I will buy this game soon via its cool collectors edition which also as an acrylic book that stores both Dragon Quest III HD 2D and Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D, which is my main reason I want the collector's edition. And Davidinc, because its releasing 2025, do you think Dragon Quest I&II HD 2D will get Switch 2 ports/versions as well? Because I think that would be amazing to have them with improved and exclusive features for that console. And if you own the Switch version, you could get a free or paid upgrade to the Switch 2 version. I think releasing this version will help with the transition to a new generation. And I have a feeling that Hundred Line will also get a Switch 2 version.
Full voice acting sounds good because the voice acting in Dragon quest games are always so good now I hope they work on the Zenithian trilogy in this style
@@CeliriaRose That's fine to just have important parts voiced and actually the way most games with voice acting are in my experience. I think it will add a lot of flavor and make the characters seem more real which is something that a game from the 8 bit era would benefit from.
Voice acting is nice, I just realised that after playing Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While playing those Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters I didn´t realy give voice acting thought. But if the developer has the time and money, voice acting is nice. Games like Octopath Traveler II and Live A Live had great voice acting too, gives the characters some added personality.
I used to read those in the car on the way home after getting a game as a kid (this was SNES and PS1 era). It was a 30 minute drive home from the nearest mall, and was such a great experience immersing myself into the world of a game I was hyped about. Some real fond memories of those manuals...
I still have my bradygames guidebook for dq8. Loved reading that as a kid. I'd going through the item lists in awe of how powerful I might become if I could get a certain weapon or spell.
One of the details I like is that when characters walk left to right, what they are holding is in the correct hand instead of just taking the same visual and mirror flipping it.
Oh, I always loved that feature. It's been a staple of DQ since the first NES game. I perfectly understand saving cartridge space and time by having ambidextrous sprites, but it was always cool that they went out of their way to do that. It also helped a surprising amount with navigation. It's a shame they didn't keep it for 11's 2d mode...
This is hands down my most anticipated game of this year. Never played the GBC version DQ3 so this will be a fresh experience for me (always wanted to when I was a kid but had Dragon Warriors Monsters for the GBC which was the game that got me into the DQ series)
Great video as always. I love the DQ music. I got DQ heroes and just smiled listening to the old music. My son was watching the reveal and after they finished showing DQ3 and the theme's started he jumped up "I know that song! Dad, dad I know this!" He's 11 and just hearing the music got him jumping with excitement. I can't wait for this to come out. DQ deserves to get a bigger audience here in the west.
Important thing for me is whether Roto’s appearance can change with his equipment. Would be great to see him decked out in the Armour of Light, Shield of the Hero and wielding the Sword of Kings.
This is also my favorite NES game and one of my favorite GBC games, so, yes. I'm SUPER excited for this!! My galpals on my Discord want to play the game together, where on each of our files we're the hero, but the other three join us as companions. And we'll share screenshots of our AUs, trying to do all the story events together. It's gonna be super special awesome!!
I was looking forward to this remake but I'll have to wait for a sale. $60 seems a bit much for an HD-2D remake but they know the big fans will pay it.
god i cant wait for this. Ive got 5 Dragon Quest Platinum trophies already for 11, the two heroes and 2 builders games, cant wait to hunt for the Platinums for the Erdrick trilogy.
I really hope this puts people on to how great this game is. It's perfectly balanced. The progression is perfect. The story isn't a 20 hr indie game but also isn't 120 hrs. Its not complex but not simple either. The class combinations made this so replayable and I cannot wait to see what else they've cooked up for this remake
I suspect Beastmaster will let you "Blue Mage" some monster attacks, or "capture" a monster to use it as a one-time use. I do hope it will let you have them as a 5th teammate. Would be pretty sweet for a Boss fight.
I love love love dragon quest !! Ever since that Christmas in the late 80’s when I saw that yellow box that was opened because my dad already beat the game before Christmas Day!!!! How rude lol ❤❤❤
Very excited for these remakes! Really hope we see them do the same for the Zenithian trilogy and especially for DQ V! It’s a crime that IV, V and VI are stuck on DS still.
Holy moly!!! I can't believe they transformed the old NES game this much, with so many new features! This looks amazing. I never expected voice acting of all things. Seems like they really went all out on this. If they're going to remake the series in story-chronological order, I really wonder how the remake of the original Dragon Quest will turn out. That was the most basic of the basics, barely even a worthwhile game by today's standards. I mean, I loved it at the time, when I was in elementary school and it was my first real JRPG experience. But I struggle to imagine how even the most lavish and decorated remake of that game could justify its existence today. Especially after this DQ3 remake.
