==''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''==
[[File:DQVII Hero class.png|right|Hero design implemented in the 3DS remake|border|180px]]
The Hero class draws on the power of heroes past in order to save the world. The Hero regains HP every round. The higher the tier level, the more HP regained. In order to become a Hero, one must master three intermediate classes or two intermediate classes and an advanced class.

The player can also obtain a Hero Heart from defeating [[Numen|The Almighty]] in 19 turns or less, though unlike Monster Hearts (or other Monster Vocations), the skills learned from mastering the Hero Heart do not transfer to other vocations.
