Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation (originally named Dragon Warrior III in its initial North American release on the NES) rounds out the original Dragon Quest trilogy by casting the player as the child of the hero Ortega, who... didn't quite finish his grand journey to slay the evil Baramos. So, now that you're sixteen, everyone expects you to pick up where your dad left off and get to slaying the villain! Thankfully, you're not expected to do this alone: The local tavern serves as an excellent adventurers' hub, where you can recruit a number of loyal party members, ranging from Warriors to Mages and even Gadabouts.Dragon Quest III is something of a landmark title in the Eastern RPG genre. It was the first game to feature a Job System, allowing you to pick and choose your party composition and alter it throughout the game instead of enforcing static roles. You can also set everyone's gender, meaning that if you wanted to compose a team of amazons, nothing was stopping you, and female characters even got to enjoy a few benefits denied to their male counterparts. This level of customization was novel enough to make the game a major hit in Japan, which in turn would lead to other RPGs building upon Dragon Quest III's style and including job systems of their own.The game has had a substantial release history. First released for the Famicom in 1988, it was ported to the North American NES in early 1992 (read: after the SNES), which is part of the reason why it wasn't as influential in the west. It received a substantial remake in '96 for the Super Famicom which never got exported. It was then ported to the Game Boy Color in late 2000, with the Anglo world getting a release some months later. Finally, the Super Famicom version got ported to Japanese feature phones in 2009, which wasn't released elsewhere due to differences in phone capacity at the time; however, this version was ported again to iOS and Android smartphones in 2014, and the Nintendo Switch in 2019, with an English option to boot, to much acclaim. On May 26, 2021, to celebrate the franchise's 35th Anniversary, it was announced that this game would get a remake that's part of the "HD-2D" series (the same series consisting of Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy, and Live A Live), with a planned worldwide release on home consoles. | |

Also, your party members, although there's one clear aversion: after returning from Gaia's Navel, the party member in the second position will have a comment/question about your experience, dependent on their class/gender. If you sent a party member to the dungeon and put the Hero in the second position, he/she will have Visible Silence instead. | |

| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_12f70f7b | comment |
Regional Bonus: The opening cinematic, a proper title screen, and a proper Ortega sprite. The original version of the last more than likely confused a lot of players, because it was a Palette Swap of Robbin' 'Ood, though it also caused many a fan theory. | |

Heroic Mime: Once again, our hero doesn't speak anything.

Purely Aesthetic Gender | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_164583e3 | comment |
Purely Aesthetic Gender: Again, aside from a few exclusive weapons / armor / personalities and such, gender is a matter of preference. In the original NES translation, the script repeatedly referred to the hero as Ortega's son, male or female. This was referenced in the GBC version at the start, when the king starts to call your heroine son, corrects himself and adds, "But that dauntless look—no man could hope to match you!" | |

Similarly, (non-Dragon Quest spoilers) a big reveal of a bigger boss to what you were previously fighting? Yup, another one with a lot of variants, but everyone from Zemus (and Exdeath, and Ultimecia) to Blue as Champion to Mithos Yggdrasil to even Rei Ryghts all call back to the reveal of Zoma. | |

Locked Out of the Fight: The Hero is the only allowed to enter the Gaia's Navel (although technically, anyone can enter the dungeon: it's dependent on who's in the first position in the lineup). Erdrick and his comrades are blocked from interfering with Ortega and King Hydra's fight in the final dungeon. | |

Voluntary Shapeshifting: The Mirror of Ra lets you randomly change to different forms. Including monsters. NPC's react accordingly to this.

Cardboard Prison: At one point, a king has the party thrown in jail... along with all of their weapons, items, teleportation spells, and a key that can unlock any door. Though this is averted in a sense, since the guard who threw you in there hints that he is aware of the king's treachery, and is actually trying to help you. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: In the remakes, the hero has the ability to "memorize" NPC speeches and dialogues, which the player can play back again by using the hero's Recall spell. As the hero levels up, it gets upgraded versions of this spell, Remember and Recollect. If you use these upgraded spells without having memorized too many pieces of dialogue throughout the game up until that point, the hero will be able to remember a conversation they overheard between their parents when they were just a small child. The swimsuits will give female characters a new sprite; there's a unique swimsuit for every class. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: With a variety of character classes that can lead to dozens, if not hundreds, of party compositions most players (especially beginners) will typically go with the combination of a Warrior, a Priest, and a Mage and stick with them, likely switching one to a Sage when they find a Words of Wisdom. This is such a common team that it became a Mythology Gag in future entries in the series such as Dragon Quest XI. | |

