist in the game for the party to interact with. Typically, the party must enter a town or dungeon and defeat a specific enemy or retrieve an item to progress the story. Players must move their parties through different towns, dungeons, and the world map in order to progress throughout each game. Dragon Quest III further increased the party size to four characters, which it has stayed at. Dragon Quest featured only one-on-one encounters, whereas Dragon Quest II expanded the party to three characters and the number of enemies was also increased.
