How is Dragon Warrior 3 different from the games before it?
Dragon Warrior 3 was originally released in the US in 1988. In Dragon Warrior 3 there are 1-4 party members. One is the hero and the other 3 you can make. Their classes are one of the following: fighter (martial artist), soldier, pilgrim (priest), merchant (dealer), wizard, goof-off, or thief. Later in the game one of your buddies can become a sage (warrior/wizard/pilgrim). The world of Dragon Warrior 3 is huge. You walk by foot, sail, and fly for transportation.
