Welcome back everyone, today we're talking about the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake that got announced at the 35th anniversary event last month and why I think you should be excited regardless of whether you're new to the franchise or not. This game looks amazing in every way and I am so excited! Hope you enjoy!

[@Silent_Fool]

It’s still mind blowing that this is what DQIII Remake looks like.

[@markplott4820]

I would have been fine with just the Super FamiCom remake of DQ III. in Japan they released DQ I - III on one Disc on the Wii .

DRAGON QUEST III HD 2D > FINAL FANTASY 7 REMAKE

[@Sunglare1]

This is how you do a proper remake.

[@joshua7426]

Especially considering it got more love than their baby (FF series) , I'd be happy with a smrpg and Chrono trigger remake like this

[@Swampert444]

One of the best RPGs and games ever man, and the most influential RPG ever too. It deserves it.

[@human5435]

For those people who are dissapointed with this style and wanted a full scale remake, I cant say I do not understand them as dq 3, remade to look like 11 would be gourgeous. However this HD 2D style is still amazing and I believe this game can make the series more likeable seeing how more and more people are getting interested with the series lately.

[@sn00k3_9]

I prefer that they kept it 2D. I dont like that dq11 is 3D because its not as if there is more freedom with the amount of invisible walls

[@human5435]

@@sn00k3_9 Thats true, and 2D games does have more interesting puzzles/dungeons than the 3D ones so I think the HD 2D style would most likely fit better with dq 3.

It's hard to be mad when it looks so gorgeous. It's pretty much the ideal style for a Dragon Quest game

[@larrote6467]

the sprites are very blurry

[@Swampert444]

I expect a 3D Remake for DQ 3 down the line anyway still, because of its insane influence and its so popular. DQ 3 gets multiple remakes like other games all the time. Just like Pokemon Red, or FF games.

@@markplott4820 yes!!!

[@Swampert444]

Yeah me too, but DQ I and II will be remade first they said. Which is a good thing since 1-3 are a trilogy, so them all made in this style first is a a good decision for newcomers long term.

[@seacliff217]

@@Swampert444 Hopefully they bundle I and II together as a single title like they did on the Super Famicom. Both are great and massively influential games, but I don't believe either could stand on their own.

[@MayHugger]

@@markplott4820 I.....disagree. It’s engine made it so enemies would just spawn on top of you and majority of enemies so large you had to fight them, given how tiny and boxed in the dungeons were, which was often unreasonable with how big they should have been. Got annoying real quick for me.

[@eastcoasttone3952]

I'm excited at the idea of playing DQ 3 with a fully orchestrated soundtrack

[@Morgil27]

Despite other problems, the Switch and phone ports do use the orchestrated soundtrack.

[@ndep93]

Hori said if DQ 3 HD-2D remake does well, they'd go back and give DQ 1 and 2 the same treatment...I hope they give 4, 5 and 6 the same treatment as well! And bring 7, 8 and 9 over as well! Get the whole series on the Switch!

[@mysticramen4126]

I honestly miss the enemy animations back from DQ3 on the SFC, so I'm really excited for the HD-2D Remake. I also agree with the point you made about the detail, most notably with the hero holding the lamp. I hope we can see this again with DQ1 & 2!

[@eleven9286]

Same! Played the port that's on Switch. Will definitely be playing again and again and again in HD2D!

[@Swampert444]

DQ 3 is one of the greatest RPGs and games ever made, so glad the Goat and most influential RPG is getting a remake. And paving the way for modern RPG remakes once again, just like back. Truly amazing stuff, love it.

[@christianlopez707]

Really looking forward to see how they handle the Ortega battle. It would also be awesome if they could incorporate a party talk where the dialogue changes depending on what personality the party members have.

[@lordnul1708]

Speaking of, I remember that one of the guards in the Aliahan theone room would comment on your personality early in the GBC version (not sure about the others). If you're playing a female protag with the "lewd/vamp/sexy (depending on translation)" personality, he would even, quite literally, tell you to "control your urges" in front of the king. I do hope there's more moments like that in the HD2D remake.

[@lordnul1708]

Random fact: the GBC version is currently the only one where Ortega's Helmet protects against certain status effects. Edit: double checked after replies, and specifically it protected against sleep and surround/dazzle, with some sources also claiming it gave 50% resistance to sap although I've only seen a handful of guides reference the third one.

[@ignasia7230]

[@ignasia7230]

@@paperluigi6132 No, it's just not stated outright in the game. Unknown until hacked, but not because it's a spoiler, but because DQ has a lot of hidden functions and features it never used to mention in the past. DQ8 was the first game to mention what every piece of equipment does, DQ11 the first to give absolute specifics.

I mean, sure. But I would also love a remake of Chrono Trigger that looks like dragon quest 11.

[@davidzijp]

@@pattyofurniture694 I'm not sure if that works for Chrono trigger. One, it's an old pixelated art style with a lot of charm. Second, people who played the original wants the game to look the same but at the same time better like the 2D art style.

[@lordnul1708]

Yesss... The GBA version's content really got the short end of the stick when it came to porting. The Pachisi (tnt) boards, the monster medals... And the GBA version is the only one that lets Ortega's helmet give status protection.

[@Swampert444]

Finally giving respect to the GOAT!!!! I can't wait for this masterpiece to come out, I know this is a overdone thing but just take my money Square!! Now people will get to see how great DQ III is over here just like Japan knows already and they'll finally put it up there as one of the best JRPGs ever made right up there with Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI, a game that influenced those games both. My favorite Dragon Quest game ever is getting the love and attention it finally deserves through all these years. I couldn't be happier.