Artifact of Doom | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_3b5fcbb7 | comment |
Artifact of Doom: The Golden Claws. Far worse in the original game, where it causes an enemy fight almost every step of the game by increasing the number of random encounters. In subsequent versions of the game, this only happens while you are in the pyramid; exiting the pyramid breaks the curse. Also in the original, this was the only additional claw the martial artist could use other than the standard. Anything that curses you when equipped. Unlike most Dragon Quest games, they don't have any uses as items either. Bonus points, however, go to the Sword of Ruin, a cursed weapon that is second only to the Sword of Kings in terms of sheer damage, and has a much higher critical hit rate than comparable weapons, but carries the downside of preventing you from attacking about every 1 in 3 rounds. In the original NES version, this weapon is actually sold in a weapon shop in Rimuldar(!), despite the curse. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
You have to let the Recurring Boss Robbin' 'Ood go (twice) after beating him, because you can't actually decline his plead for mercy with "No". Can't kill him off when he's still got problems to cause, right? | |

Magikarp Power | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6 | comment |
Magikarp Power: The Gadabout class seems useless at first, but they can eventually change straight to the powerful sage class without using a rare item, unlike everyone else. Plus, in the later versions, they learn Whistle, which summons monsters—potentially shaving hours off your Level Grinding. They also have an absurdly high Luck stat, which has a few helpful effects, including helping them save against magic attacks. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: To determine your hero's personality in the remakes, a mysterious voice asks a series of questions, then throws you into one of these based on your answers. Your reaction to whatever issue you face determines your personality. Said tests range from dealing with a greedy queen leading her country to war based on lies, to exploring a cavern, to deciding whether or not to take a leap of faith off a tower. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The hero defeats Zoma, saving the world, but the portal to their home realm is sealed off in the process and Zoma declares a prophecy that long after the hero is dead, evil will rise once more. The king bestows upon the hero the title of Erdrick—or Loto in Japanese and certain English translations—the highest honor of the land. The hero spends the rest of their days in this new world, giving their gear to various families for protection, and eventually having a child (or children), thus starting the bloodline of descendants who become the heroes of Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II. | |

Trope Codifier | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_44bd31e2 | comment |
Trope Codifier: Not so much in the rest of the world, but in Japan? Good. God. We mean it when we say that Dragon Quest III is the game that codified every major trope and element of JRPGs, and that every single JRPG that followed, in every single series or franchise, owes something to it, either through direct imitation, indirect inspiration or attempting to "answer" a "fault" of the game. For a few examples of the big ones: The somewhat put-upon voiceless protagonist? Yup, they're all patterned after the Child of Ortega and what the Child goes through in this game. Your choice of party members and party customization? Obviously there's been a lot of variance from Dragon Quest III on this one, but everyone really is trying be as good or better than what was on offer here. The revealing swimsuit that actively changes the graphics so you can see your female party members wearing it? That originated here, and has been both referenced and parodied to the moon and beyond. A late-plot reveal of a whole second world to explore and the game being bigger than originally supposed or advertised? Oh yup. This is one of the biggest — everyone who does this in their games is trying to capture the same lightning-in-a-bottle that resulted from Dragon Quest III's Alefgard reveal. Similarly, (non-Dragon Quest spoilers) a big reveal of a bigger boss to what you were previously fighting? Yup, another one with a lot of variants, but everyone from Zemus (and Exdeath, and Ultimecia) to Blue as Champion to Mithos Yggdrasil to even Rei Ryghts all call back to the reveal of Zoma. | |

Ancestral Weapon | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_454bda24 | comment |
Ancestral Weapon: Inverted. Your weapon becomes the ancestral sword of the first two games. And averted for a while. There actually was an ancestral weapon, but Zoma stole and destroyed it! Yours is a fresh copy made from the same stuff, and arguably better, because it's loaded with Good Hurts Evil fresh off the anvil. There's also Mountaincleaver (or Sword of Gaia), which you spend most of the game trying to track down and recover from a man named Simão, who's had it in his family for some time. However, the weapon itself is terrible for when you finally get it, outclassed by other weapons, and really more of a key than a weapon, as you throw it into a volcano to get access to the second to last dungeon and sixth orb. | |

