DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D REMAKE REVIEW - Happy Console Gamer

[@otterlydorky]

1&2 HD-2D remake has already been announced (both will be on one cartridge), 3 is published first due to the story line being chronologically 3 first :)

[@flyingpaladin617]

Thanks for the info. I was wondering why they'd release DQ3 first

[@Morgil27]

The collector's edition box also has space for the eventual 1+2 game to be placed in.

[@kikayei]

Since that’s the case, they should’ve add “The Prequel” to the title. Thanks for the info.

[@ShawnLangford]

I was wondering about this. I was going to wait for 1&2 before I played this but not anymore.

[@TheFloodFourm]

3 is published first because it was the one they originally announced 5 years ago

[@Neonmirrorblack]

7:26 For those worried, since this sounds a bit misleading, it's just like in many of the modern DQ games. Party members only do "AI attacks" if you set the option for them to do so. You still have full control over them if you want during battles.

[@killyouwithfire]

I’m getting this for switch, I just hope the graphics look close to these

[@markplott4820]

game goes faster in beginning , when you use AUTO attacks. later as you Level up , its better to Manage your party.

[@sharebear421]

How do we see them in battle?

[@TheBrazilRules]

What pisses me off is that it comes on by default.

[@MattMillerMacLeod]

This is a huge thing - I was considering removing the game from my wish list for a bit there while watching. Thanks for the info.

[@tomsimmons7673]

Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-3D Remake is coming out next year. It was in a Nintendo Direct.

[@Factboy12]

I wonder what they will do for the Dragon Quest 1 hero. I mean, canonically speaking, he has to be a male. He cannot be sexless like they did for the Drag Queen Quest III LGBTQIA2+ remake.

[@matejmaric3346]

@@Factboy12 stop. you are terminally online. go touch grass

[@nicodimus2222]

@@Factboy12 Storytellers are allowed to make a character male if they want to. Or female. Or whatever. It's their story and their decision.

[@Factboy12]

@@nicodimus2222 Of course they are allowed. But, if they are to respect the canon storyline... and if they value RESPECT, the hero of Dragon Quest 1 has to be male. Not female, not trans, not non-man or non-binary. Male.

im gonna wait for them before i play this then

[@finessedgaming1190]

My very first dragon quest game was DQ8 on the PS2. I played it so much and had so much fun exploring fighting monsters and doing the side quests. Ive been hooked on this franchise since then and even going back to play the older games. If you want to play an rpg Dragon Quest is always fun to get into.

[@ihavenonameforyou1]

They did censor dragon quest 8 in the 3ds version. They made red and the monster tamer playable. Censored some outfits and Jessica and a few more things. I do recall they changed the scene where the guy stabs his hand to stop the evil.

[@leila607]

DQ8 was my first intro as well! DQ is by far my favorite series of all time because of that. I wish DQ8 and 7 could be redone for console.

[@nickk3403]

Same DQ8 was my first and got hooked after that

[@DbBoomstick]

Wish they would've did combat the same. 8 was my personal favorite and my first Dragon quest game as well

@DbBoomstick Good times man good times

[@unclebrian8156]

I remember playing dragon warrior 3 on the nes with my grandmother back in the day & she passed away in 2014 so I will be getting this on the ps5 & playing this to honor her memory

[@mattmaddogwheaton4724]

I for one would totally love a Phantasy Star 1 - 4 HD-2D Remake, as Phantasy Star is my favorite JRPG franchise of the big three (Dragon Quest is a close 2nd though).

[@thebeaphomet9485]

Holy Moose! That would be super rad! Especially having 2 and 4 done like that. 4 is my all time favorite Phantasy Star :D

PS 3 urgently needs a remake or do over

[@ichibantsumugi4457]

Please bring more phantasy star games

[@thebeaphomet9485]

@@pjomayo Ya know what, yes it does. A refresh would greatly help. I do not dislike the game, I just have never got too far into it after the first part. The music really bugged me. Going from PS2 to 3 was jarring to me personally

Sega is really missing out by not doing Phantasy Star 1-4 remakes in this style with how popular rpgs are these days.

