Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake?

Bit early for this being as the game just came out.

I'm about 10 hrs into the game and have made solid headway. The original DW/DQ III is a bonafide JRPG classic- and a perfect game. It's essentially the same game, but with beautiful updated graphics and modern quality of life improvements. Love the monster wrangling addition. Glorious turn based combat and simple, but effective concepts. 10/10.

I give it an I'm too poor right now out of 10. Hopefully I'll play it soon.

It’s a fantastic, classic JRPG. I will say however that I think later entries in the franchise (V, VIII and XI being my favourites) are far superior, and I was probably expecting them to add a bit more to this remake to make it more in line with these more fleshed out entries.

But yes, I do understand and respect the idea of keeping it very faithful to the original. And it sure is a great game, that I prefer any day to more modern JRPG:s.

I'll get back to you after Christmas. Asked for it and Mario and Luigi Brothership

I’m maybe 7 hours in and I’ll give it an 8 on Switch so far. The loading times really are too frequent and slightly too long. Ironically, if they didn’t bring up that dang loading icon every time it wouldn’t be as noticeable for me. But seeing it before and after every battle and every time I go through a door is just death by 1000 cuts. They should have optimized it better.

Definitely 9, easily. Though recent years have given us lots of titles to prove the old school JRPG has a modern presence, DQIII HD Remake is the best example of how the past JRPGs of yesterdecade still have a place and presence in the now. The only reason I didn't give it a full 10 is bc it still just SLIGHTLY has noticeable artifacts from those very early loose writing days when devs began to realize these games could tell actual stories, too. It's been very cleaned and polished, but you can still tell the general dialogue and story comes from that era when those "tropes" didn't even exist as tropes. Definitely worth every penny. NOW DO CHRONO TRIGGER HD REMAKE!!!!

Definitely enjoying it. Playing it in short bursts to savor it. I could easily dedicate 8 hours sessions if I weren't a parent....

Well I think the SFC version is a solid 7 so at least that unless there's something titanicly wrong with the remake, which I don't believe there is. Could be higher but I have to get to it first.

I’d give it a 9 so far

Mmmmm this comment section, makes it really hard for my wallet. Haha. I will wait for Christmas then. First i am busy with Mario Luigi brothership.

If they actually respected the translation it would have a more respectful score in my view. I hope when they give Chrono Trigger this treatment, they will the source material.
