– Red uses fans, whips, and short swords
– Morrie has a funny way of walking
– He can use the “Tiger Claw” weapon, which was seen in Dragon Quest X
– In the original Dragon Quest VIII, you always had to spend all of your skill points obtained after leveling up, but this time you’ll get to save them for when you’d like to use it next time
– Normal and fast battle speed options
– Fast option increases the battle speed by x1.5
– Red also has the “Steal” ability