[@JD-ve6kn]

this is my favourite videogame of all time. i remember getting the GBC remake as a kid, i got as far as the Dharma Temple. i was young and mistakenly thought the game was similar to the more kiddie Dragon Quest Monsters 2. t was several years later when i picked it up again and beat it in its finality. i still play it through every couple years. it's a masterpiece. and that soundtrack!

[@jacoblucas7414]

I'm really exited for this new remake of III, especially after recording a playthrough of III from switch. I actually like the switch version with its smoothed monster sprites. In my playthrough i tried to reinforce the story structure with my own voiced cutscenes to match those in VIII and XI. They also provide character development for my whole team. When i saw this remake reveal i was like: Well..... I'm doing it again! As soon as i get the game, i'll record its playthrough on my channel. What i want to see is all the added content missing from the mobile/switch version. I also want abilities to be added. They can vary by the class played. For example Priests can get Pearly Gates, Mages and Sages can use Magic Burst, Martial Artists get Multifists and Knuckle Sandwich and the Hero of course will get Gigaslash.

My hope for the remake is that alot of the Story segments get more presentation and possible voice acting (if possible) so as a player i can immerse myself in the world more and feel a deeper connection with the main character as they go on their journey. I'd also like some optional party chat during INNs like in Secret of Mana remake. This way the extra party members can feel more like people then just tools to switch out now and then. This is just me when it comes to the Presentation and story. I just beat the switch port like a few days ago and while I had fun, it's mainly the presentation i'd like to see an improvement on.

[@jabariwiththebois5765]

I´m so so excited about this!!! Honestly, the only things I really want are the beautiful orchestral soundtrack and the bonus content from the GBC version, which I didn´t get to play with since I played the SFC version of the game. If I get those two things I am satisfied!! AAAH THE HYPE!!!

[@bongchoof]

I am excited for new content. More classes and Pachisi boards. Even more bonus dungeons. A big thing that would be amazing is the Draconian settings from Dragon Quest 11 being in the Dragon Quest series moving forward. That would be amazing. Being able to play Dragon Quest 3 with 'Stronger Monsters' or being able to 'Only have 5 total player characters created,' or 'You cannot change a character's class at Alltrades Abbey.' Combining something like those 3 would be a completely different way to play the game. Or after beating the game and doing post game and all the of the sidequests, maybe you could unlock the ability to play Dragon Quest 1 and 2. So you beat 3 and unlock 1 then beat 1 and unlock 2. 3 is a prequel so it is within the realm of reality, though I know it is extremely unlikely. But that would be incredible post-game content. The ability to play the entire trilogy with new balancing and these beautiful visuals and remastered audio. Also, things like more equipment with more interesting and varied affects like %-based elemental damage reduction, strength or wisdom bonuses. Status ailment prevention, accessories better than personality altering ones. But most importantly, big things like Magical Might and Mending, to let spell casters keep up and giving physical classes skills, instead of just the 'attack command.' So, the Warrior could have things like the Spears skills like: Mercurial Thrust, Multithrust, Clean Sweep, Thunder Thrust and Lightning Thrust. Another class could have: Flame Slash, Lightning Blade, Vacuum Slash, Kacrackle Slash and the like to hit elemental weakness. Or another class could have things like: Miracle Slash, Falcon Slash, Dragon Slash, Metal Cut. And I could go on and on. It's a HUGE shame that this game might have been significantly delayed. I want to play it so bad. I do hope it comes out this year. It already super sucks we aren't getting Dragon Quest 10 Offline Edition. I hope the developers stay safe and healthy.

DQ3 was actually my first experience into the franchise, and rather recently. I saw the trailer for hero on Smash and thought "Why have I never picked up a DQ game?"

Thanks for pointing out that this should be a better experience than on the phone, I'm now looking forward to it even more.

[@VegasGoldenJediKnight]

kinda wish it was more 3D, but oh well. i also hope they keep the monster medal system from the GBC version. made it a bit of a grind, but it gave you something to do when leveling up other classes. i could do without the pachisi boards... unless there's a save state ability. wasted hours trying to play f'n pachisi. i imagine it'll be out before XII, but since the video only shows events up until you break the wall east of aliahan, i sadly don't think it's close to being release yet.

I'm one of the few that would've loved seeing 3 in the style of 11. I'm sure they went for this style for 2 things. A sense of "purity" And to set it (further?) apart from every other jrpg today. Still, this and 10 Offline are the ones in most hyped about from the presentation. My only nitpick for this style is that I was hoping characters would attack Golden Sun style, but instead camera goes into 1st person.

I just hope we get this game on more than just the Switch, everybody should be able to experience the definitive version of this game. You are correct, there is no true definitive port of DQ3, the SNES version looks the best, has monster animations, a bonus dungeon, and its pacing is at its best as well; the GBC remake has everything that the SNES version has, along with monster metals, and a second bonus dungeon, but it has far worse graphics, worse sounds quality, no monster animations, and it's pacing feels worse to me. This version will look the best, sound to best, and probably have the most content, or at least match the content of the GBC release.

If they added JUST the SNES post game dungeon as well as the GBC 2nd post game dungeon I'd be delighted.. Also Pachisi

Finally we are getting a legit remake. I enjoy DQ3, but I don’t share the same feelings as a lot of people for it. The plot is interesting, but too shallow. When you have 4 characters in a party and no one has a personality, you need other characters to take the spotlight. I dont remember a single character from DQ3 besides you know ur parents which u see like twice and the 2 main bosses. I hope they bring more life into this version.

I think its one of the best games ever made but to each their own, hopefully the new remake gives it more life to you.

nah you’re lying, this is literally a dream come true might cry now we need a dq5 remake

The other game I really want in that style is Romancing SaGa. It would fit so well.
