Square Enix Outlines Streaming Guidelines For Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

Really Square Enix? The game is over 30 years old. I think the spoilers are already out there on various wikis and other fan sites.

This game is like. Super old technically. I mean, sure there are people like me who don’t know the plot, but still. Meh, doesn’t matter to me. I won’t be getting it, nor do I like streams. Still find it silly considering it’s a remake…Unless there’s some brand new story content or something.

Nope. Not listening

It can certainly seem redundant to limit streaming spoilers for a decades-old story reported in details on wikis and wikias, although this very notion makes it seem every bit as pointless to stream as well.😅 The overhauled visuals have already been showcased, and the "censored" outfits should be too woke for most YouTubers anyway.😜 Then again, there have been hints at a "surprise" for those playing the remade Loto/Erdrick trilogy chronologically; perhaps there are some new elements tying into that.

@Deviant-Dork enjoy your ban from streaming I guess?

And like usual when companies put out guidelines like this it will be completely ignored.

One one hand, this game looks really cool, on the other hand, they are riding a giant bird, just sitti g there on its back, one character even hanging on the bird's talon. Disbelief no longer suspended.

Dumb hill to die on? Yes.

What is there to spoil? The game is 30 years old and Dragon Quest games don’t exactly have massively interesting narratives that are worth spoiling in the first place anyways.

Spoilers for what!? Lol DQIII doesn't really have a story so much as it has a series of mini scenarios from town to town. I guess there's a bit of a surprise like 70% through the game but new players aren't gonna have any context for that because you're releasing the third game before the first.
Idk I guess they're talking about the new stuff they're adding, otherwise putting a spoiler ban on DQIII is just plain nonsense.

UGH! These people and their rules. It's BS! You voluntarily want people to NOT promote your game for you, what is wrong with you? If I gotta follow those rules or else my channel gets deleted or summat, you can bet I'm not gonna stream it!

Okay, sure. Whatever you say, Square-Enix... Where was this energy when FFVII (not remake) spoilers were everywhere?

I mean...they did say please. So we're all gonna be nice and comply right?

No spoiler? But this is the same story as the NES game. I'm sure the majority of people who bought this game already know how the story goes, they just bought it for the better graphics, re-done audios, and updated gameplay mechanics.

"While you're able to upload images and video footage of the title to social media and streaming platforms for "non-commercial" purposes".

If people wasn't greedy, YouTube would still be a non profit place like it used to in the past.

People who don't charge money on YouTube never have problems with licensed video and music.

In fact 99% of record companies worldwide allows their music to be used on YouTube, if ads and everything money related is disabled on the channel.
My YT channels have always been non profit to avoid copyright problems.

If i enabled money stream on my channels, 99% of my content would be blocked. lol
I prefer freedom over money anyway.

@RudyC3 Dude, relax. They are just asking to label certain parts with a spoiler warning and only stream the ending when the game has been out for a month. That's not some mega unreasonable stuff that'll prevent everyone from streaming the game.

@RudyC3 they dont need you to promote their game, lol.
get over yourself

You'd assume that anyone concerned about spoilers would avoid watching streams of the game, but maybe that makes too much sense.

Is there any way to play the game without agreeing to those stream guidelines?

People freaking out cause of the games age. Maybe this new version expands on the ending? Specially how it mentions post ending gameplay?

Cause IIRC the game has new content and features, so they likely also applies to the ending / post game, so maybe it's something neat they changed and added that they want people to discover for themselves rather then watching someone else do it.

And also, at least this is more fair then Atlus.

This is basically a big chunk of the game you can stream until you get to the ending / post-game stuff, which only has a limit of 30 days.

Then you have something like Atlus which are like "you can only stream the first few hours / few chapters of the game, and this limit expires in 3-5 years"

@UltraBEAR that can't do that, you do realize they are a company not a government. LOL that was hilarious

@fenlix yes, you just play the game. You don't have to agree to this. It's a GUIDELINE not a law.

Can someone just tell me the ending past ending? I’m spoiler friendly and Square Enix ruined the game for me by setting such high standards for streamers.

Does that mean that Zoma is not the final boss?

And yes, I half-a$$ censored the name on purpose to not disturb Square Enix.

Between this and the censorship, my little sixty dollars of monthly video game budget is going to Ys X.

Playing it, so don’t care. My guess is there’s some new stuff after the final boss, so they want it to be a surprise.

@MidnightDragonDX same, just preordered it yesterday

If I did streaming, I wouldn’t listen.

I a, assuming there is some new story elements here then? Releasing them in the chronological order rather than a remake of DQ one first probably suggests this. I hope so at least

More than likely, there are new story elements during the ending/postgame that connects to DQ1 & 2(or that other game). It's not like it's a big ask when it's only for 30 days

@Deviant-Dork how old are you? They have twitch or YouTube file a copyright strike against your account you don’t even stream do you?

I am pretty stoked to play this game on Steam Deck OLED. I have the trailer a few times back to back and I cannot get enough. I have always loved Dragon Quest though, and I haven't played this one yet. This will be a completely fresh experience for me.

@Dpullam New DQ3 players like yourself are the reason why SE is asking people to not spoil the ending/postgame in the first month(and that's understandable). It's a great game but, it was a early NES rpg originally(it came out the same year as Final Fantasy 1) so keep that in mind.

@UltraBEAR

That's what I was saying the other day too.

@Lumi777 Absolutely! I am reasonably keeping my expectations in check considering the age of the game.

@Dr_Corndog Dude, some channels literally spoil stuff in the thumbnails and video titles as you're scrolling on YT etc.

The guidelines for Stellar Blade were funnier. Especially the "No feminist propaganda" part.

Peoples are cooked

@marandahir That's a little different, then.

Weird flex by Square. Not only is the game ancient there's an updated version of DQ 3 on the eshop and has been for years at this point.

@Dr_Corndog Seriously. I've never understood why people get so worked up about how people enjoy their games. I don't care if you got the game two weeks early or you want to speed run through it, doesn't affect my enjoyment at all.

Is it really so unreasonable to ask people to mark spoilers as spoilers and not spoil the ending for people who are going to play the game at a regular pace and not play straight through for 30 hours? [Narrator: It’s not.]