Trespassing Hero | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_4b5e821a | comment |
Trespassing Hero: The castle at Edina requires your party to trespass in order to gain a crucial item. The guards won't let you in; you'll need to use either the Invisibility Herb or Invisibility spell to get past the guards. For some reason, none of the castle's inhabitants seem to object to your presence inside. It implies that the guard out front is just a Jerkass. | |

A water spirit then appears and offers you a really powerful weapon, which if you accept, you don't get, because it isn't yours. However if you say it isn't yours and then say that the original weapon you dropped is yours… You get your original weapon back, and that's it. | |

Gotta Catch Them All | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_527fc5fe | comment |
Gotta Catch Them All: In the GBC Video Game Remake, every monster randomly drops a medal; first Bronze, then Silver, then Gold. Getting enough of them gives you access to the second Bonus Dungeon. Getting all of them makes the Grand Dragon superboss fall asleep. Wait, what? The latter had an explanation, although it took a significant amount of work to discover it. They had intended to do a similar Dragon Quest IV remake with the same Monster Coin system. These coins are even hidden in Dragon Quest III's data files. You would have, in theory, been able to transfer your coins to the other game in order to complete the full set—which they replaced at the last second with Grandragon falling asleep, when they decided to port 4 to the PSX instead. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_57d43e40 | comment |
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The world map is loosely based on that of the real world, with many cities corresponding to actual nations. In addition to Japan analogue Jipang, there's Isis (a desert kingdom, complete with pyramid, pretty clearly based on ancient Egypt), Romaria (Rome), Skyfell Tower located in the area corresponding to France which was originally called the Tower of Champagne in the NES version, Portoga (a seafaring trading kingdom based on medieval Portugal), Asham (Baghdad), Baharata (ancient India), the northern island of "Greenlad", Edina (named after Edinburgh but based on England), the town of Samano (Sao Paolo in South America) and the village of Persistence (nomads based on various native American tribes)/Soo (Sioux) in the NES version. The continent that the hero grows up on is the only entirely fictional landmass in the game world; it looks sort of like Antarctica if it was shrunk a bit and moved between Australia and South America. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: It was possible in the original NES version to get a modest pile of money at the beginning of the game by registering warrior class characters, taking their expensive weapons / armor, selling it, then returning the character to the eatery and deleting their registration. This would let you easily amass enough gold to buy the best equipment at the first two towns for all your characters, which made the beginning of the game a bit easiernote A bug on the NES port also gave the Hero their first page of spells if you filled up the character pool at the tavern, which, while it doesn't make the Hero overpowered, does provide an advantage for several levels. Re-releases fixed this by having every registered character join the party with no equipment, but the King 'gives' you four full sets of equipment… | |

The Reveal | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: One of the most epic reveals in the history of videogaming, and the one that cemented the game's place in the zeitgeist (especially in Japan): In the last quarter of the game, the world you travel to is the one with the kingdom of Alefgard on it. The player character is none other than Erdrick, and you play out the events that precede the rest of the trilogy. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Both subtitles carry the same meaning for the game, even though the Westernized one might be misleading at first.note Even decades since then, such subtitles usually have a more literalistic meaning, I.E. having "seeds" in the title would suggest some kind of actual seed-based MacGuffin where there are none. "Thus, into Legend" and "Seeds of Salvation"; the Legend of Erdrick/Loto is born, and the seeds are planted for a certain solitary knight to emerge and slay a certain almighty dragon in the distant future. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The map that comes with the game had a chart which shows when a character will learn a spell. However, this is only the earliest opportunity for them to learn the spell. When a character learns a spell is based on their intelligence, and not their level; unfortunately the manual neglects to mention this! | |

| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_6f33059b | comment |
Iconic Outfit: All of the classes, but particularly the hero's. If they aren't exact in games, they'll at least resemble them. They're mentioned in Dragon Quest IX, as equipment used by an ancient [class] of old. (Which kind of stings if you played III when it first came out.). Played with as Rule of Funny in Dragon Quest VII onward, as the Pip and Conk families of monsters are tiny critters who dress like the default set of heroes in III, but are so tiny that they use leaves and hollowed nuts as armor, and use rocks and sticks as weapons. | |