Love from Belgium 🇧🇪♥️ not so long before I knew your channel, I bought Dragon Quest 1, 2 and 3 on Switch and I played them this year. Unfortunately, I won’t repay a full price for the 3 and 1 and 2 comings, I’ll save my money for Visions of mana and other games (on the good side, I really liked the 3 games, even if it’s the old versions)
I hope they don't stop at 1,2 and 3. 4, 5, and 6 would be awesome. Plus, it would be a good way for Team Asano to keep making things while they develop more ideas for Octopath or Triangle Strategy, or anything else
And speaking of DQ 1 + 2. 2 Specific! I hope they FURTHER improved on the fixes that was done on the Prince of Cannock (The Green Prince) in the Android/iOS version where his Max Stats were improved ALOT that he wasn't "the Load" and actually was a useful "inbetween" his cousins (He can cast magic to support, allowing the Princess to focus on other things, and having at least a second attacker meant he could usually finish off anything the Prince of Midenhall/Blue Prince didn't finish off or just need another "tap" to do so) frankly maybe change his spells slightly or whatever! I think the Android version of him was decent! Never knew EVEN in the old GBC version why he was hated so much! He sure as hell was USEFUL as a heal slave till the Princess came in and frankly THREE is better then TWO in a game that DOESN'T have shared inventory
DQ3 Is a prequel to 1&2 so story wise, it's probably better to start with 3, you wont be missing out on anything is what i mean if you play them in 3-1-2. Even Hori stated it in the Nintendo direct. It's the beginning of the whole series. And it's so good! Finished the Snes version and it's added content. I thought it was pretty challenging as well, just the right amount for my taste. I hope it stays that way. Assume you haven't already played them ofc :)
@@danielpintogouveia5862 Might just be meaning they don't want to wait too long between playing 3 and then 1/2. Just getting it closer to the others lets him go through all three at once.
This’ll be my first dive into Dragon Quest 3 so I’m ecstatic for it!! I’m also really excited that you’re getting closer to 100k subs, you deserve it 🥰
I just use 1 goof off to create 1 sage, then train a pilgrim and wizard till all spells are learned then switch to the opposite classes. After that, I make 1 a thief and another a merchant.
So excited for this! I will be playing this title for the first time, only having played 8, 9 and 11 in the past. Thanks for your coverage on it, I’ve been checking back in on the channel every day.
I already have the original NES carts and the Asian trilogy of DQ1, 2, and 3 for switch but I’ll buy this too when it comes out because I’ve always been a fan of Dragon Quest.
I'm cautiously optimistic. The game looks gorgeous, but it does look to me like they're dumbing it down a fair bit for modern audiences, given that and all the other new additions, I feel like I should approach this one like a fresh take on the game as opposed to a 'replacement' of sorts for the old versions... But ngl, though DQ3 is my favourite RPG, I'm honestly looking forward more to the DQ1+2 Remakes, cuz like, the GBC version of DQ3 was already nearly perfect, just 8 bit, and I feel like a new translation and a few minor tweaks to the SNES version would have made that into the definitive version, but DQ1 and especially 2 I feel have a lot more room for improvement than DQ3 did, like for example, being able to choose where to fast-travel to, the rest of the towns in Alefgard being added back into DQ2 (I was always disappointed that it was only Tantegel and the Dragonlord's castle), animated enemies during battles, the remember spell, the bag, and well, just better balancing in general...
I just played this game for the first time last summer (after watching David's Dragon Quest tier list video,) and fell in love with it! It's my favorite Dragon Quest and I'm SO excited for this game now!!
Personally I'm glad we have a clear canon name for this Hero, he had been called Arus before, but it was never confirmed it being his canon name, at least I think it never. We'll have to see if it's the same for the Hero in Dragon Quest I, him being Alef as a nod to Alefguard, and the Hero of Dragon Quest II being called Allen.
For future Dragon Quest games after XII, Yuzo Koshiro will replace Koichi Sugiyama while Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru will replace Akira Toriyama. The soundtracks will be synthesized during development as a placeholder, but upon the game’s release, they’ll be replaced with symphonic versions, rendered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra.
