Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake - FULL TRAILER ANALYSIS

[@gamerprince-tl5hg]

Wow... I didn't realize how limited in scope the 2021 version of the remake was until now. Definitely feels worth wait now.

[@rendelldraw]

I love how they expanded the world map, and it looks like they did the same to the towns/villages and dungeons!

[@mr.j3rs3y]

Yeah, it makes sense why it was taking so much time now. They were expanding the world and the story.

[@jedirayden]

I think "The hour of awakening draws near..." is actually just a grandiose way of referring to the beginning of the game. You are awakened by your mother after dreaming of your father, on the morning of your 16th birthday to go meet the king before setting out on your journey. Definitely could be referencing Ramia, but I had a different thought so I figured I'd share it.

[@Stargazing_night_sky]

16? I know this is an old rpg, but that's a gripe I already have with the game. I'm tired of playing rpgs where you're a kid that doesn't look like a kid. JJBA type of logic lol it's something I can look past though because I really want to get into dragon quest

[@KanterburyGuardian]

@@Stargazing_night_sky Bro wdym the Hero doesn't look THAT old. Also, his entire journey doesn't take place in just 1 year lmao of course he's older than 16 when he saves the world

[@Stargazing_night_sky]

@KanterburyGuardian No, he doesn't look old asf, but he does NOT look like a 16 year old. He looks like he'd be in his 20s. Thank you for clarifying though because most games do take place in a short period of time. I've never played 3, so I didn't know

[@chadhartsees]

This is an excellent video... got a subscriber from this! Your love for DQ and knowledge... *chefs kiss*. Great analysis.

51:20 I believe that's the volcano where you throw down a certain sword and the eruption forms a "bridge" made from the cooled down lava

[@ignasia7230]

Yes, that's clearly the volcano that opens the path to the Necrogond.

[@veghesther3204]

Correct that's the only volcano area in the entire game their isn't a actual Volcano dungeon area in game at all.

So glad theyre making these. Never got to play the og games, so cant wait to get my hands on these 3 eventually.

[@TheSpartanS196]

dq 1, 2 and 3 are available RIGHT NOW on switch already, no need to play the originals. Those remakes came out in 2019, and while more modern, better looking and with many QoL improvements, are still faithful and the pixel art is gorgeous. These 2D-HD look great but they were already available and easy to get and "remodernized" before this new 2d-hd remakes.

[@nightwish1453]

@@TheSpartanS196 i own those versions, and i did complete 3 but somehow it felt kinda eh...which is surprising cause i get told from people who played SNES and say it's amazing. the switch versions do feel like flash games with not much life in to them such as no enemy animations so most of the time it feels flat

[@Ivan4Flores]

I was surprised that the game looks just as much a continuation of original 7 and the DS remakes' style than what I was expecting from the "HD-2D" moniker. I'm even more grateful about the choices they made after all the map comparisons you pulled up. I agree with what you have to say about the cover art, gorgeous and lovely homage.

[@princevaliant]

Well glad you still stream lol~! :D I am one of them having the hance knowing it is DQ3 when the trailer starts, When I saw the first wall drawings I was like, DQ3???? then second drawing of the phoenix shown I was like it is right? then Roto were shown I was like, finally!!!!

[@veghesther3204]

But the 3DS version no longer HAS access to the 54 DLC dungeons the ONLY way AROUND that WITHOUT hacking the system is to PORT THAT version TO the PS4 PS5 Switch by simply NOT having the DLC dungeon in the same way IE buy them via the Casino or get them the same way as the Migrant town QUEST from the PS1 version IE random NPC's give you them.