I did the same thing. After finding the very first game's NES cartridge at a swap meet back in 2007, I then went and bought every other game (except 10, for obvious reasons) and marathon through them all in order in about a year's time. I litterally finished 9 about a month before 11 released on the Switch.

[@AstralFrost]

The music is nothing short of enchanting.

[@gldev8191]

It's thanks to your channel I became a dragon quest fan and already played through most of the series, was missing just this one from the original games and I can't wait to play this

[@barpoe]

I also became a dq fan because of this channel :)

[@keeweetv5521]

[@jmartinez8464]

I haven’t heard anyone call the NES the “regular Nintendo” in a long time! Took me back, Johnny!! 😂

[@Randomark3087]

I always thought my brother and I were the only one's who did. I stand corrected. lol

[@Satiator123]

A guy from my work thought I meant N64 when I said regular Nintendo.

[@Neonmirrorblack]

I've never heard anyone call it that ever. When the SNES arrived it was "Nintendo", "Super Nintendo", N-E-S and S-N-E-S. Also never heard anyone in real life pronounce it as "SNESS". Those people are mutants that should be avoided at all cost.

[@codylester9081]

I couldn’t tell you how much money I would pay Nintendo to contract Square to make HD-2D remakes of Pokémon Gen 1,2, and 3. I love this art style. I have bought almost every game they have made with it

[@AlwaysTiim]

Not only did I discover the Ys series thanks to you, but also the amazing Dragon Quest serie. I'm so hyped for this! 🥰

[@Ty-douken]

Picking this up on Switch as my newborn Son's first game, like how my cousin got me a Superman Comic from the month I was born as my first comic. He's not here yet, but seems like he'll be born on or around Donkey Kong Country's 30th anniversary. Which is crazy because that's my favorite game. For the record I've never played a Dragon Quest game before, so I may wait to go through it together with him once he's older.

[@geordan4951]

My son is due in a couple of weeks and I look forward to playing through this when he’s taking naps lol

[@tonyziporlin4240]

Just beware of some frame drops on the Switch

[@themailman3331]

Even though I didn’t have to watch this video to know exactly what you were gonna say, I had to watch because you’re one of the few people who absolutely adore this series like I do. I absolutely cannot wait for tomorrow.

[@AlohaGamester]

This is a review you know you can trust. John Erdrick Millennium knows his Dragon Quest!

@dandevil5557 No, he hasn't revealed his last name

[@SWOTHDRA]

Ahhhh the luminary

[@bitduelist]

Hopefully my copy comes in today, ever since this game was announced in 2021, my hype has been increasing. I played like 70% of DQ3 on my android in 2022 but after I replaced my phone I couldn't transfer the save so I've been patiently waiting for this

[@JordansoBASED]

I also can see the improvements in HD-2D from Octopath Traveler to this Dragon Quest 3! Things are looking great for the future of HD-2D!

[@Terron29]

Playing it right now on switch and absolutely hooked. Loving every minute. Ive come to realise my fave kinda jrpgs are grindy ones where story takes a bit of a back seat and gameplay is front and centre. Smt 5, octopath, bravely default and this are exactly my jam

[@lothricahmed7322]

In case you didn't know but SE did announce that they'll release DQ I&II HD-2D remake next year which probably will come in one disc or cartridge

[@supersaiyaman11589]

to my knowledge they don't make games on cartridges anymore except maybe nintindo

[@ahmadlothric9817]

@supersaiyaman11589 yes the cartridge part is referring to the Switch version

[@Bevtone]

Finally a review from someone's opinion I know is rooted in experience and passion, these other reviews want to wax lyrical about some bs I just want an actual fans perspective.

[@demounit]

pretty keen for this game. but I've got a pretty massive jrpg backlog at the moment. still working through metaphor. then I've got visions of mana, persona 3, romancing saga, ys x and now dragon quest! such a great year for jrpgs!

Threads of time

[@G_Rad_Ski]

Backlog is too big, I'll get this when 1 and 2 come out and bundle them all together. Also good to see you on Summon Sign.

[@MatthewRennickMusic]

I've been watching your videos since I was a teenager and have a deep appreciation for older games because of you. Keep it going brother!