Such a huge fan of this series and probably would call it my favorite if it wasn't for FF6 and Chrono Trigger. Each one is such a good classic RPG experience. I remember playing the SNES translated version of this game back in the day and was such a great game. Can't wait to pick this up, I'm so freaking stoked. This'll be just enough to tide me over until XII comes out!
Can’t wait for this. Drives me a bit crazy that the switch version runs 30fps. I know in a turn based rpg that doesn’t matter much but still 60 looks so much better. Guess it’s the steam version for me and I’ll get a steam deck on day so that it’s portable.
Wow I did not now they are implementing full voice acting! What a nice surprise and it makes me even more excited to experience this game again!! And it will be fun to try out the new beast master class! November feels so far away! Thanks again for the informative video David!
Having never played DQ III before, (didn't start the series til DQ8 on PS2) man am I excited! I know this is the entry that founded the job system, too! Now for the hardest question: PS5 for the Trophies, or Switch for the portability (and best controller)
I'm wondering, with as much emphasis they've placed on playing the trilogy in this new order, if they don't have surprises planned for the 1 & 2 collection. Considering how short 1 & 2 can be, unless they've packed each with new stuff, maaaaybe we could get some kind of epic new never before seen epilogue.
DQ5 is my fav, but the Super Famicom version of DQ3 is a masterpiece! It will be hard to top, but I’m ready! Man, which party will I choose this play through!?!? Definitely going hard mode!
I don’t know why I waited until now to subscribe to you, David. You put out great content. I played DQ3 for the first time last year. The super Famicom version. I get why it’s believed. This and DQ4 are my favorite and hold it today. I think they should be regarded on the same level as FF6 and 7.
Games looks good so far and since I've never played a Dragon Quest before 8 I'm excited to get into it. I always wanted to do it, but it always kinda scared me because even I grew up with the Gameboy and Snes I've gotten used to the luxuries of modern aka pointers where to go to, an easily accessible map that tells you where you and stuff like that and the old games didn't always have this. One thing that feels a little weird though is that basically every "retro" rpg that has come out in recent times looks like Octopath Traveler. Not that this is necessarily bad, but as some other games have adapter the over the shoulder perspective from games like RE4 this feels a little ... I don't know, maybe lazy in a "play it safe" kind of way? I don't mean for it to sound so negative, but I can't come up with a better word off the top of my head.
Your pronunciation of the starting town caught me so off-guard I had to look it up, and found out I'd been saying it wrong the entire time! Turns out having mild dyslexia and enjoying RPGs isn't exactly a great combination. This is also the first time I'm hearing of the addition of voice acting, which I'm also just now realizing is an incredibly helpful change! I am so Hype for this game you wouldn't believe it. It happened so early in the direct and nothing else in it even came close to giving me that level of excitement. But the specific reason for my excitement seems pretty niche ^^;
I'll be honest as stoked as I am for a HD2D version of 3. Im really curious about what changes will be made to 1 and 2. I understand and appreciate the idea of playing the games n chronological order. But the games got more complex as the series went on. Going 3-1-2. Is going to feel strange unless there are some additional changes. For example, are going to make the Prince of Cannock useful? Is 1 still going to be 1v1 for all the battles. I know changing that would require an overhaul of the entire game.
I am so stoked for this trilogy to be out over the next year(s). I would love to get the collectors edition, but that isn't in the cards due to the crazy price. But it has some really cool things in it for sure, I have played up to 3. But for some reason, I have never played 4. They look like they have the charm of the original games for me! Its great to be excited to play something again, and it's not far away.
What's your Dragon Quest gameplan? Play III at release of course, but are you gonna replay it again right before I-II releases? Also do you believe they may make an alteration to DQI that will have you play with more than 1 character?
My oldest brother has all those old maps and monster data foldouts which are in plastic and still in mostly good shape. Will be happiest as long as Pachisi is back for the game. Might need to push myself to finish DQ7 and 8 on 3DS before Nov though i doubt it w/ all the other games to keep me distracted.
Thanks for collecting all the info, David! I'm happy there will be a way to get the elevating shoes at the beginning of the journey, but it kind of rubs me the wrong way that it isn't a feature baked into the standard game. Still, all the other aspects should make this a supernal way to experience DQ3! Really happy about the church save points too. :>
This game just became my most anticipated game of 2024. Cause since the announcement in 2021, I was worried they wouldn't be able to produce this game due to constant delays and all that. Wishing and hoping the game will come out. When the release date surfaced, you know I was gone. I was crying and just went nuts. This is the game I just cannot WAIT to purchase on day one and when I take a break from playing it, I'll just put the game down and listen to the DQ 3 music to relax.