"original version on the Super Famicom" ??? Am I misunderstanding your wording cause the original was on the Famicom/NES

[@CC-df3pn]

On the topic of the Zenithia games, I agree it won't be anytime soon, but they aren't 50+ hour games. I'm in the middle of a replay and 4 with all the postgame stuff and full pandemonic set farmed for the final member, 25ish hours. 5 again, around the 25 to 30 hour mark. Now 6 is the beefy one with the much bigger overworlds to explore and the vocation system. That one is definitely 40+ hours. To be clear I agree with you on your point just not the reason given for why. I also do think the fact the devs have created a logo for the Erdrick trilogy is important, why would they need that unless they possibly intend to do another trilogy with it's own little signifier? But that's a fanboy dream my rational brain is saying it would take too long so don't expect it

[@veghesther3204]

IN DQ6's case by the time I had 8 party members with every human job mastered and like at lv 65 IN the final dungeon I spent very CLOSE to 50 hours the 4th and 5th games however aren't even 15 to 20 hours long.

[@CC-df3pn]

@@veghesther3204 damn I saw you in the live chat but it's the gamefaqs legend themselves. The amount of times I've seen that username in old forum posts when searching things, madness. But yeah, 6 is the beefy game (well before 7 anyways, that is looong) 4 and 5 are decently paced not that long games.

[@ahmedfalahy9337]

I am genuinely curious about the new monster master class and how would it work. We do know that abilities are added during battle which could mean things like Warrior Hatchet Man, Monk Roundhouse Kick and Thief Rock Throw, abilities seen in DQ6/7 But the big question is how would the monster master operate? Here are my 2 ideas A) *Learn abilities as you level up which are also seen in DQ6/7. Mainly breath attacks that do damage or ailments like sleep, paralysis, poison* B) *Like the Blue Mage, Monster Master would have to view the monster using an enemy exclusive skill and the MM would learn it* Personally, I hope its Idea B. Perhaps its my love for Blue Mage but it also gives the player more gameplay to seek the many monsters and learn their unique skills. And I am almost certain that *monster master would not be a starter class* Probably need a similar item like the Zen Scroll for Sage

[@ahmedfalahy9337]

One more thing I wish for DQ3 HD2D Remake: *Make the Jester class useful* Now with abilities, perhaps the Jester class would function as more of a support/debuffer if abilities like tongue bashing (basically sap) or even dances like sultry dance, death dance or the all useful *Hustle Dance* And the Lucky Dip is now a useable ability instead of randomly proccing with basic attack

[@ignasia7230]

I am hoping they bring back Lucky Dip. I never liked that it was locked to DQ6. It's kind of interesting, and it is where Sword Dance started, though at only double normal damage, and it can't be buffed. The monster master class could also be tied into the monster arena system, since this is the game that started the monster arena. Perhaps instead of a gambling system, it becomes a proper arena?

[@CC-df3pn]

It could potentially incorporate the monster medals from the GBC remake, that was my first thought when I saw it. Because 3 doesn't have the wagon, actually recruiting monsters then going back to Patty's party planning every time to use them would be so cumbersome

[@mr.j3rs3y]

@@ahmedfalahy9337 Even if they don’t add that for the Jester class, I won’t complain, but I do think that would make them more fun to use.

[@veghesther3204]

Also Jester DQ6 only gets the DQ7's Shepherds nap skill sure it puts its USERS to sleep OUT of battle but since they still REGEN 1 MP PER step they take its still useful especially in games that lack good MP restore IN battle items though once you have like over 100+ Max MP the nap skill is kind of useless. As for Death dance make it the cause DAMAGE effect one theirs also a dance that can revive more then 1 party member but since its KILLS its user in the first place it would actually suck for the Jester to have that one usable.

[@Stargazing_night_sky]

34:19 before i give my opinions, i will say that im not an OG DQ fan. Ive only played 11, but i prefer the look that the original trailer had for the combat. I loved the idea of having the party off to the side of the screen a bit. But another big complaint that might kill some enjoyment for me is how the combat is first person. I know thats how all of the older games were, but it makes the combat look kinda boring tbh. When i play rpgs i like to see the character im playing as doing the attack i choose to do, you dont get any of that in first person. When i saw the original trailer for this game, seeing the characters off to the side made me think that they were keeping the battles in third person so you could see animations for your attacks. I know the purists are probably happy its in third person, but its a huge turn off for me. Im still gonna buy the game and im probably gonna love it, but i hope there is some type of option for third person during combat. DQ11 had a mode where you could make the game look like classic DQ so i know they CAN add a third person feature to the combat for this game, its just a matter if they want to or not i guess.

