My God, this is absolutely gorgeous, and there's something so special about all the characters being high fidelity sprites instead of 3d models. And I'm not even a big Dragon Quest fan!

[@shadominx3696]

Um. I think you mean high definition. Fidelity means either: • faithfulness to a person, cause, or belief, demonstrated by continuing loyalty and support. OR • sexual faithfulness to a spouse or partner. It could also mean “the degree of exactness with which something is copied or reproduced.” But that honestly doesn’t make any sense when you’re referring to sprites in a video game…. I highly suggest picking up some actual books. And perhaps a dictionary.

[@jkrunch2166]

It brings a tear to my eye to see how far Dragon Quest in the west has come. It has grown. Mainly thanks to Dragon Quest 11 and hero being in smash. Back then, only a few would know it by name, and fewer would have experienced it. But now its growing, and it will continue to grow.

[@catandrobbyflores]

[@redubd]

Lol you young ones might not be aware, but people have known about DQ for a long time n teh west. Nintendo Power was giving free copies of DQ1 with a subscription, so almost everyone one I knew growing up who had an NES had DQ1 (well Dragon WARRIOR 1) The problem was, for some reason, DQ never caught on here, there was almost no advertising for it here, compared to Final Fantasy, Ultima, Crystalis which was advertised everywhere and constantly talked about in magazine articles. I didnt even know that DQ2 3 and 4 were being released until they showed up on the shelves of the local video rental store.

[@OkaRin1]

Day one! 1+2 also in 2025! Any fan of JRPG should buy it. DQ3 was first chronologically and also very important game in the series, as it implemented many iconic mechanics in the series.

DQ3 is my favorite game of all time. Truly changed my life. I'm so happy to see an update for the remake after all that has happened...

[@pattersong6637]

I think 4 and 5 are better than 3 but that's no shot at 3. It's an incredible game. The first time I played the DS version of 4 (first time I played any version of it) I was literally just breathless that that sort of plot could've existed on the NES (even cleaned up the way the DS did you could see its NES DNA). 3 is a pretty incredible milestone, though. I've always liked it.

[@lanc2776]

​@@pattersong6637I think it's more like 3 has more sentimental value for me personally. It was the first DQ game I played. In terms of objectively, 4 and 5 are probably better. You're right, how they crammed the scenario of 4 into NES blows my mind. I absolutely loved it when I first played it on the DS. 5 is also one of my favorite ones (in the top 5 DQ games imo). The storyline there is heartwrenching, and I loved collecting monsters.

[@jaretco6423]

​@@lanc2776I can agree there. Even though the later DQ games might be better in terms of mechanics & other features it adds, I still love 3 the most and I replayed it more than other DQ games. Maybe it's because it has an perfect length, I prefer the world settings, environments & more engaging adventure in 3 more, the sentimental value and the gameplay that still holds up remarkably well. I love every Dragon Quest games. But I will always come back to 3 more if I wonna feel cozy & enjoy the sentiments there.

You shoulf play these buy start with 11s it’s a much better starting point for new players in this day and age

[@pattersong6637]

Just realize that while Dragon Quest I seems extremely short and primitive in comparison (no matter how nice they make it look) it's one of the most charming and pleasant times ever in more recent versions and I have no doubt this remake will make that even more true. Dragon Quest II, though, is legendary for its absolutely insane difficulty that has been toned down a bit on every remake (the currently available version on Switch is much less painful than the NES and GBC versions were) and I'm sure will be toned down a bit more here but DQ II is no joke.

Hope it comes to PlayStation this year.

[@WolfEatZombies]

It is

[@iamturok3504]

no

[@WhatIsMatter101]

Playstation? The overpriced disappointment of Sony? Yeah sure whatever floats your boat.

[@Retrofun69]

Right in the childhood... I love you Nintendo.

[@cbmatty9262]

LETS GOOOOOO!!!! AND THE WHOLE TRILOGY TOO! They really need to remake the first 6 final fantasy games like this.

[@tyresefinney1985]

So that’s what took so long. It’s. A trilogy.

[@Jenema2]

Nope. DQ3 is releasing this November. DQ1 and DQ2 are a separate package releasing sometime next year.