Crutch Character | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_7deb3fb1 | comment |
Crutch Character: In a way, merchants. While they don't get much passive power at character creation, their equipment selection is excellent early on, including several exclusive items that are more powerful than comparable items available for everyone else at the time. And, most importantly… Their EXP track is the fastest in the game. By far. Even faster than warriors. It's very common for merchants to be two full levels ahead of everyone, very quickly, and for a while the extra stats from this keep them competitive. They begin to run into high-end equipment issues beginning in Isis, though, and by then an extra few levels isn't quite so much of a swing. Once you get to Baramos, even in the later versions, a Merchant will be struggling to keep up. | |

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_812ee32b | comment |
Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Early on, warriors can deal heavy damage to enemies while mages are hard pressed to beat Slimes without burning into their relatively small mana pool. Later on, though, wizards get multi-target spells and single target one-shots, while warriors are stuck mashing A. This is especially poignant because of a distinct lack of bosses in the game. There are certainly boss fights, but not nearly as many as you'd expect in an RPG, meaning that the warrior classes, which can normally outdamage mages against singular targets, don't get many opportunities to show this off. | |

That's because in the old days, pepper was a type of spice and could only be found in the Far East. For people whose only mean of seasoning was salt, pepper because a valuable commodity. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The Sword of Kings, in both gameplay and story. The original note Made in DragonQuestXI was actually stolen and destroyed by Zoma, but it took him three years to do it. Even if he slept, that's a lot of effort for one of the series' strongest villains, especially when the sword wasn't even new like the copy you eventually get. This may also explain why the sword is so much weaker in Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II. Any villains left hiding away, and possibly the Dragonlord himself, have been trying to break it, but could only weaken it. They eventually gave up and just buried it in some obscure spot in Dragonlord's castle. The same would apply to the armor and gear you hand down to your descendants, but since those were never damaged, one could guess they're just old. | |

Cool Sword | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_a6275bef | comment |
Cool Sword: The Erdrick's Sword◊, also known as the Sword of Light or Sword of Kings: an ancient one-handed broadsword with a curved hilt resembling a Phoenix bird. It is forged from Orichalcum, shoots lightning bolts and can only be wielded by the lineage of the legendary hero. It has cut down lords of chaos, dragons, demon lords and gods of destruction. | |

| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_a7bb930 | comment |
Prestige Class: The sage class. Only accessible by changing to that class at Alltrades Abbey (and only then by using a special one-use scroll, or invoking the gadabout's Magikarp Power), they learn all the mage and priest spells. And have a better selection of weapons and armor than the other spell-caster classes (though their stat growth is a little anemic). | |

Orcus on His Throne: Baramos doesn't seem to actually do much besides wait in his castle for you to show up and kick his ass. Zoma is just sitting in his castle after his introduction, but this is justified in that he has essentially already won dominion over Alefgard, and does not consider the Hero a big enough threat to go out and eliminate, even when the party arrives right at his throne. Only once the Sphere of Light is used to break Zoma's Cloth of Darkness, does he understand the danger the Party presents. | |

With This Herring: It's your Dangerous 16th Birthday and you're off to face the greatest threat to the world the kingdom has ever known. The king is so impressed with your decision to take up arms that he rewards you with a whopping 300 gold pieces, which wouldn't cover a full set of the (crappy) equipment for sale in the very first town. The Game Boy Color version doesn't even give you that much! The king sends you off with a club, a simple set of wayfarer's clothes, and 50G, which is just enough to buy a pot lid for a shield. Thanks a lot, kingy. Not like the whole future of the world depends on me or anything… Oh and never mind about the castle treasury. Apparently you need a special key for that and no one around has it. Guess I'll go find my own key myself. | |

Bonus points that it is a seafaring tale. The Gaia's Navel dungeon features a creepy hallway with talking heads in the walls telling the hero to, "go back," as he passes each one.

Boring Return Journey: The game does not conclude with the defeat of Zoma. You complete the game by returning to visit the King of Alefgard. You can go anywhere you like before doing this, including visiting towns to receive thanks from all the people you've saved. While getting to the Big Bad involves thousands of random battles, after his defeat, there are none to be found, even in the dungeons, since apparently defeating the boss results in the elimination of all his mooks. | |

But guess what; you're not leaving with them. From the moment you collect the Golden Claws, every single individual step you take in any direction will trigger a monster encounter. The only feasible way to get them and get out safely is after you've levelled well beyond that point in the game. | |

