*Other ''Dragon Quest'' protagonists as alternative character costumes for the Hero - In the same ''Dragon Quest XI S'' livestream interview, Sakurai wanted to include eight different character alternative costumes for the Hero; however, poor development time left him with half of the alternative costumes to be re-colours of the previous four instead of fully implemented characters.