[@nightwish1453]

@@Jenema2 they probably were working on both for a year back to back after the first footage for 3 and probably decided to do the other 2 later on after some positive reception. there are some locations that do return in each game so they are all linked not just narratively but software, tech etc

[@ZeroShaneBob]

I see complaints about the male & female "change", but I'm more offended by them changing the troll's design. That is Toriyama's original design. Changing it after he died is super disrespectful.

[@Tsiri]

They gotta erase those "black" lips. Seems blatantly racist that they think that in the first place.

[@TheLarkaanimation]

When IGN says the game is a faithful remake, you know its a lie.

[@TheLarkaanimation]

@@Tsiri Like how Jinx from Pokemon used to be black, but changed the design to purple?

[@Jenema2]

The original design was rooted in racist visual stereotypes

When it zoomed out to see the other two heroes, literally goosebumps ✨

[@arslanmalik151]

I was so excited this got announce . But why are you removing gender

[@Unknown_User174]

Square Enix has completely violated Nintendo’s policy again.😠

[@TheLarkaanimation]

@@Unknown_User174 If that were the case, there wouldn't be a Switch version at all. I'm not a CEO, I don't know what's going on there.

@@TheLarkaanimation A Lot of people saying this is due to dei company aka Sweet baby inc. they have been working on square enix games . Every version of dragon quest 3 had the option to pick the hero gender since they Nes .

[@flyingpaladin617]

What happened?

[@TheLarkaanimation]

@@flyingpaladin617 The Dragon Quest 3 Remake not only removed gender, replacing them with Type A and Type B, but also removed all gender variant job names as well.

[@Zargex]

They got sweet baby inc working on this remake. The same people who bash and hate Akira Toriyama. DONT SUPPORT THEM!!

[@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225]

_Frig me!_ this goes beyond executive meddling. It's really starting to feel like destiny itself is keeping my favorite RPG franchise from flourishing in the west! If the next Monsters game that comes out goes back to being Japan exclusive, I'm gonna have to take a life!

[@KainiusTheGreat]

Les GOOOOOOOO! ALL 3 BABY! I am stoked!

[@TheMasterfulEmerld]

They clearly updated a lot of stuff here. Worth the three years wait.

[@Nico-pw8yo]

Still a remaster or remake of dragon Quest 8 would be better. Nothing against this dragon Quest but the 8 Is the "MOST" loved.

[@Unknown_User174]

It’ll still be censored like the 3DS version.😠

[@TheLarkaanimation]

@@Unknown_User174 Could be, but the 3DS censorship was mild compared to the censorships of 2020-2024.

[@Unknown_User174]

@@TheLarkaanimation And that’s why I have the original on the PS2 that’s uncensored. It might not have Red and Morrie as playable characters and cutscenes showing how Dhoulmagus murdered Master Rylus and how Princess Madea first met the hero of Dragon Quest 8, But it’s uncensored and I like it.

[@TheLarkaanimation]

@@Unknown_User174 I have it as well. I just hope my PS2 still works.

[@3slicessenpai]

Me (Dragon Quest newbie) watching the trailer: "Huh, why 3 getting a remake? I guess I must have missed a non-2D HD remake of 1 and 2 somewhere in the past. Probably was for the 3DS---" Nintendo: "SIKE"

[@anthero3746]

Going into the Direct I was hoping to just hear anything about DQIII HD, but this turned out much better than I ever imagined! The first three games all getting remade...I am so unbelievably excited!! My favorite announcement from today's Direct!

[@ghastlynavigator]

I hate this style so much...I love you DQ, Yuji and Akira...rest in piece, we miss you

[@sgsq]

Anyone else kinda prefer the artstyle in the original trailer? The characters look taller in this.

[@sulfuricacidx]

I thought that was just in my head....

[@maj-solidsnake1808]

i prefer this artstyle something was weird in the erdrick artstyle odf the OG

[@Professormegaman]

Totally stoked for this and the 1&2 remakes. Please let there be a PHYSICAL RELEASE for this. I had to import a physical copy of Infinity Strash from Japan. I doubt if I imported this, it would include English language options.

[@kingofall9262]

It's one of my favorite retro games. Can't wait.

[@talicadk]