[@eldarmark]

Just noticed the waterfall at the end of the trailer, that's from the GBC edition, maybe the SNES (never played) -- it's where the dragon does the personality test at the very start of the game. So... at least some of the SNES/GBC stuff is coming?

[@mr.j3rs3y]

Yep it’s in the SNES Version as well. The SNES and GBC remakes are pretty much the same content-wise, though the GBC remake does have monster medals and an extra dungeon iirc.

[@nightwish1453]

What if you own and play the save and port the save in sequence DQ3+1+2 and will unlock a DLC? or rather special chapter all 3 heroes unite on a final adventure? Look at the cover where the 3 heroes are together and looking at that direction of the place?

[@nathanlenneman2805]

@sackchief - I'm very confident that the collector's edition "book" look is no accident... my guess is that this is the reddish book that is put back on the shelf at the end of DQ 11, as you referenced. How much you wanna bet the DQ I & II combo is gonna be the accompanying green book, right next to it? Better question, if that's the case, does that change your *need* to own it? I'm definitely in.

[@VegasGoldenJediKnight]

re: the new blue flame boss. the game didn't really have many intermediary bosses. you had the orochi and the boss troll. and that was about it. and i could race through to the orochi but i always had to level grind to be able to take him out. he could easily be somewhere before that. that party doesn't have a sage yet, so it's likely pre-level 20. the port town with the snow is probably the town north of jipang where you get ortega's helmet. that or it's something new.

[@veghesther3204]

That flame boss WAS the GBC own EVERY SINGLE monster medals in game one INCLUDNG the Divine Dragon boss ITSELF too bad the medal DROP rate was pretty much non existent as in the last time I played the Game boy color version so 30+ years ago WITHOUT a Thief in the party I had NO enemy drop even ONE for the ENTIRE game. The best way to FIX that is to keep the dungeon in this remake but DITCH the medals completely so that they aren't even IN the game.

[@ignasia7230]

They've been up since the Direct, the SE store about 20 minutes after it actually. Amazon US went up like 5 hours after, but Best Buy had the page up and ready to roll out like an hour after the Direct.

[@TheSpartanS196]

I hope they completely rework the personality system, making it from "make a full female, full vamp party or else you're making your experience worse" to something more like pokemon natures, where (most of) them have their usefulness depending on the pokemon and build you want. It's absurd that some personalities give -90% to overall stats (Gourmand) and others (Vamp) an overall +70%, in an overall 160% difference through the 5 stats (for those who are not understanding these percentages, not getting how it's possible to have a 160% difference: all the stats have the "everyman" average starting point of 100%, which of course depends on the class (let's just make up some numbers for clarity: let's say your average Warrior, with a personality that doesn't modify Strenght at all, has 50 Strenght at level 10. A warrior with a personality that boosts strenght by 20% will have 60 strenght at level 10, 120% of the "normal value", while a warrior with a personality that nerfs strenght will have 80% of that normal value, with just 40 strenght). Since there are 5 stats (so the "everyman" personality, with no bonus nor malus, will leave every stat at its 100% regular value for that class), how "good" a personality is depends on how much the overall stats exceed or are below the "regular" 100%/100%/100%/100%/100% (which gives a "500 overall stat value"). A vamp has 110%/120%/105%/115%/120% stat split, giving them a total 70 percentage points over the 100%/x5 average, while Gourmands have an horrific 110%/60%/110%/50%/80% split, giving them an "overall" -90 (410 if you sum the 5 stats, vs 500 everyman and 570 vamp). The fact there are OBJECTIVELY worse/better personalities is horrible and kills customization because you don't actually have to "think" about the best personality for a character, you just give them Vamp , Clown or Lucky Devil (+70%, +40% and +60% respectively). Those 4 are OBJECTIVELY the best personalities and there's no reason whatsoever to use any other. Hope they fix that and make them all playable to I will actually want to make a Wit or Genius Mage, a Thug Thief and stuff like that. Otherwise it will be a useless "mechanic" whose purpose is still "get vamp or gtfo". And honestly, kinda same goes for the vocations: you actually use them for early and mid game, which is great, but by late/end-game you want a team with full sages, done not just by making them all sages directly but by making them switch vocations to get spells and stuff like that to finally "graduate" to sage when you think they don't have anything more to learn. So sure, the sage-that-used-to-be-a-warrior will be a bit different from the sage-that-used-to-be-a-mage, but they will all be sages anyway. Too strong of a class to justify using the others if you can still keep the benefits of their previous classes anyway.