I'm stupidly excited for this game and curious on the new stuff in there but also wondering if they kept the Pachisi tracks which if they did this already is gonna be my favorite way to play DQ3, if not it'd be a bummer but I'm still stoked on it and hope it will be the definitive way. But I do really question how will they handle 1+2 cause 3 had some really good features and with 1 & 2 they were very simple at the time so really makes me curious how it will be handled.
Can’t wait for this! I’m playing Octopath Traveler 2 on gamepass right now, and it’s so so good! Voice acting, storytelling, combat system, treasure, music, and environments are all top tier. Definitely will have me yearning for more hd2d when I’m done.
I hope you dont put same expectations from OP2 into DQ 3 remake,considering the combat system in OP2 has more depth than DQ3 games(i am saying this as fan of both series)
Do you believe the first and second game will change? Because paying for a lot only for better art style from the GBC version of DQ I+II would be terrible. While I feel there are ways to make DQ3 even better without changing the story, I don’t know how you can do that for DQI or II without completely changing the story.
Thanks for the link ordered my collectors edition now before it’s like every other one and sells out before I can get to it. Missed the boat on pixel remaster ce not this one.
When you've had time to thoroughly test this out can you please tell us where the new class ranks on your ranking of the jobs? Maybe you can even do a new ranking based solely on this version of the game, I must say that when I played the Switch version the Merchant was not that bad I changed mine into a Thief and now she has pretty high defense.
I am looking forward to playing this game in November, maybe during the Summer break alongside some summer releases that I have not yet purchased. This is now on my list of one of my most wanted games of 2024 alongside the SMT release, Tsukihime, and the Pawapuro 2024-2025. I usually don't buy collector's editions, but for this one I will because of the game storage box that stores dragon quest III and dragon quest I and II. I love those kinds of things in collector's editions and Dragon Quest I and II are one of my anticipated games of 2025 for Nintendo systems alongside the newly announced Hundred Line and Phantom Brave sequel, as well as the rumored Switch 2 ports of Metaphor Refantozio, Persona 3 Reload, and Visions of Mana as well. Oh man, those three games alone make me want to be the Switch 2, despite not being exclusives to those consoles. Plus, I have a feeling that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D remake will also be announced for the Switch 2 as well, given the fact it will be releasing the same year as the Switch 2. If that does happen, then I would rather buy that version instead. If the rumored Switch 2 ports do release, if I & II also get a Switch 2 version, and if the Switch 2 will be confirmed to have a 1080p OLED screen with 4k support by Nintendo (so far the specs of the console announced are only rumors, some even from unreliable sources, and don't assume they are true until stated otherwise,) I would definitely buy the Switch 2 in a heartbeat and would be one of the best years of my life and of the Switch 2. And I also have a feeling that the Phantom Brave sequel will also have a Switch 2 version. Reason they don't mention is because Nintendo hasn't officially unveiled it yet. But it is as likely as I & II to get one. It looks like I have save up and earn as much money as possible this year and I will whatever it takes to do so as I only have enough money to buy 2 games. Also, Davidinc, I know its kind of late and June is almost over, but happy pride month! I'm glad you stayed to your true self and not let people preventing you from being what you want to be. You deserve as much respect as those who are not LGBTQ. You are the best JRPG content creator ever, gay or not. Again, happy pride month!
I think they will link the Monster Master class into some Monster Medal collecting sidequest. Hell, maybe they even make another Monter Town for us to fill up!
I still wonder if this version will expand to 8 party members 4 main, 4 reserve. I could see not to maintain the feel, but I also could see them doing it to help adjust the difficulty for modern audiences.
I ended up getting the Lucky(Elevating) shoes on one of my many play throughs of Dragon Warrior 3. I was so excited...until I realized that getting ONE xp per step wasn't very good when you needed 50k+ to level lol. They'll be a friggin' massive help at the beginning of the game though. Pre-order is a must!
Not really at 1 exp per step their WORTHLESS as soon as the party gains even 1 LV up by the time I got them IN the 3DS remake of DQ7 I had all 5 PERMANENT party members at lv 99 making them even more WORTHLESS. Besides if this remakes EASY mode = a 4x EXP rate then 1 exp PER step is even useless AT LV 1.
