Saving was actually introduced to the series in the Famicom version of 3. Only 1 and 2 mandated the use of passwords

Not surprised, whatever source I used for the NES version had a few things wrong. Gotta triple check in the future apparently.

And the Game Boy Color version had a second bonus dungeon in the form of the Ice Cave, which had monsters such as Hardy Hands, EvilClouds, GrayBears, Blue Dragons, Dread Dragons, Pandora’s Boxes, and IronNites, in addition to Monster Medals. Not to mention, the SNES remake had new monsters in the form of Great Keepers, Phoenixes, Terror Trolls, Abracadabrers, and others like Metal Chimeras.

I'm thinking that if I play on the PS5 on graphics mode it should still perform fine since it doesn't seem like it should be the most demanding game. I'm honestly not even sure why there are two different modes but maybe they just have those two modes for PS5 even though they don't need them and those two modes are mainly for the switch version

[@GameClouds]

They've definitely upped their game (literally) in terms of graphics. If you looked at the older trailer in my video towards the start compared to the newer ones towards the end there's a big difference. But yeah, it still doesn't seem like it should need two different modes. It could just be that when the game is in 4k it pushes the PS5 pretty hard. So performance mode might use some upscaling. Hard to say. Guess we'll find out!

I’m getting ps5 version too. There won’t be any graphical or FPS issues.

[@1DangerMouse1]

Any spoilers in this video?

[@TeeDee3120]

There’s no story-related information here really, just features.

[@1DangerMouse1]

​@@TeeDee3120great thanks!

When you talk about the NES version, you say there's no day/night cycle and that it was introduced in the SFC version. This is false. I played the NES version a lot when I was young and I played it again recently while waiting for the remake and I know for a fact day changes to night while you walk on the world map. Pretty sure DW3 was the first game in the series to have this cycle too. There's even an item in the game to make it night and a spell to switch between the two. You're not the first one I hear say this either, I'm not sure who started spreading this but yea, it's not true.

[@GameClouds]

Hmm, thanks for letting me know. Probably an article somewhere that said it. I never fully played through the NES version so I wouldn't have known.

[@shawngroves5209]

yeah no worries, but for sure NES had day/night :)

[@makubexnas4484]

The difference in the remake is it got censored and DEIfied. Hard pass.

[@xyro77]

You clearly don’t know you DQ history. It’s been “censored” in the past several times. Cry more
