* EpilepticTrees: The King of Calamity, one of the game's {{Superboss}}es, resembles Estark, a villain that first appeared in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'', albeit with more spikes and a tail, prompting fans to think they're related and naming him [[FanNickname Esetarku]]. ''[[VideoGame/DragonQuestMonstersTheDarkPrince The Dark Prince]]'' goes even further with [[spoiler:Estark Izmah, one of Azabel's creations.]]

** After the base game was released, people criticized the game for being long and hard, while not having various classes such as Paladins and Sages, EXP grinding was too long, among other things. 1.1 and various versions onwards adds Rarefied monsters, Metal Slime dungeons, and even new story content showing more than what the base game had.
** People who wanted to play the game like a usual turn-based entry were relieved when the Offline version of the game became its own separate game with [[PromotedToPlayable Mjoll, Duston, Hussar, Prince Ragus, and Fuura as official party members]], a new side story showing the Hero's sibling with the creation of the Heavenly Ark, and other perks like voice acting from the very beginning of the game, advanced classes like Gladiator and Dancer available right from Version 1's story after certain requirements are fulfilled, and all the other Versions of the game's story starting with Version 2 becoming DLC.

*** This is in contrast to many, mostly free to play, online games like Videogame/PhantasyStarOnline2, who apologise to their fanbase when there's ANY suggestion of IP blocking except when there is a localised version.
** They effectively skipped it in favour of a protracted localisation of VideoGame/DragonQuestXI, which likely will not sell very well in the West due to taking ''an entire year'' in localisation, which would have been easily fixed by simply releasing this game.
** A recent update changed the original offline campaign into a side-quest in the online portion of the game, effectively rendering the fact it was the offline campaign logistically useless, and further incensing the western fanbase who, now, can't even play the game '''''offline''''' any more.
