** When Carver and Terry attack the party, Maribel asks, "What is the matter with people in your world! Doesn't anybody try to do anything but kill each other?" Teresa tries to find an example of that ''not'' happening, but can't think of one and just gives up.

*CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Fractos]], the twin of Unos, originally a co-ruler of the world, was driven by his love of power and kick-started a war [[CainAndAbel against his brother]] and summoned the Dreadbolt to blast his own world, destroying all mortals in it and leaving them [[BarredFromTheAfterlife unable to go to the afterlife]]. After getting sealed away, Fractos escaped and used various means to [[TheChessmaster manipulate war]] in the world, such as murdering the King of Dunisia while taking the form of King of Harba and giving the peace-loving King of Al-Kazam the Sword of Discord, corrupting him into a ruthless warlord, leading to countless casualties. Later, Fractos manipulated the power-hungry King of Accordia into assisting him in destroying humanity and brainwashed the monster army into attacking their own country, only to quickly kill him [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness once he is no longer useful to him]]. Fractos then summoned his castle Black Manse, ready to charge the Dreadbolt to destroy humanity again in the World of Light.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Some of the character interactions are downright adorable. Particular are Carver becoming a big brother figure for Maribel and Torneko becoming a father figure for Ruff.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny:
** Maribel's reaction to Teresa calling her "Sweetie" and setting not being called that ever again as one of her conditions for joining the party.
** Watching Jessica continually brush off Angelo's flirting with her during their introductory scene as well as her body language whenever he flirts with any of the other girls they just met.

* PortingDisaster: The UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch version, a CompilationRerelease of this and the previous installment as ''Dragon Quest Heroes I & II'' sounded like a good idea, bundling both games as one. Unfortunately, the Switch port runs at half the framerate of the other versions. 30 frames-per-second is generally acceptable, yet it dips below that during combat when a more stable framerate is needed due to the HackNSlash nature of ''Heroes''. This got worse when it was discovered the Switch's portable mode performed poorly compared to the console being docked.

** Gigantes, which can be found in the Damned Dunes in the other world. They're every bit as powerful and dangerous as their size would have you believe. You never actually have to pick a fight with one, but if you decide to challenge them, ''beware!''
** Roseguardins, despite looking like a palette swap of the much less dangerous armour type enemies, has easily the highest defense of any monster that isn't a MetalSlime. Even with a Metal King Sword you won't be doing much damage to them per hit (though spells do a fair amount of damage to them). On top of that, they block your every move, attack very swiftly and suddenly, and hit very hard with their attacks. They also tend to come in large groups on top of that. Thankfully they only appear in the post game.

* ThatOneBoss: Dhuran. He may not have the resilience of the other three bosses in his stage, nor does he summon minions to aid him, but he ''more'' than makes up for it with sheer damage and unpredictably relentless attacks. Hope you didn't fight him last.

** Drackymas. They're not the only enemies in the game that can put you to sleep, but they are by far the most common, appearing all the way into the later areas of the game. Worse, they have the tendency to pop up around far more dangerous enemies.
** Ghosts and all variations thereof, for their ability to vanish and then suddenly stun you out of nowhere with a scare. Expect this to happen ''all the time'' around a group of them.

* EndingFatigue: The final act of the game is short on plot but very heavy on fighting. [[spoiler:It begins with learning about and traveling to the alternate world, effectively doubling the size of the world map (with no Zoom capability). The final dungeon features an incursion mission, a BossRush against four powerful foes, another incursion, a Tower Defense mission to protect Healix that's twice as long as the previous one with him, and another series of short battles against previous foes before finally leading up to the two-part final boss.]] The actual battles remain fun but, for people who are wanting to reach the end, it can drag a bit.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Fans who weren't happy with the lack of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVII'' material in the first ''Heroes'', especially since it pulled characters from almost every installment after ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII'' but still skipped ''VII'' for some reason, were pleased to hear Maribel and Gabo/Ruff were included in the {{Sequel}}.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome:
** The reveal trailer (which is also the game's opening move) gives one to almost everyone: The OriginalGeneration characters leap into an army of monsters and take down countless without taking any hits themselves. Maribel unleashes a Kafrizzle in classic ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' SpiritBomb style that's at least 10x her size and vaporizes a group of monsters while Ruff, despite being caught in the explosion, manages to land on his wolf and ride away without a scratch. Carver ''rips off the top of a mountain'' and chucks it at the enemy while Terry almost casually rides on top of it while drawing his sword. Alena takes down a griffon, a creature 4x her size, with a single kick. Jessica unleashes a Kacrackle spell that Angelo surfs on while firing a magic-charged arrow. Meena and Maya stand as BackToBackBadasses while combining their magic to destroy the monsters surrounding them. And Kiryl [[ThrowTheDogABone actually manages to kill a monster with Thwack]]! The only one left out is [[ButtMonkey Torneko]], who is running away from an entire wave of monsters (but does lead them into the smackdown from Kiryl and Alena).
** A meta example for the game and an aversion of TrailersAlwaysSpoil: [[spoiler: ''every'' playable character from the first game eventually returns! That includes the first game's original heroes and Psaro]]!

** The Switch version... With a good few games, like SteamWorldDig and DragonballXenoverse, you're never going to get that OldSaveBonus. However, on Switch, it's being released as Dragon Quest Heroes I AND II, meaning you get BOTH games at once!
* PortingDisaster: The Switch port runs at half the framerate of the other versions. While 30 FPS is usually okay, it dips below that in combat....when a stable framerate is actually needed (and it's even worse in portable mode).
