Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

Reeve is the first town The Hero and his/her allies can travel to, and it is advised to spend time around the area to strengthen the party up for the journey ahead.

Reeve is a tutorial town, with nearly all of the citizens giving gameplay tips in the form of casual dialogue; a swordsman assures the player that interesting areas with have something in them more often than not, a man struggling to push a boulder that the Hero can shove easily tips players off that objects can be interacted with, etc. A young child asks the player to kill many monsters to avenge his late parents, reminding the player that there is danger in the world for the common folk.

Players will also notice locked doors in the town, requiring the thief's key. The one-of-a-kind wrecking ball is gained from the old inventor, which is needed to proceed further in the Path of Promise. His wife is annoyed with his tinkering, but lightens up after hearing that his invention literally paved the way for the Hero.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

Reeve is now depicted as being next to a canyon with a bridge spanning across it, with the village itself having multiple points of elevation. The old tinkerer who hands over the wrecking ball will produce a second when spoken to later in the game, a necessity to extract the zenithium ingot from the Gaia's Navel dungeon.
