Combat is turn-based as in the series standard, with a monster's actions being shown in third-person and the player's avatar being depicted from behind as they preform an action. Battle is not limited to one-on-one fights, and players can form real life parties to tackle difficult missions together. Basic vocations--[[Warrior]], [[Priest]], [[Martial Artist]], [[Mage]], and [[Thief]]--were available at launch, with advanced vocations being added in the January 28 2020 update including the [[Gladiator]], [[Sage]], and [[Ranger]]. Advanced vocations require mastery of two basic careers in order to unlock, similar to the system seen in ''Dragon Quest VI'', with the ranger requiring the player reach level 50 in the martial artist and thief for example. When exploring dungeons, the camera will shift to a first-person mode and steps will be taken one at a time in-game with random encounters triggering. | Combat is turn-based as in the series standard, with a monster's actions being shown in third-person and the player's avatar being depicted from behind as they preform an action.