I do love her, but she is overshadowed by Maya, and she deserves some extra love, too. Maya could have a story too. As for 5, I want more of a story for Nera and Debora, because as much as I love the DQ5 game, there is not a reason for me to pick Nera or Debora over Bianca. Plus the kids getting the staff to unstone the MC. I would love to play the kids story in this, plus you wouldn’t have to grind afterwards.

[@TheKN128]

The cover art says “the erdrick trilogy” makes me wonder if the zenithian trilogy is next up for a remake. Maybe after 12.

[@CeliriaRose]

I don’t think the Zenithian trilogy is as unreasonable as you describe. Yes they are bigger games but at the same time with DQ3’s remake and the remake of DQ 1+2 they can cut down the dev time with reuse of basic assets and systems. I doubt we will get a trilogy set for the Zenithian ttilogy but what I could see happening is DQ3 this year, DQ 1+2 next year, DQ12 in 2026, and then follow that up with DQ4, DQ5, and DQ6 over the years following. Just a steady feed of remakes provided 3, 2, and 1 perform well enough to justify. Additionally as the series progresses I feel like there would be less need to expand as much with the remakes. 1+2 I’m guessing will have decent amounts of fleshing out done since they are somewhat barebones storywise due to their age. Meanwhile DQ3 was less so but still had some room for fleshing out in places. But with DQ4 onwards there was more focus on the characters or story so less need to flesh out as much. So overall I think a HD 2D Zenithian trilogy is feasible and might even be in pre planning stages but I expect it won’t be revealed for a bit probably after DQ12.

[@DGFTardin]

I REALLY want to play this game again, and it'll rule to have a definitive version

[@ignasia7230]

So the room you think is where the Golden Claw is found? More likely that's under Isis, where you find the Meteorite Bracer, and the skeleton appears in front of you, awoken from the dead, asking if you took it. You missed something rather critical at the 50s marker in the launch video. Look VERY carefully at that ice room with the warp. VERY carefully. Some are saying it might just be the warp station in the NW, just South of the old man asking for the Staff of Change. However, there's no sign of any plants outside the walls, and that station is still on green, just near ice, and the original version of that warp room and all remake versions have no ice. So if there were ice present, it would be minimal at best. What is the special GBC dungeon called, the one you have to wish for and require medals for? ==== There were a few other things I should have typed out as I listened, but I forgot, and I have to get back to tweaking my saves...almost done, I am sorry for the long ass wait. Half of it is the issue of connecting between systems, sometimes I have to reset each of the map shares if I change to a different save file. Plus certain verifications. Not that it matters too much now, but at least when it's done, it's done. I'm planning on getting back to my Android/iOS + Switch DQ3 FAQ, and prep a version for this game. ==== References to 1 and 2...I should note that VII has a reference to 1~3, in the Kingsblade in 7 being the same weapon. Even having the same look as the blade of the same name in 11 and 3. Well comparing 11's visual aesthetic to the sword. There's references in Caravan Heart, since Kiefer is transferred to Torland aka the larger world of Alefgard in DQ2, that suggest the reason he goes there is the royal family of Estard are decedents of Midenhall.