BattleBikini | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_d92bc19d | comment |
Battle Bikini: Female characters can equip these, drastically raising their evasion and making the enemy react erratically. Also, the female warriors wear this all the time (oddly changing into a one-piece when they equip the actual bikini "armor"). Two kinds of bikinis were in the original game: a standard bikini that was the weakest armor, and a very rare magical version that's pretty good if you can get it. The remakes add a third one: a "sacred" version that blows away the best armor and is second only to a dress made of concentrated holy light! Game-Favored Gender? Yes, and we all love it. | |

Job System | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_dbc1f807 | comment |
Job System: One of the earliest known examples to the RPG genre. Save for the hero, characters aren't locked to one class or archetype for the entirety of the game as once they reach level 20 they can switch to a new class. While it knocks them back to level one, they keep half their stats and any skills or spells learned beforehand which makes getting them up to speed not so tedious. With enough patience and foresight it's possible to create anything from a versatile Magic Knight to a Jack of All Trades support character to a Lightning Bruiser with no real weaknesses. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Most of the kings are clever enough to realize that helping the Hero and their party is paramount to the world's continued existence. Generally, if a ruler is not helping you or giving you tips, it is a safe assumption that they are some monster impersonating the real authority figure. | |

I Will Only Slow You Down: Two brothers are stranded in the desert; the older one, too exhausted to continue, tells his sibling to take all of their water and continue on alone. The younger brother turns to the hero for advice: Should he try and carry his brother, follow his last wishes, or leave the water with him and hope he finds help? | |

Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Several important villains are reptile-like: Orochi, the man-eating monster found in the island of Jipang, is a flame-breathing, five-headed, green-scaled dragon. Baramos looks like a wingless, fat Pteranodon. And Ortega gets killed by the King Hydra. Ethereal Serpents, Wyrtles, Wyrtoises, Boreal Serpents, Infernal Serpents, Hydras, and Metal Chimaeras make their debut in the series, while Chimaeras and Hocus Chimaeras return after being absent in the previous game. | |

However, conversations with characters in this world, and your journey into the cave to get the Hero's Shield, reveal that Zoma crawled out from somewhere BELOW that world. And this may have been doing occurring for several additional cycles ("This world, too, will be covered in darkness.."). | |

Fighter, Mage, Thief: The original game introduced Martial Artists and Monks -strong hitters with high defense and low speed-, as well as Priests, Mages and Sages -physically fragile wielders of powerful magic-; and the SNES remake introduced Thieves -low defense, fantastic speed and evasion-, completing the class triangle. | |

Franchise Codifier | |
| Dragon Quest III (Video Game) / int_f470199 | comment |
Franchise Codifier: The game was not only the Trope Codifier for the Eastern RPG genre, but also solidified the direction combat in the series would take. Dragon Quest was a simple game where you controlled one Magic Knight fighting against one monster at the time while Dragon Quest II experimented with the idea of multiple combatants, with the party leader being a Magically Inept Fighter with the other party members being a Magic Knight and a Squishy Wizard, who are both capable of offensive and support magic. Dragon Quest III solidified the combat roles of characters by introducing a Job System, having classes (or rather Vocations) with the main character being the Magic Knight "Hero" class along with providing iconic vocations such as the strong but slow Warrior, support magic focused Priest, attack magic specialist Mage and fast but fragile Martial Artist. Even entries of Dragon Quest without the Job System have characters fulfill roles based on the established vocations. | |

Player Personality Quiz: Used in the remakes. After answering a series of questions, the player is presented with a final scenario where your actions determine what the mysterious voice determines your character to be. Some of these scenarios include: Forced Transformation: The hero finds themselves turned into a monster and thrown into the middle of a town. Do they avoid unnecessary deaths and escape as quickly as possible, or slaughter everyone in sight? I Will Only Slow You Down: Two brothers are stranded in the desert; the older one, too exhausted to continue, tells his sibling to take all of their water and continue on alone. The younger brother turns to the hero for advice: Should he try and carry his brother, follow his last wishes, or leave the water with him and hope he finds help? Leap of Faith: People are taking a flying leap off a high tower to prove their courage. The hero can choose to jump themselves or turn around and walk away. My Master, Right or Wrong: A king is about to lead his country to war, unaware that his wife has orchestrated everything to get her hands on their fortune. The hero overhears her Evil Gloating, but cannot convince the king to call it off, and must decide whether they are willing to fight for the kingdom despite disagreeing with its rulers or not. | |
