Dragon Warrior III (also known as Dragon Quest III) is a defining 1988 role-playing game developed by Chunsoft and published by Enix for the SNES. Expanding significantly upon its predecessors, the game introduces a flexible class system that allows you to recruit and customize your party members at the tavern in Aliahan. It also features a sprawling world map complete with a day and night cycle that affects town events and monster encounters.

Tips
- Diversify your party: A balanced early-game party consists of a Warrior for physical damage, a Cleric for healing, and a Mage for offensive spells.
- Save your gold for gear: Monsters drop very little gold early on. Rely on the inn for healing rather than buying expensive medicinal herbs, and save up for better weapons in Romaria.
- Change classes at level 20: Once a character reaches level 20, they can change classes at the Shrine of Dhama, retaining their learned spells but dropping back to level 1.
