''Dragon Quest X'' is the first game inside the numbered titles that breaks the ''Dragon Quest'' tradition of turn-based combat; the combat becomes more action-based by breaking the order of the attacks. | ''Dragon Quest X'' is the first game inside the numbered titles that breaks the ''Dragon Quest'' tradition of turn-based combat; the combat becomes more action-based by breaking the order of the attacks. | ||
The game includes a quest system like in {{Dragon Quest IX}}, but with some changes. Quests serve as side-stories helping non-player characters around the game's world. Multiple quests can be performed simultaneously with some even interlocking and unlocking various stages in fellow quests. Early quests include gathering magical spring water, slaying monsters and stealing for a fellow thief. Like the previous ''Dragon Quest'' installment, ''Dragon Quest X'' contains many open ended mini-quests. Upon completion of the quests, a "Quest List log," serving as an in-game achievement list. There are also brand new "Job quests" that can only be received when you have the job that is requested. | The game includes a quest system like in ''{{Dragon Quest IX}}'', but with some changes.

This game also includes two new features as a reference to other RPG games: the ''[[Fire Colosseum]]'' and the ''[[Magic Labyrinth]]''. The Fire Colosseum allows the player challenge again some storyline bosses that are modified to be stronger and the Magic Labyrinth acts like the {{Grotto}} of {{Dragon Quest IX}}. Although the first one is located at the top of a snowy mountain, several labyrinths can be encountered during the gameplay, and in the most strange possible places, like a mirror in the Royal Palace of [[Gran Zedoura]] in [[Rendaashia]]. | This game also includes two new features as a reference to other RPG games: the ''[[Fire Colosseum]]'' and the ''[[Magic Labyrinth]]''.