JRPGs are putting a serious hurting on my wallet this year...I hadn't given much thought to the Dragon Quest series, but seeing your passion for it does make me wanna play.
I am soo excited for this, it's been my most anticipated game since I first saw it all that time ago. I cannot wait to get my hands on it in November!!!!
Looks interesting, but the $60 pricetag is hard. I'm not saying it's too much, it's just that I got other things I need money for, lol. But it'll go on my wishlist and I bet someone will make a mod that will unlock the preorder stuff so I'm not that worried about it, and even if not... eh. /shrug.

Full voice acting sounds good because the voice acting in Dragon quest games are always so good now I hope they work on the Zenithian trilogy in this style
It’s not full voice acting. It’s partial voice acting. Certain key story characters and side characters will be voiced while most NPCs will not.
Zenithian is 4-6 I'd also like see a 7-9 and the offline version of 10

It's not fully voiced, only important story dialogue.
The fact that you refer to it as a "Metal Babble" and "Book of Satori" establishes your NES cred. 😀
Anyone else miss instruction manuals, not the low effort ones we got during the 360/PS3 era but old school ones that had cool artwork inside.
I used to read those in the car on the way home after getting a game as a kid (this was SNES and PS1 era). It was a 30 minute drive home from the nearest mall, and was such a great experience immersing myself into the world of a game I was hyped about. Some real fond memories of those manuals...

Lol, they probably will! How many times has the original or FF4 been re-released?
Important thing for me is whether Roto’s appearance can change with his equipment. Would be great to see him decked out in the Armour of Light, Shield of the Hero and wielding the Sword of Kings.
The only other thing I'd like to see is your companions having unique dialogue based on their personality. That'd be rad.
This is also my favorite NES game and one of my favorite GBC games, so, yes. I'm SUPER excited for this!!

They played the intro to 11.

Thank you David, for the sharing and support. 🤩

i do hope a mod comes out on where we can see the back sprite of our characters when attacking
You're wonderful, David!!!! Been subbed for about a year now. You can make it to 100k!!! 💪😍😊
Fingers crossed!

I suspect Beastmaster will let you "Blue Mage" some monster attacks, or "capture" a monster to use it as a one-time use. I do hope it will let you have them as a 5th teammate. Would be pretty sweet for a Boss fight.

@@danielpintogouveia5862 That's also why they're releasing it first.

This’ll be my first dive into Dragon Quest 3 so I’m ecstatic for it!! I’m also really excited that you’re getting closer to 100k subs, you deserve it 🥰
I just use 1 goof off to create 1 sage, then train a pilgrim and wizard till all spells are learned then switch to the opposite classes. After that, I make 1 a thief and another a merchant.
The switch versions of the trilogy look like Dragon Quest but from Temu.
That being said I'm SO EXCITED FOR THIS GAME!
So excited for this! I will be playing this title for the first time, only having played 8, 9 and 11 in the past. Thanks for your coverage on it, I’ve been checking back in on the channel every day.
Hope you enjoy it!
I already have the original NES carts and the Asian trilogy of DQ1, 2, and 3 for switch but I’ll buy this too when it comes out because I’ve always been a fan of Dragon Quest.
I'm cautiously optimistic. The game looks gorgeous, but it does look to me like they're dumbing it down a fair bit for modern audiences, given that and all the other new additions, I feel like I should approach this one like a fresh take on the game as opposed to a 'replacement' of sorts for the old versions...
But ngl, though DQ3 is my favourite RPG, I'm honestly looking forward more to the DQ1+2 Remakes, cuz like, the GBC version of DQ3 was already nearly perfect, just 8 bit, and I feel like a new translation and a few minor tweaks to the SNES version would have made that into the definitive version, but DQ1 and especially 2 I feel have a lot more room for improvement than DQ3 did, like for example, being able to choose where to fast-travel to, the rest of the towns in Alefgard being added back into DQ2 (I was always disappointed that it was only Tantegel and the Dragonlord's castle), animated enemies during battles, the remember spell, the bag, and well, just better balancing in general...
I just played this game for the first time last summer (after watching David's Dragon Quest tier list video,) and fell in love with it! It's my favorite Dragon Quest and I'm SO excited for this game now!!
Man it’s a shame I don’t have the Manual and maps for DW3! I still have all that stuff for DW1 and 2 thankfully!
