As somebody who’s by no means performed a Dragon Quest recreation, seeing Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake final yr confused me just because I did not realize it was a prequel. I usually want to play issues in launch order, however I perceive why Sq. Enix did it that approach round, and why they subsequently introduced a double remake of the primary two video games. The third one launched simply final November, leaving 1 and a pair of with a obscure 2025 launch window. Properly, till at this time, when Square Enix shared that the pair of remakes can be launching October thirtieth.
Whereas the primary couple of Dragon Quests are technically out there on fashionable platforms just like the Nintendo Swap and cellular, you possibly can’t really get them on PC. Which means when the remakes launch it’s going to be the primary time any of us in pc land can play them (formally talking, after all). As talked about I’ve not performed any of them, only a collection I’ve not gotten to but, however neither of them are supposed to be very lengthy (therefore the packaging of them collectively), so this does not appear to be the worst strategy to deal with them.
Do not get me mistaken, I do know this should not be handled because the definitive strategy to play them, I simply additionally do not at all times get together with the tough edges of RPGs. These’ll probably have sanded off mentioned edges, and that is simply high-quality with me, I will depart all that stat min-maxing to all you sickos on the market.
There’s additionally a model of the sport coming aptly titled the Erdrick Trilogy which mixes all three remakes collectively, for those who’ve not picked the third one up but. And for those who personal the total trilogy, you may get a, uh, canine swimsuit to put on in Dragon Quest 1, and a cat swimsuit to put on in Dragon Quest 2. Positive!
