https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ltsk99E-RY Genre: JRPG Release Date: 11/14/24 Platform: Consoles Oh man, I have so many feelings towards this thing. Let's start with the craziest: this thing is a full priced game. $60 for a remake of a 1988 game that's been remade I think three times before! I don't think I can buy this day 1. That's more than I bought the original game for. But it also begs the question of, what is this remake? It's been on ice for two years now. It can't just be some visual remake. Fans with careful eyes have been catching details in the trailer - a Monster Master class, possibly some new abilities (a first for DQ3), and even some new narrative elements. Indeed, this game is being branded as part of the "ERDRICK TRILOGY", and with DQ1&2 coming out next year, it makes you wonder how they're going to square this with the archaic (but great) DQ1. So yeah, what is this thing? Is it DQ's HD2D version of FF7 remake where there's a ton of new stuff? Previews say that it's very faithful, but I'm also skeptical that your big publications can tell the difference between DQ games. It's probably just stuff on the margins but I love the original game and the GBC remake. I'm looking forward to seeing what it is, but not at launch. I can wait. --- xyzzy ... Copied to Clipboard! |