Better have my Pachisi boards and the bonus dungeons.
Personally I'm glad we have a clear canon name for this Hero, he had been called Arus before, but it was never confirmed it being his canon name, at least I think it never.
We'll have to see if it's the same for the Hero in Dragon Quest I, him being Alef as a nod to Alefguard, and the Hero of Dragon Quest II being called Allen.
For future Dragon Quest games after XII, Yuzo Koshiro will replace Koichi Sugiyama while Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru will replace Akira Toriyama. The soundtracks will be synthesized during development as a placeholder, but upon the game’s release, they’ll be replaced with symphonic versions, rendered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra.
Such a huge fan of this series and probably would call it my favorite if it wasn't for FF6 and Chrono Trigger. Each one is such a good classic RPG experience. I remember playing the SNES translated version of this game back in the day and was such a great game. Can't wait to pick this up, I'm so freaking stoked. This'll be just enough to tide me over until XII comes out!
Can’t wait for this. Drives me a bit crazy that the switch version runs 30fps. I know in a turn based rpg that doesn’t matter much but still 60 looks so much better. Guess it’s the steam version for me and I’ll get a steam deck on day so that it’s portable.
David's shirt in the intro is so freaking cool!!
Wow I did not now they are implementing full voice acting! What a nice surprise and it makes me even more excited to experience this game again!! And it will be fun to try out the new beast master class! November feels so far away! Thanks again for the informative video David!
Now if this was DQ4, my favorite, I'd be trying my darndest to get the collector's edition!
i want to pre order this on physical!!!! DQ games are one of my favorite jrpgs!!!
Having never played DQ III before, (didn't start the series til DQ8 on PS2) man am I excited! I know this is the entry that founded the job system, too!
Now for the hardest question: PS5 for the Trophies, or Switch for the portability (and best controller)
I'm wondering, with as much emphasis they've placed on playing the trilogy in this new order, if they don't have surprises planned for the 1 & 2 collection. Considering how short 1 & 2 can be, unless they've packed each with new stuff, maaaaybe we could get some kind of epic new never before seen epilogue.
Hi David! Super excited to get HD2D versions of DQ 1,2,3. Played 8 and 11, but I am very much wanting to play the other DQ games. Have a blessed day!
DQ5 is my fav, but the Super Famicom version of DQ3 is a masterpiece! It will be hard to top, but I’m ready!
Man, which party will I choose this play through!?!?
Definitely going hard mode!
I don’t know why I waited until now to subscribe to you, David. You put out great content. I played DQ3 for the first time last year. The super Famicom version. I get why it’s believed. This and DQ4 are my favorite and hold it today. I think they should be regarded on the same level as FF6 and 7.
Thank you for the good vibes videos, man.
My pleasure!!
Games looks good so far and since I've never played a Dragon Quest before 8 I'm excited to get into it. I always wanted to do it, but it always kinda scared me because even I grew up with the Gameboy and Snes I've gotten used to the luxuries of modern aka pointers where to go to, an easily accessible map that tells you where you and stuff like that and the old games didn't always have this.
One thing that feels a little weird though is that basically every "retro" rpg that has come out in recent times looks like Octopath Traveler. Not that this is necessarily bad, but as some other games have adapter the over the shoulder perspective from games like RE4 this feels a little ... I don't know, maybe lazy in a "play it safe" kind of way? I don't mean for it to sound so negative, but I can't come up with a better word off the top of my head.
Your pronunciation of the starting town caught me so off-guard I had to look it up, and found out I'd been saying it wrong the entire time!
Turns out having mild dyslexia and enjoying RPGs isn't exactly a great combination.
This is also the first time I'm hearing of the addition of voice acting, which I'm also just now realizing is an incredibly helpful change!
I am so Hype for this game you wouldn't believe it. It happened so early in the direct and nothing else in it even came close to giving me that level of excitement. But the specific reason for my excitement seems pretty niche ^^;
I'll be honest as stoked as I am for a HD2D version of 3. Im really curious about what changes will be made to 1 and 2. I understand and appreciate the idea of playing the games n chronological order. But the games got more complex as the series went on. Going 3-1-2. Is going to feel strange unless there are some additional changes. For example, are going to make the Prince of Cannock useful? Is 1 still going to be 1v1 for all the battles. I know changing that would require an overhaul of the entire game.
I’ve never fucked with a Dragon Quest game, but this looks pretty crispy. I’m down to give it a shot.
