Dragon Quest 3 HD2D Remake is nearly here, and while not everyone is happy about the Collector's Edition offerings, there's no denying the hype surrounding the revival of one of gaming's seminal JRPGs. With the launch date rapidly approaching, a slew of information and gameplay has been revealed. In short, it's glorious.
That said, we've sifted through all the available information to highlight some of the most noteworthy aspects and changes, including the game's combat, voice cast and story elements, among other updates. So, with that in mind, let's dive in.
First and foremost, the game will be adopting the HD2D style, which has been most commonly associated with Octopath Traveler. As Square Enix notes, and as translated by Gematsu, "pixel sprites blend seamlessly with 3D backgrounds, and (are) brought to life with sumptuously detailed video effects for a contemporary visual experience that’s reminiscent of classic gaming." In other words, it's a modern take on a classic art style.
I've been playing adventure RPG games since childhood, and VIsions of Mana was fresh enough to draw me in but classic enough to feel intuitive.
Speaking of modernization, the remake will feature added scenes and story...
