	* As in games ''[[Dragon Quest IV\|IV]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest V\|V]]'', there is a [[wagon]] to store extra party members. It can hold up to eight additional PCs. There can once more be four PCs in the active party at once. Unlike in the two preceding games, characters in the wagon can cast spells at any time, even in dungeons where the wagon cannot go.		*As in games ''[[Dragon Quest IV\|IV]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest V\|V]]'', there is a [[wagon]] to store extra party members.

			*Characters now move twice as quickly in towns and dungeons than they do in the world map.

Some wells house [[Well wisher]] monsters that attack the party when they try to enter. Other wells may have additional wells inside, connecting the two worlds.
			*The party combat modes have been changed slightly; there is now a new strategy which causes the other party members to focus exclusively on supporting the Hero. It will also cause monsters to focus on attacking the Hero. The AI now takes account of previous events in the round, so it is useful to have some slow characters that act last in the round. Also, other party members will automatically attack enemies' weak points, having a full understanding fot heir elemental and status ailment vulnerabilities. Because of these traits, the AI is more efficient than a human player. The AI was toned down somewhat in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]'' and onwards, including ''VI's'' remake.

	As the sixth installment to the ''Dragon Quest'' series, the graphics and gameplay remain close to the other games, with minor additions and upgrades. The graphics were improved from ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'', which was also for the SNES, but had only a 16-megabit cartridge. ''Dragon Quest VI'' uses a 32-megabit cartridge instead. Navigation remains largely unchanged from the previous games and the turn-based battles are still only in first-person. The vocation system from ''Dragon Quest III'' returns, with minor adjustments.

	===Vocation system===		===Vocation system===
	This Dragon Quest, like ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]'', features an extensive class system, referred to as vocations in games. The way vocations affect characters differs from those of ''Dragon Quest III'' and ''IX''; once the party gets to [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VI)\|Alltrades Abbey]], they have the option of becoming one of nine base vocations. Once a character takes up a trade, his or her class causes certain attributes to increase and decrease. To gain new abilities or spells associated with a trade, the character must fight a set number of battles in that trade in order to improve their rank. If a character masters two or three of these occupations by increasing their rank to the maximum of eight, they may upgrade to a second tier vocation. For example, mastering the warrior and the martial artist vocations allows a character to become a gladiator. Once certain hybrid classes are mastered, an attribute relating to that class will permanently increase.