[@CIoudStriker]

Another little detail I noticed, that wasn't mentioned in the video. While outdoors, characters' hair and capes will sway and billow in the wind, but not indoors.

[@Blitzburgh17]

I don’t think I buy the whole censorship for rating thing. They censored Jessica’s outfits for DQ8 and the game was still rated T on 3DS

[@CC-df3pn]

Yes, still rated teen even with the censorship. The world over ratings boards have gotten extremely strict in the past 15 years. Australia for example, any simulated gambling your game is instantly an 18+. Japan's CERO which we have examples of and devs on record stating, is very strict on specifically female character designs... why Smash 4 is censored in just Japan because Palutena had her hip slightly exposed and her underwear was too bright

[@MikePSN09]

Even in Japan it was censored. Ugggh. I’m buying it but not truly happy with censorship on classic games.

[@manolytovivi3090]

I will buy it.

[@phantombigboss8429]

Blame Cero and ESRB for it. start lobbying to get rid of them.

[@statesminds]

Its cero’s fault not just esrb i keep seeing people blame the west but the west is only reason for the A and B thing which changes nothing. The game still looks great. I think its silly not buying bc you dont like the sprite having undergarments

I plan on getting my copy next week. I remember getting the trilogy on switch at playasia a few years back but I can't wait to play this one. I know they plan on releasing the remake of 1 and 2 next year but I really hope they remake four five and six someday.

This is my first review that I'm watching for the game and I'm just over 3 hours into it.

[@Zerenown]

I love your enthusiasm in all your reviews! Liked and subbed of course 😁

[@NerevarineKing]

I was honestly not the biggest fan of this art style, but this game actually looks really good. I'm a somewhat newer DQ fan who started with 8 about a decade ago.

[@RecordofRadio]

I like the art style but my biggest complaint was starting the game and being behind a giant wall and hunting for the door. For some reason he just would not walk through it and it took a second. I'm also seeing many such other areas where locking the camera and putting your character behind a wall or object can be a little annoying. It's not major. I dunno, I find myself wanting to rotate the world.

[@themailman3331]

⁠@@RecordofRadioIn past Dragon Quest games, you could always rotate the screen whenever you were in towns, which made finding items or paths real easy. For whatever reason, you cannot rotate the screen in this game, which is real frustrating.

[@RecordofRadio]

@@themailman3331 they're trying to make it feel like it's a 2D game, which, I just would prefer more 2D DQ games if that's what they're going for. There's no denying it looks nice, but if the only 2D part are the monsters and character sprites, just make it like DQ7 or something. it feels like that to me, minus the ability to rotate stuff.

[@moofey]

I haven't played much of HD-2D but it's definitely recapturing the magic of my experiences playing the GBC remake that I thoroughly beat back in my late teens. I honestly can't wait to sit down with this game more.

[@supersaiyaman11589]

[@bayoudrummer9855]

I've never played 8 or 9

[@iCABALi]

The difficulty options do seem to be catered to attracting people who don't play any/many jRPGs. I played through the SNES version for the first time earlier this year (I chose to just after I heard about Akira Toriyama's death - alongside finally playing Chrono Trigger finally too), and would say that it was marginally harder than my experience with this on Draconian difficulty so far. To be honest, even though I didn't find that SNES difficulty hard, I'm happy that there's easier difficulties for attracting new players. They did the same with SaGa 2 Remake , and as a non SaGa player, I was happy for that middle difficulty. I'm loving this so far, the only thing I wish was that it had more soundtrack options. A lot of Square Enix remakes/remasters include original/older soundtrack options - and whilst I always like to play with the up to date soundtrack, the option is always appreciated for repeat playthroughs. Can't wait for I&II hopefully next year, and I hope we get IV-VI over the next few years. This is 100% the perfect game to jump in to the series with, and is easily a jRPG to recommend to new jRPG players - the QoL and easier difficulty settings with it having bread and butter mechanics and story with some neat additions make it worthwile.