[@ignasia7230]

Eh...your take on the length of these games is a bit off. DQ3 is only about a 20~25 hour game. You can stretch it out. The post game content of the SFC added maybe 3 hours required, 5 hours of extra grinding. Pachisi/TnT tracks do tack on a lot of time, nothing like with 5's, but it's extra side content, and the first three tracks are much easier to complete than in 5. The dice rolls are also more favourable. DQ4 is about 23~27 hours. The remakes drive it down to 18~22 hours, despite being a bigger game than 3, as the world map is now 1/2 the size of the NES and walking speed is increased. Post-game with the remakes is about 4~5 hours. DQ5 is only like a 20~25 hour game. It's actually very short, but the monster hunting just jacks up the time as it's easy to get invested, or maybe luck with certain desired monsters is poor. The post-game dungeon is like another 3 hours. The TnT tracks in the remakes though? Those tack on a lot of time, especially the final two, though it's optional so I'm not directly counting them. DQ6 is where the series beings to expand into a naturally long game. It's about 35~40 hours. The bonus dungeon is like 5 hours extra accounting for some leveling up in preparation just to beat Nokturnus. The original game lasted considerably longer if you add in monster recruitment, as while the number of available monsters is like 1/6 of what DQ5's original incarnation offered, the rates are insane, and the spawn rates for half of them are very low (it's amazing how rare Slime Knights are). So it can take longer to recruit 1 of everything in 6 SFC, than even in 5 DS. The slimes in 6 DS though, they add maybe 30 minutes extra time at most for the dialogue? 6 also has no special extra mini-game that is designed as a time eater for any version. Those times are just getting through the game story, doing the basic sidequests inherent to the story (or built around the original), and the added post-game times are...just that. They're not particularly long games, but the way most of us play them, it stretches them out. Take IX for example. That game is only 18~22 hours long. That's it. That's the whole story with some minor alchemy tossed in, and some grinding for some extra points, so maybe 1 class change and dumping points into one or two classes. Though that skips the bulk of the sidequest system, like 95~100% (you could do a few here and there and get away with 22 hours while grinding for the Warrior's skill tree for the HP/Strength/Resilience boosts). That's just how short the actual storyline is. Though there are a lot of extra dialogue scenes that are one-time only, similarly to 7 and 8 (somewhat with 6, and miniscule level with 5). ==== I should state that the mainsite for HD-2D releases...is just DragonQuestHD2D. That's it. So I'm guessing based on how well the Roto trilogy sells (they've solidified it Japan that it's a hard R), they plan to do 4~6. Then we'll see. Maybe 9 is handled with this system? Especially as that's been on the backburner with Level-5, despite that the teaser back on its anniversary was a clear indicator it was greenlit and Level-5 was planning on handling its remake. So given time, who knows what the fate of 9 is. ==== I actually see 12 releasing next year. 1+2 in a window between February and April, and 12 in September through November.

Well, to be fair, the cat suit was a rare drop and one of the best armors for mages in the mid game. I guess is there for those who want a mage who doesn't die in one or two hits. Or to have a more resilient priest at the start of the game.

[@veghesther3204]

I disagree the cat suit armor does NOTHING against Breath/Magic attacks and only those type of armors to decrease THAT type of damage is worth it the Cat suit is only good against normal physical hits and Kabuff still makes it useless. The Flame/Ice wolf BOSS was only IN The Game boy color version collect EVERY monster medal type in game INCLUDING the DIVINE Dragon POST game boss Beat the Said Divine Drrgon boss in under 20 turns and the GBC version added a wish upon its death to access a ice cave dungeon. But that Ice Cave dungeon you could NOT open its entrance without EVERY SINGLE MONSTER metal in game including the one off of the Post game boss but since the ITEM drop rate for those medals were practically non existent LESS then 1% I never could enter it and like DQ7's monster hearts you can't STEAL those medals so the Thief Class is pretty much useless on the Game boy color version. Though the Ice Cave GBC boss will be in this remake the MONSTER Medal drop requirement better NOT HAVE them exist at all.

