Re: Soapbox: The Erdrick Trilogy Is The Right 'Dragon Quest' For The HD-2D Treatment

Darkakuahebi

So... basically, It's no longer the Erdrick Trilogy, it's the Erdrick Quadrilogy, 11 is now the oldest in the timeline, And they are, rather than a full 3d remake, doing this HD-2D crap...
Which sucks, because 3 Is the BEST DragonQuest game. It was the game that debuted the 4 character party, the much loved job system, Character Creation(which was then ignored as a while, save 3 and 9), the Casino monster betting game, mini-medals, and mini-games...
It deserves more than a port, obviously, but that's basically all this would be... a slightly enhanced, upscaled Port...
Sure, the monsters spin-offs and 7 both introduced features still around today(in some games) such as Alchemy and Monster Taming, But nearly everything else? Straight from 3. The worst part is, so what! Sure, they might just do this HD-2D DQ3 Remake, but even so, it probably won't release internationally... they NEVER Release the remakes outside of Japan, except the DS/3DS ones, And only a few of those... I mean, the Monsters Spinoff games Got 3DS remakes of The First, and BOTH second, games... but despite the online petitions and begging from the fans, the CLEAR EVIDENCE that they would definitely sell, especially since they had more content added, All of us Non-Japanese fans were left wanting... Why? THEY DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS A MARKET FOR DQ GAMES INTERNATIONALLY. SquareEnix are DUMB. Just because Joker 3 didn't sell well, there's no market for the franchise? stupid.

My point? Don't get your hopes up.