[@paulohenriquefarias6938]

For anybody on the fence about getting it, or maybe they already bought it and haven’t started it yet. I want to say this, the HD-2D graphics are the most beautiful art style I’ve ever seen. I double dipped and bought it for both the PS5 and Switch. But I’m currently playing it in handheld mode on my OLED Switch. With that said, the HD-2D look on the OLED Switch is just the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s like playing a pop-up book, it’s just so immersive and awesome.

[@Darkkfated]

re: 12:20 This has actually been a thing since around DQ 6 or 7, actually. Possibly even earlier. At some point they decided that the inhabitants of all DQ worlds would worship a deity known simply as "The Goddess" and that not-quite-a-Cross trident symbol has been used for Her churches, holy orders, clergymen, etc. since that time. It wasn't specifically done for this remake, it was a decision made a long while ago (although probably for the same reason: dodging Nintendo of America's at-the-time archaic censorship policies).

Nice! Your DQ reviews are my favorite, man. Day one, physical copy of the game for me. Pretty hyped for the DQ trilogy in HD2D

[@barpoe]

I purchased DQ8 because of your channel back when it was released for the 3DS. I've played thru most since, and can't wait to play through this one again for a fourth time or so 😅

The body type a and b thing makes me really sad because of the original it was a boy or a girl and they were a key mechanic

[@AuspexAO]

It's exactly the same as before.

[@spartacuslagomorph3115]

They did change a females top to make her less attractive. Not the same.​@@AuspexAO

[@supersaiyaman11589]

@@spartacuslagomorph3115 functionally its the same. they had to do that because of the ratings board that rates games. do research don't just blame square enix ask were they aiming for a specific rating are the rating requirements different then they were wene this was originally made. the answer to both questions is yes. if the requirements for ratings change threw the years than they will have to change with them. that is the reason for the so called sensorship of the bodies witch lets be honest is not rally noticeable unless you are looking for it. game play is the important thing too me.

Great review! I can't wait to play the game tomorrow!!

[@redcomet0079]

RIP Akira Toriyama Sensei 🥺🪦🎑

[@roberthornibrook6344]

Yes I am. And cant believe I played this before Johnny did back in the day, my dad rented it back in 1991 cause I recall we rented this before the snes came out August that year. I do recall seeing the Nintendo Power strategy guide for the game that wasn't out yet remember it really hyping me up.

[@simonsayzit]

No one ever talks about that dragon quest came out on the year of the dragon

[@veghesther3204]

That too and Toriyama passed away this year and yes he helped design the Dragon ball/Ball Z/super charcters but not for Dragon Ball GT.

[@johnlawful2272]

​@@veghesther3204i thought we saw ssj4 as a silhouette when goku first went ssj3

[@RyoUrawa777]

​@@veghesther3204 Actually that's a lie Toriyama designed several characters for GT including the ship they use in the Black Star Dragon Ball Saga plus he gave it the name GT

[@koba2348]

​@@veghesther3204nope

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Oh wow!

[@cwmeyer2196]

Yeah, happy console gamer.Thank you so much to review.I think I will be picking up this game soon

[@lukeerikdavis]

The only review that really matters.

[@GundamrussGaming]

Great review as always :) I have my copy coming super excited. Long Live Dragon Quest

[@mattjones1207]

Kim must be so happy right now lolol

[@wingedhideki]

Really excited to pick up my copy tomorrow and play what looks like the definitive version of DQ III

[@ZeroFksGvn]

The other strange change was removing the lips from the troll and adding an extra finger.

[@z00ty]

Yep, made him look like a Simpsons character. There's no reason to change Toriyama's art.

[@ihavenonameforyou1]

​@@z00tythey did alot of it. Female outfits and orc among other things we don't know about yet.

[@Reginmund]

Toriyama is barely laid to rest before the industry starts passing judgement on and altering his work. Not exactly timely or particularly sensitive.

[@TheUltimegaMan]

@@ReginmundThe people with the most skeletons in their closet don’t seem to mind puppeteering the dead.

[@ihavenonameforyou1]

@@Reginmund, it would be more respectful to go to his tombstone and spit on it than they did here. Up next they will make the Sayian race a matriarchal race.
