*All stats caps have been raised from 255 to 999
*{{Agility}} is no longer divided by two to calculate base defence, now determining base evasion instead (while still impacting turn-order)
*{{Luck}} now penetrates a monster's resistance to status ailments in addition to protecting the character from the same, determines how often characters score a [[Critical Hit]], and also has a minor influence on physical damage
*{{Resilience}} now determines base defence power instead of HP growth
*{{Stamina}} has been added to determine HP growth, using the same formula as Resilience did in previous versions
*{{Wisdom}} now increases magic damage by up to 30% instead of each spell being fixed to a static range, in addition to MP growth, and now influences the learning of certain combat skills in addition to spells

*Monsters' resistances to attack spells has shifted from stochastic to damage reduction, as has been the series standard since {{Dragon Quest V}} in 1992
*Striking a monster with an element it is weak to displays the damage in red, and hitting it with a resisted element displays damage in blue
*The player is notified if a monster automatically heals at the end of its turn
