<td>Dragon Quest VI utilizes the classic turn-based attack system. And, like  the other Dragon Quest titles, much of your time is spent battling  monsters from around the world. Don't be surprised if you're taking on  the role of a hero trying to rescue and rid the world from evil. If  you're a Dragon Quest fan, this is only to be expected. Two different  worlds can be traveled between and explored; the Real World and the  Dream World. There's also an underwater realm in this game, which isn't  too frequently found in the Dragon Quest franchise. Personally, I think  this will be pretty exciting. How often does our hero get to battle  aquatic foes?! Anyway, the opening story shows you (the hero)  accompanied by some other party members riding on the back of a dragon  only to meet up close and personal with a demon named Murdaw. Now is  where the story gets interesting.</td>
