History Trivia / DragonQuestVI

** [[spoiler: Nokturnus agreeing to assist the heroes if he's beaten within a set number of turns was done as a nod to a popular rumor that Estark, the BonusBoss of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'', could be recruited into the player's party if he was defeated within a certain time limit.]]

** Terry first came to USA in 2000 thanks to ''VideoGame/DragonQuestMonsters. Since the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS version of this game was released in February 2011, it's just over 10 years. Happy Anniversary!

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: While [[NetworkToTheRescue Nintendo ended up publishing the game in the West]], they only gave it a limited printed run compared to ''IV'' and ''V'', which were both published by Square. Due to this, when the game went out of print, the second-hand pricing went through the roof.

* FanNickname: Both Nevan and Terry are often referred to as "Voucher" in Japan due to many players making much greater use of something acquired as a result of them joining the party (the Staff of Ghent for Nevan, Lizzie for Terry) than the actual characters themselves. Nevan receives this slightly more often, as his dweeby design and lack of characterization prior to the remake caused many to ignore him entirely, whereas Terry's [[{{Bishonen}} good looks]] and [[CutscenePowerToTheMax great strength prior to joining the party]] made many excited to use him only to become disappointed after discovering him to be OverratedAndUnderleveled. Ironically, Nevan is actually statistically superior to Terry in every category besides style, and is in fact a perfectly viable party member from the moment he joins the party.

* AscendedFanon: Fanworks portrayed Lizzie as Terry's StalkerWithACrush long before the remake canonized it.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Terry was originally designed as the game's hero, with the intention of making him seem a bit shiftier than previous protagonists, but was ultimately replaced by the more conventional hero design used in the final game.

** Until fairly late in the game's development, Ashlynn's real world body was supposed to be the dragon that brought the party to Murdaw's castle in the opening. Late in the game, she would have reunited with the party, gaining the ability to become a dragon in battle and the ability to effectively become the party's airship. This was changed to Ashlynn [[spoiler: not having a real world body]]. Remnants of this idea still exist, including dialogue in Sorceria mentioning that she could transform into a dragon, and Ashlynn not being able to be put away in Patty's Party Planning Place (because that would have deprived the party of its airship).
