Dragon Quest IX has significantly more character customization options than any other Dragon Quest game to date. You start your adventure by making a hero by picking a gender, face, body, and a class for your character. Square Enix isn’t straying far from the basics with the first five announced classes in Dragon Quest IX. RPG fans should be very familiar with terms like warrior and priest, but here are some details on what they do in Dragon Quest IX.