I am so stoked for this trilogy to be out over the next year(s). I would love to get the collectors edition, but that isn't in the cards due to the crazy price. But it has some really cool things in it for sure, I have played up to 3. But for some reason, I have never played 4. They look like they have the charm of the original games for me! Its great to be excited to play something again, and it's not far away.
Beyond them cleaning up the story a bit, they did note they are adding scenarios. Any thoughts on that?
Just a slight correction. Partial voice acting not full. Main story type characters and some side characters will be voiced but general NPCs will not.
that makes sense too me voice acting the story line elements and not npcs.
as long as the change isn't censorship
Not only that but it also includes modern politics now.
@@Jenema2 what do you mean modern politics in the remake?
What's your Dragon Quest gameplan? Play III at release of course, but are you gonna replay it again right before I-II releases? Also do you believe they may make an alteration to DQI that will have you play with more than 1 character?
I am super excited for this. Never played 1-3!

My oldest brother has all those old maps and monster data foldouts which are in plastic and still in mostly good shape. Will be happiest as long as Pachisi is back for the game. Might need to push myself to finish DQ7 and 8 on 3DS before Nov though i doubt it w/ all the other games to keep me distracted.
I was so happy when the trailer revealed I and II are also getting remade. Dragon Quest II is my favorite Dragon Quest game.
Thanks for collecting all the info, David! I'm happy there will be a way to get the elevating shoes at the beginning of the journey, but it kind of rubs me the wrong way that it isn't a feature baked into the standard game. Still, all the other aspects should make this a supernal way to experience DQ3! Really happy about the church save points too. :>
They need to make it so cat suit can be dlc for people who want to get it early so we can get the normal version
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get my hands on the collectors edition. I wonder if there will be a DLC add-on if you get the standard edition.
All I know is that I’m taking a week off work when this comes out. Maybe even up through Thanksgiving 😂
I hope enemies are not random encounters but I doubt, I don't see enemies on screen in the world map and in dungeons based on the videos shown.
Been contemplating about playing the previous "remakes" on switch but i think now these are the must play versions i cannot wait!
This game just became my most anticipated game of 2024. Cause since the announcement in 2021, I was worried they wouldn't be able to produce this game due to constant delays and all that. Wishing and hoping the game will come out. When the release date surfaced, you know I was gone. I was crying and just went nuts. This is the game I just cannot WAIT to purchase on day one and when I take a break from playing it, I'll just put the game down and listen to the DQ 3 music to relax.
I'm stupidly excited for this game and curious on the new stuff in there but also wondering if they kept the Pachisi tracks which if they did this already is gonna be my favorite way to play DQ3, if not it'd be a bummer but I'm still stoked on it and hope it will be the definitive way. But I do really question how will they handle 1+2 cause 3 had some really good features and with 1 & 2 they were very simple at the time so really makes me curious how it will be handled.
Can’t wait for this! I’m playing Octopath Traveler 2 on gamepass right now, and it’s so so good! Voice acting, storytelling, combat system, treasure, music, and environments are all top tier. Definitely will have me yearning for more hd2d when I’m done.
I hope you dont put same expectations from OP2 into DQ 3 remake,considering the combat system in OP2 has more depth than DQ3 games(i am saying this as fan of both series)
@@Zero_Tester one game is 35 years older than the other so I definitely am not doing that lol. The last sentence I wrote is the key part of that
Do you believe the first and second game will change? Because paying for a lot only for better art style from the GBC version of DQ I+II would be terrible. While I feel there are ways to make DQ3 even better without changing the story, I don’t know how you can do that for DQI or II without completely changing the story.
I'd like to see Final Fantasy VI in this style only when you fight enemies it looks like Final Fantasy VII-X style graphics.
I mean, potentially getting a book right off the bat to become a Sage is good and all, but what about one to become a Pattycake Princess?
Thanks for the link ordered my collectors edition now before it’s like every other one and sells out before I can get to it. Missed the boat on pixel remaster ce not this one.
When you've had time to thoroughly test this out can you please tell us where the new class ranks on your ranking of the jobs? Maybe you can even do a new ranking based solely on this version of the game, I must say that when I played the Switch version the Merchant was not that bad I changed mine into a Thief and now she has pretty high defense.
That’s the plan!
@@davidvinc Awesome. I am pre-ordering this because I want Square Enix to remake Dragon Quest IV-VII in this style.
