Dragon Quest VI is the last Super Famicom/SNES game of the Dragon Quest series. It is a party RPG with turn-based combat and battles viewed from first person perspective. Gameplay style, setting, and even menu layout are very similar to those of the previous games in the series. The game utilizes an enhanced "class system" from the third game. Characters can choose different classes to belong to, and switch between them. The more a character fights while belonging to a certain class, the more proficient he/she becomes in it. Once two or three starting classes have been mastered, the character gains access to powerful hybrid classes, which grant the characters new abilities and various upgrades.

Alternate Titles

  • "ドラゴンクエストVI:幻の大地" -- Japanese spelling
  • "勇者斗恶龙VI" -- Chinese spelling (simplified)
  • "DQVI" -- Common abbreviation

Trivia

One of the reasons for the extreme popularity of Dragon Quest series, particularly during its early beginnings in Japan was the high quality manga-like illustration work done in the game by Akira Toriyama, one of the most popular manga artists of all time. Toriyama is most widely known for his martial-arts epic, Dragon Ball but has also worked on games like Chrono Trigger and Tobal.
