2* After the ending, the Hero (and his bloodline) basically ends up ruling over half of the world anyway.
3* In the original release of Dragon Quest, the message on Erdrick's tombstone was in the same kind of YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe as the rest of Tantegel, but in subsequent versions, it notably has much more contemporary speech in stark contrast to everyone else. There's a reason for this: the hero Erdrick [[VideoGame/DragonQuestIII didn't come from this underdeveloped world]].
4* In-game dialogue from various [=NPCs=] suggest a justification of the WithThisHerring trope present: you're not the first random adventurer to claim lineage from the Legendary Hero--in fact, you're hardly the most impressive-looking claimant of the lot. Some of the more skeptical don't even believe you until you're slain the dragonlord.

7* Some amount of time had definitely passed since Lora/Gwaelin was kidnapped and your quest began. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation How much is unknown]], but even if it were just a week or so, she was guarded by that dragon, in that cave, all that time. [[{{Squick}} Some fans have theorized that she survived by eating the bodies of dead monsters.]] The more time that it actually was, the creepier this becomes.