Hey David, do you think they'll remake the Zenithia trilogy (IV, V, VI) as well?
If i didn't already have a Switch, this would be a system seller for me!
Glad we still have a female main character option and male and female versions of every class.
Beastmaster may end like the Bravely Default 2 version. Capturing monsters to use for special attacks and the more beasts the higher stats gained.
Great video. Was hoping they would release it for PS4, but oh well. Maybe they might do that later.
I am looking forward to playing this game in November, maybe during the Summer break alongside some summer releases that I have not yet purchased. This is now on my list of one of my most wanted games of 2024 alongside the SMT release, Tsukihime, and the Pawapuro 2024-2025. I usually don't buy collector's editions, but for this one I will because of the game storage box that stores dragon quest III and dragon quest I and II. I love those kinds of things in collector's editions and Dragon Quest I and II are one of my anticipated games of 2025 for Nintendo systems alongside the newly announced Hundred Line and Phantom Brave sequel, as well as the rumored Switch 2 ports of Metaphor Refantozio, Persona 3 Reload, and Visions of Mana as well. Oh man, those three games alone make me want to be the Switch 2, despite not being exclusives to those consoles. Plus, I have a feeling that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D remake will also be announced for the Switch 2 as well, given the fact it will be releasing the same year as the Switch 2. If that does happen, then I would rather buy that version instead. If the rumored Switch 2 ports do release, if I & II also get a Switch 2 version, and if the Switch 2 will be confirmed to have a 1080p OLED screen with 4k support by Nintendo (so far the specs of the console announced are only rumors, some even from unreliable sources, and don't assume they are true until stated otherwise,) I would definitely buy the Switch 2 in a heartbeat and would be one of the best years of my life and of the Switch 2. And I also have a feeling that the Phantom Brave sequel will also have a Switch 2 version. Reason they don't mention is because Nintendo hasn't officially unveiled it yet. But it is as likely as I & II to get one. It looks like I have save up and earn as much money as possible this year and I will whatever it takes to do so as I only have enough money to buy 2 games. Also, Davidinc, I know its kind of late and June is almost over, but happy pride month! I'm glad you stayed to your true self and not let people preventing you from being what you want to be. You deserve as much respect as those who are not LGBTQ. You are the best JRPG content creator ever, gay or not. Again, happy pride month!
Thanks so much and happy pride to you too!!
@@davidvinc Thank you for so much as well, even though I'm not gay (or part of the LGBTQ at all) and I am straight, but thanks anyways.
I think they will link the Monster Master class into some Monster Medal collecting sidequest. Hell, maybe they even make another Monter Town for us to fill up!
I still wonder if this version will expand to 8 party members 4 main, 4 reserve. I could see not to maintain the feel, but I also could see them doing it to help adjust the difficulty for modern audiences.
Leading the algorythmn gods here with my comment. May Rubiss and The Almighty make your channel flourish!
I ended up getting the Lucky(Elevating) shoes on one of my many play throughs of Dragon Warrior 3. I was so excited...until I realized that getting ONE xp per step wasn't very good when you needed 50k+ to level lol. They'll be a friggin' massive help at the beginning of the game though. Pre-order is a must!
Not really at 1 exp per step their WORTHLESS as soon as the party gains even 1 LV up by the time I got them IN the 3DS remake of DQ7 I had all 5 PERMANENT party members at lv 99 making them even more WORTHLESS.
Besides if this remakes EASY mode = a 4x EXP rate then 1 exp PER step is even useless AT LV 1.
JRPGs are putting a serious hurting on my wallet this year...I hadn't given much thought to the Dragon Quest series, but seeing your passion for it does make me wanna play.
I am soo excited for this, it's been my most anticipated game since I first saw it all that time ago. I cannot wait to get my hands on it in November!!!!
Considering how many Remakes its gotten, is it fair to call Dragon Quest/Warrior 3 the Doom of the JRPG genre?
The thing I want to see the most is that the game includes more abilitites for non caster classes, like in later games.
A chrono trigger hd2d remake would be cool but square enix it seems
Hate money
I never got to play these so this will be a new experience for me
Looks interesting, but the $60 pricetag is hard. I'm not saying it's too much, it's just that I got other things I need money for, lol. But it'll go on my wishlist and I bet someone will make a mod that will unlock the preorder stuff so I'm not that worried about it, and even if not... eh. /shrug.
