Line 53:

:*{{Resilience}} now determines base defence power instead of HP growth

:*{{Stamina}} has been added to determine HP growth, using the same formula as Resilience in previous versions

:*{{Wisdom}} now determines the growth of spell power instead of each spell being fixed to a static range, in addition to MP growth

:*{{Wisdom}} now determines the growth of spell power instead of each spell being fixed to a static range, in addition to MP growth and spell learning

* Certain out-of-combat facets have been modified in a similar manner:

:* You can now save your game at [[church]]es

:* Upon being defeated, you now have the menu option to revert to your previous autosave (without [[experience points]] earned since then), if you don't wish to return to your last save point and lose half your [[gold]]

:* [[Zoom]] now functions as it does in ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'', being usable indoors, and now lets you travel to many more places on the map

* Upon being defeated, you can now choose to redo the fight you lost without penalty.

* New spells, such as [[Moreheal]], [[Zapple]], and [[Zin]].

* The inclusion of skills for melee vocations, such as [[Double-Edged Slash]], [[Mercurial Thrust]], [[Pressure Pointer]], and [[Cop Out]] <ref>Weekly Shonen Jump issue 32, 2024</ref>. The battle menu lists lists Spells and Abilities separately.

*{{Boomerangs}}s and [[Whip Weapon Family|whips]] can now land [[Critical Hit]]s, though less frequently than single-target weapons.

* The inclusion of additional monsters, such as [[Dying fire|a new variant]] of the [[Dancing flame]] monster line, and the [[Garboyle]], who originally was an unfightable monster in the game's SNES and Game Boy Color intro.

* Additional boss monsters for certain areas of the game.

* Battle tactics, available for the first time in ''Dragon Quest III''.

* Three modes of difficulty: Dracky Quest (Easy), Dragon Quest (Normal), and Draconian Quest (Hard).

* Monsters either have skills and/or spells added to their repertoire. (For example, [[Seaslime]]s use [[Soothing Song]] and [[Handsome crab]]s use [[Assassin's Stab]], while [[Cumaulus]]es cast [[Dazzle]] in addition to [[Frizz]])

* Monster damage resistances now function as they do in modern Dragon Quest games, reducing damage by the listed percentage instead of providing a chance to negate.

:*Since elemental attacks are no longer negated, damage resistances are now indicated by the color of the damage number

:*On a similar note, the [[Bang]] line of spells now goes against a separate resistance from the [[Frizz]] and [[Sizz]] lines