[@ignasia7230]

Wow, that I agree with vegh on something...scary. It was never that great of an armour, not compared to its DQ11 counterpart. Though perhaps they've altered its stats, similarly to how certain armours had added bonuses in the GBC version? I do hope they relooked at what equipment isn't worthwhile that's rare to find, and added some reductions. In the NES version, yeah, it was useful if you found it. Though in the remakes not as much. Probably because they expanded equipment lists a bit. Plus leveling was a bit faster. However if you brought a thief as one of your starting classes? I have gotten one in more than one playthrough on multiple remakes. Though it is still fun as it does change your appearance.

@@veghesther3204 I said "mid" game. There are not a lot of magic attacks in the earlier game, so at that point it helps a lot. Of course, it falls on usage as you advance.

[@yoman8027]

@@ignasia7230 Quite the opposite: it wasn't very good in the original NES game but got buffed in the remakes. The thing is that, having this since the start of the adventure, it's a very strong armor at that point. By the end game you won't be using it, of course.

[@veghesther3204]

Even mid game around the time you have access to Dharma Temple/Alltrades Abby the Cat suit armor is still worthless on the Switch version you ONLY fight IT on the way to Ra's mirror and all it does is boost defense and NOT to breath/magic attacks so its still worthless. Mid game Magic Armors/Shields are still buyable.

The snowy town could be Mur/Muor

[@Fauntleroy.]

My thought as well. It's the only town in the snowy region, although it didn't originally have a port.

[@princevaliant]

So Which version??? I am thinking to buy 2, 1 for my switch and 1 for PC but it's kinda waste money....especially they will have that collectors edition which is very expensive... I missed the old guide book where they have a novel of the story in the book(chinese version book way back in 1980+). I was dumb to throw that book away as the cover was badly damage. And I threw my SNES and the cartridge of DQ3 away when I moved my home back in early 2000...I still keep the DQV guide book which also have a novel story though. And I bought the GBA version of the english guidebook which is not as cool as the original chinese version as the guide book don't have the novel walkthrough....

[@maj-solidsnake1808]

2 (and 1) needed as much or even more a remake than 3 so it’s cool. To balance the difficulty, to simply be able to finish this fucking game with cannock not dead without have to pass quest or idk what

[@bernarddelosreyes1001]

Day 1 buy for me.

[@raustzeal4212]

May seem lame, but I am really hoping for the return of a few features that I feel are unlikely to return. Pachisi is one, the more likely of the 2 to return, but pachisi hasn't really been in any of the modern games. The main thing I loved was the monster den in romaly! It is a reference to cock fighting and gambling though so I feel like it will be cut for something less good

[@drmedicechsrick8702]

mild blood? im goin to call it, ortegas dying sceene at the end of the game goin to have some blood on ortega those giant statues with swords and lava have smithing kinda vibe to it, where there not alsol big statues with swords in 11 by the smithing place? i KNEW this purple fire dancer was not in the original, like i was not remembering any shadow flame dancer in 3 at all...but with 1 old new enemy confirmed.....it begs the question, what else shows up in this that was not in the original? you know me...hoping for mandrakes to show up would be cool, i mean they were supposed to appear in 3 (even if it was with a worse design) still, i hope i can see them in the new style and all that no talk after the teleport how it looks kinda like ice cave lookin? ok then you know what i dont like on the new battle screen? how the comand box just is ontop of the hero...maybe the command box changes possitions depending for wich character you are currently commanding about abilities, maybe they alsol add the skill point system and that makes you able to use those in 10, alltrades abey had alsol the looks of like blue roof and white marmor like look, so thats why i think it was alltrades that other harbor with the bit of snow...could it be the merchant town? like it was highter up to the north was it? so maybe they added snow to it, and an old man comes up to you and in old version an old man was the quest giver so to say for merchant town monster master being new class...even tho his class quest gives him a completly differend armor look, that of the fur suit lookin thing then that red one, speakin of that class, people speculate that those monster coins appear again and that he makes it easyer to get them...because i doupt monster taming be in it...or well it could be in there but more like 7 version of monster taming where they go to a resort kinda place and you can use them to generate random dungeon taplets...but i doupt you can get monsters as team members in this, 3 just dont feels like that kind of game that would do that i wonder, thats for way way later, if in 1 remake if you say yes to dragonlord, if it will actualy do a completly new and unique cutsceene instead of just what the other remake versions dit of it being just a bad dream

