*The Hero's father thinks that the Hero and [[Ashlynn]] are a couple in the ending credits. This has led many fans to speculate that the two are indeed a couple. Additionally, at the end of the [[Dragon_Quest_VI:_Realms_of_Revelation#Related_media|manga adaptation]], Ashlynn did not disappear and got married to the Hero.

*The Hero underwent a drastic redesign in the early planning stages of ''Dragon Quest VI'', shifting from a moody-looking warrior with red hair to the enthusiastic, blue-haired young man players are familiar with. This discarded design would be tweaked and become the basis for [[Terry]].
