How the HD-2D Remake of Dragon Quest III Can Capture the Spirit of the Original Release

[@ceruleanskiesTM]

I think I called Alltrades Abbey "Alltrades Alley." Well, Acktually has now been disabled from this video (Alltrades Alley kinda goes hard for a beat-em-up title, though, NGL)

The conversation about the "definite versions" of games is really interesting. Sometimes I lose perspective and forget not everyone like me goes into goblin research mode and usually just grabs the newest one.

[@ceruleanskiesTM]

@prettycody I feel that; usually what I have to say about the newest version of a game is that "it's the best to actually play." I do a sily amount of research too-Big Version Guy (TM) here

This is really the SMB3 of JRPGs. It perfects everything that was foundational for the genre. Every game after this is in direct comunion with this game one way or another. This is the essential meat and potatoes experience.

[@ceruleanskiesTM]

absolutely! clapping for this comment, hell yeah

[@TheMikerocks85]

This is a really well done video and you've some how gotten me more hyped for one of my most anticipated games ever. Dragon Quest 3 is an all timer.

[@ceruleanskiesTM]

@@TheMikerocks85 that's SO awesome to hear! Thanks for the kind words-hope you've got a rad party planned for the start of the game 🤙

Bros, Joie fans are EATING GOOD TODAY. Side Note: I love "Magikarps" in video games. The Jester classing into Sage is exactly what i need in my JRPGs.

[@ceruleanskiesTM]

@@Treekyboi yoooo same. But that Jester is WAYY too caked to be an ugly duckling type smdh

Some of my happiest memories as a child were playing DQ games at my parents house. Happy to see you continuing to make content.

[@ceruleanskiesTM]

@@thomaszdrei helllll yeah Miss you a lot, bud

[@Belkerlos]

Excellently created video and great commentary, sir. Love the background music, too. Also, I kinda love the HD-2D style 🤣

[@rmer1212]

idk why but Jon is giving me skelly blacksmith in the catacombs of DS 1 vibes with his "I have this and you don't" audio. Love the video man!

[@ceruleanskiesTM]

@@rmer1212 LMAOOO I totally see it (it's obvious, but I had to dub audio over the video) Thanks man! You're in this video a lot!

[@CalixerGC]

Wow, Joie! This video is really good and that's coming from someone who has only ever dabbled in this series. Although I have not much experience with the DQ games, I appreciate your viewpoints on "modernising" classics. Ys being a great example, in my opinion. Honestly, watching this video has peaked my curiosity so I'll definitely check out this remake when I can! Also, you have a knack for this kinda content. I'm hoping to see more soon! :)

[@ceruleanskiesTM]

@CalixerGC Cal, you're the best-thank you so much, brother. God, I have so much to say about Ys in that respect. Maybe that's next, but I still haven't finished X 😕

[@CalixerGC]

@@ceruleanskiesTM I still haven't got around to X myself... so many games auughhh!! Look forward to the inevitable Ys yappathon tho ;)

[@WoodmanFLG]
