Despite his status as an optional character, Amos is fully compatible with [[party chat]] in the remakes of ''Dragon Quest VI''. This greatly expands upon his personality, revealing a chipper, candid folk hero who makes up for his lack of sophistication with a strong desire to help and protect others. Though by no means dull, Amos has a simplistic view on life and naturally sees the brighter side of situations and people. Being the oldest human member of the party, he sometimes displays surprising wisdom that rivals that of [[Nevan]] and [[Milly]]. Amos will reveal after speaking with the queen of [[Howcastle]] that he was regarded as a coward in his early days, which drove him to grow stronger. He has a bit of a fascination with royalty, and is always excited to meet the king and/or queen of any realms that the party visits. He is also very fond of his mother, and will frequently mention her when talking about his past life.

Starting with the localization of the DS remake, Amos has a speech quirk where he will sometimes refer to himself in the third person. <!--I assume this is not the case in the original Japanese versions. Feel free to remove this if I am wrong.-->

{{spoiler|start}}When the party arrives in [[Scrimsley]], the townspeople make it clear that the party should leave town. After talking to some of the yokels, the party learns about Amos, who is the town's local hero. If the party stays at the inn, they will wake at night finding a monster attacking the town. When defeated, the monster is revealed to be Amos. In the morning, the party can go to Amos and if they tell him that he is periodically transforming into a monster, he will leave so that he will no longer threaten the lives of his fellow townspeople. However, if the party does not tell Amos about his condition and instead acquires the [[List_of_items_in_Dragon_Quest_VI#Incredible_Items|seeds of reason]] from [[Hazy Heights]] and makes him eat them, he will involuntarily transform. Before the party can engage his beastly form in battle once more, Amos will reveal that he can shapeshift at will and returns to his human self. He will then join the party, heading out of town to hop into the [[wagon]].

*In the Super Famicom version, Amos had a 25% resistance to [[Woosh]] and wind skills.

*In the Super Famicom version, Amos shared his sprite with the generic warrior NPCs. The sprites of these armed townsfolk were changed, allowing Amos to keep his design and make it his own.
