This is the final game in the | This is the final game in the Erdrick trilogy and is the first chronologically. The story follows the traditional Dragon Quest Hero, who is on an adventure to save the world from evil.

While the combat system remains close to the previous Dragon Quest games, keeping battles turn-based and in first-person, Dragon Warrior III expanded on the open world and nonlinear gameplay of its predecessors, and introduced innovations such as a persistent world with its own day-night cycle, and a class-changing system inspired by Wizardry, which is later seen in [[Dragon Quest VI]], [[Dragon Warrior VII]], and [[Dragon Quest IX]]. This class system allows the player to customize his or her party by changing character classes during the game, and keep a character's stats and skills learned from previous classes. Dragon Quest III's class-changing system influenced future Japanese RPGs, especially the [[:Category:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy series]]. | While the combat system remains close to the previous Dragon Quest games, keeping battles turn-based and in first-person, Dragon Warrior III expanded on the open world and nonlinear gameplay of its predecessors, and introduced innovations such as a persistent world with its own day-night cycle, and a class-changing system inspired by Wizardry, which is later seen in [[Dragon Quest VI]], [[Dragon Warrior VII]], and [[Dragon Quest IX]].
