TA:
"This is the fifth Dragon Quest game I've reviewed in 2014, and by now I'm sure I've hammered in the significance of this series to the JRPG genre, if nothing else. After starting the year with Dragon Quest 8 [$19.99], one of the more recent and certainly the most technologically advanced installments in the series, we took an odd side path to Dragon Quest 4 [$14.99] before heading back to the beginning of the series. I'm a firm believer that Dragon Quest games are like pie in that there's no bad one, but the first two games require a certain understanding of the context in which they were released to fully enjoy them. They're very much formative works of the genre, and as such have all kinds of prickly bits and loose ends hanging off of them. Dragon Quest 3 [$9.99] is where that proviso can be safely removed."
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake news could be coming in the near future, according to series creator Yuji Horii.
Hopefully they don't keep it only switch like they did with dragon quest treasure hunters.
No, it isn't. Switch only unfortunately, unless you count emulators.
With the recent announcement of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, fans are wondering what other classics could benefit from a graphical upgrade.
Square really needs to get on this. Not sure what they are waiting on. That's easy money right there.
Final Fantasy 6 100%. I'd also put Star Ocean 2 in the running. It's surprising we haven't seen an entire FF series boxset.
I'd love to see Star Ocean 2 but, I won't hold my breath. The series has fallen in relevance and doesn't have a particularly notable fan-base.
Hell, they could do a large portion of their retro catalogue, bring a heap of old FF/DQ games back this way with the odd game here and there that don't fall into one of those two franchises.
I'd love a Pokemon game in this style. Honestly I hope this starts a trend, and brings back some of those awesome 2D games from the retro ages from the grave. Imagine all the Mother games remade made in this style!