[@matthewrowlett1564]

Wow... and you call yourself a DQ Fan... you needed the opening IMAGES to know it was DQ? I knew at those first few notes... Dragon Quest has a particular Style... (jk, I didn't KNOW, but I suspected... and my suspicion was proven correct moments later.) Did it occur to you that these remakes might have added features and characters? Perhaps Ramia/Lamia AND Empyrea will be featured? We already know theres new bosses. And new weapons. Btw, the original game DID have cutscenes... well... A cutscene. The flashback, showing Ortega/Orga/Ortga(the missing father) Fighting... that was a cutscene.

sackchief - Dancing Flame appeared in DQ4.

[@sackchief]

It did not. You might be confusing it for the Firespirit which has a similar idea.

[@markplott4820]

@@sackchief - Fire Spirit had no arms or Legs and attacked in 3 . I think DQ 4 or later games had the Dancing flame too. but not DQ 8.

[@jaredandrews5806]

It seems less HD-2d and more 3D with HD-2D sprites. I'm a little disappointed - I preferred the look of the game revealed in the 2021 teaser

[@maj-solidsnake1808]

The name is 2,5 D like ps1 rpg and it’s very good also

[@jaredandrews5806]

@maj-solidsnake1808 I know it's 2.5D, but the scale of the new 3D environment seems out of proportion to the character sprites. If bigger is literally better, than shouldn't we be pushing for an FF7-style remake? I just don't feel any oomph from this final version of the remake

[@tenkuken7168]

Star ocean 2 remake also looks like this and thats a hd 2d

[@tenkuken7168]

Also this looks good at first but for gameplay perpective it will feel small and boring very fast like I played 2 games in this style star ocean second r is just way better in gameplay and world

[@nightwish1453]

@@jaredandrews5806 it's not like the remakes of 4 and 5 on ps1 and 2 and later ds made them 3d and for the ds version of 5 they kept it the same but with sprites instead of models. ff7 remake is a bit of a controversial thing as a remake depending on what you mean by it

[@bongchoof]

Ditching Toriyama is NOT okay. It is a hallmark of the series and one of the things that makes it unique from all the other anime games. There are plenty of artists that would respectfully honor his artstyle. It is 100% NOT Dragon Quest without the art. Dragon Quest is a number of things. It is not just one thing. But losing one of those things means it loses itself. And I can tell you Dragon Quest is not JUST a turn-based RPG.

[@VegasGoldenJediKnight]

Dharma. Not Alltrades.

[@CC-df3pn]

It hasn't been Dharma since the old localisation which has been phased out. The series as a whole now calls it Alltrades, even the mobile and Switch versions. That is the "modern" (not really modern seeing as it's since 8 so nearly 20 years now) naming convention

[@rendelldraw]

Wasn't it "Daama" and not "Dharma"?

[@veghesther3204]

Dharma was the USA name of the area Dragon quest 7 PS1 only as well as its English name on the Game Boy Color version of DQ3.

[@maj-solidsnake1808]

Don’t agree DQ without toriyama is not DQ. Have to get IA or someone that is able to redo is toriyama like. I just accept for this 3 because it is team asano: but for « main game » (not remake) not négociable

[@mr.j3rs3y]

Absolutely agree here, I think Naoki Ikushima’s artwork works for the HD-2D remakes, but Toriyama’s style DEFINES the series.
