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]].
