Gameplay

The gameplay, much like its predecessor, is a classic style role playing game. Although it is much like the first Dragon Warrior in terms of the gameplay style many new features were added. Instead of traveling alone this time around you had two other companions that joined you as you traveled on your quest. Rather than attacking alone monsters would now fight together as well. Another new feature was the introduction of a ship which allowed the player to travel around the whole world. You could now save at multiple towns instead of just one and many new spells, equipment, and items were added. Gambling also made its first appearance in the series in the form of a slot machine that you could play.
