@@garfieldodie3106 DQ3 is and always will be my pick for greatest DQ game, simply because it completely revolutionized JRPG's in general. But DQ5 is a very close 2nd for me, and easily the best in the series in terms of the actual story & plot. I would absolute LOVE for a full-on modern HD remake of DQ9 as well... add in even more iconic & classic equipment, more monsters instead of just re-colours/pallet swaps. Bring back all the on-line features!! I loved the grotto dungeon map system, and I'd managed to score a couple of the most famous maps back in the DS days, including the famous Kawasaki Locker map from organised tag meet-ups ;-) Add in new & bigger post-game bonus dungeon would be so cool! More vocations, and fix the quest requirements to unlock some of them please... (gods Armamentalist & Luminary were nightmares to unlock back in the day!) Bring back the online daily store. I originally sunk something crazy like 500+ hrs into DQ9 back in the DS days over the course of about 3-4 years. I don't regret a single minute of it either!
Guys I know that the price tag seems a bit much but if you get 40-50h gametime out of this then you paid 1.50$ per hour for Activity that is hopefully enjoyable for you. Of course if you think you will have more fun with a different game them spend your money on somthing else. Pls do not say that this game is not worth the money because it is a remake because it is. Has there ever been a much larger game for the same price? Yes there have been. Has there ever been a game that has been running like shit for the same price? Yes there has been. What I am trying to say is that yes it is more on the expensive side but it does not make sense to compare between games and how long they can entertain you or how great the graphics look. We have a finished product that looks, runs and plays well. The rest is up to you to decide.
Once Switch 2 drops, and in a couple of years all prices on Switch games halve or better, I'll start picking up titles like this galore. For a physical copy collector like me, the Switch is going to be a dream handheld to hunt for in the years to come.
My only issue is that Im not very imaginative person , i hate it on earth bound and smt games despite how good those games are i enjoyed played them .still i hate first person pov. Its not 1980s , i can see if its an indie dev but big Boy like square enix don't have any reason not to include the 3rd person pov to me its just lazy.
Yea I never got to play dragon quarter :(. I was a huge fan of 2 and 3 too. They really moved mountains for me and broadened my imaginations horizons as a kid.
@@joshuaDstarks lewd refrences are part of his work to be a fan and dismiss the censorship tells us your a crap fan. Also how stupid it is you need gender neutral language to appease insecure people.
Id rather they make a new DQ game in the old style of DQ 3 verse just redoing a game that already exists. Replaying games you already played gets a bit old even if it has a new coat of paint
The price of this game is fucking nuts. Should be 40 bucks - at MOST 50 bucks. I swear they're pricing like this to counter sales-prices which is inevitable these days.
@@TehParismio Lets put it this way - the majority of AA and AAA games are released at this price today. These games are built from scratch: new writing, new characters, new animations, new music composed, full 3d renders, voice acting etc. This game is a REMAKE - it doesn't need new writing apart from perhaps some edits, it doesn't need brand new music (similar to writing, maybe some tweaks), it doesn't have voice acting (at least, as far as I can tell), it included new sprites but then decided not to include full animations in combat, and it's environments are hardly the same as a full 3d render. So what part of the effort demands the full price that it is asking - apart from milking nostalgia? These jap publishers (particularly Capcom and SqEnix, Bandai, and Nintendo) are totally nuts.
Yeah. I enjoyed the heck out of Octopath traveller and I am Setsuna but by the time Octopath 2 rolled around I was still hyped but couldn't enjoy it as much as the first. I realized the HD 2D fatigue was sadly setting in😢
I want to get this, and while I realize it’s a remake built from the ground up, $60 still feels a bit much. I would for sure do $40 so I might wait to see if there’s any sales for the holidays
God, I will never understand you idiots "hur dur game from 1980s" fucking stupid thought process when it's literally made from the ground up, new artwork, remixed music and everything, you gamers these days are so spoiled!
I bet IGN would give it a -100/10 if they were ever smart enough to find the Golden Claw secret treasure hidden in the Pyramid Despite having played the OG NES version multiple times, the GBC version multiple times over... I've NEVER managed to get out of the damn Pyramid without being fully wiped out, once grabbing that cursed treasure!Lol People think the basic encounter rate is too harsh? Go find the Golden Claw - afterwards you'll find the basic encounter rate is almost non-existent! 😛
It doesnt retain core of original you cant choose male or female they pandered to the modern audience that doesnt exist except on twitter and they never buy things they complain about.
It looks to me a more refined version of dq 7 graphic style on the ps But since creator came out against the cenorship being forced on them, so imma pass.
It is sorta lame they didn’t censorship for a bunch of random shit like I understand why you would censor some of the female outfits but like why you censor bros lips and change the cross to a pitchfork?
give me a real Chrono Trigger 2D/3D remake and I will hurl money at my phone immediately
I’d hurl my children for that.
It will be woke or censored.
Yeah, this is why I’m scared of any remake these days. Otherwise I’d love to see an hd-2d Chrono Trigger.
I would cry
@@sting7789 The Japanese don't cater to the woke brigade that much, I don't think that will be a problem.
This might be my most hyped game for 2024. Grabbing it today!
Not Persona 3? I couldn't think of any other JRPG this year 😅but I'm hyped for this too I haven't played the original
@stephenthedude4383 never played a Persona before. I really want to play Vidions of Mana, Metaphor and FF7 Rebirth. Too many rpgs lol.
@@sonicatlas lol definitely
lol no. FF7 and Persona games are more hype.
Not even close my friend lol@@rahad5
This is the kind of quality I want to see in the next Harvest Moon game.
Harvest moon isn't harvest moon anymore, you want Story of Seasons, they're who used to make harvest moon
Now, if I can get DQ 5, 6 and 7 in this style too
I think it looks really cool, I like the HD-2D style. Just wish it was a bit less expensive though
Wait for a sale ;-)

Nope, boycot
Actually, the entire thing is for me to decide, pal. And I’m not giving them $60 for this.
@@SWOTHDRAboycot? lmao
nope waiting for a huge sale drop
Wow, GamingBolt actually knows about an RPG series this well. Better than Gamespot that's for sure.
30-40 is the sweet spot on this
yarr🏴☠️
@@toji6472good luck with that, this game has denuvo.
Yea $60 is a lil much for a remake imo, I'll catch it on sale tho
make it 10 - 15 ...

Can newcomer to DQ play this as first DQ?
Yes. The only two DQ games I might avoid as a newcomer would be 2 and 7. DQ7 is very good, just incredibly long, even by today's standards.
Yes, you can start just about anywhere tbh. For the sake of having the luxury of modern QoL features though, I'd recommend either this or DQ11 S.
This is actually a great game to start with. This game is the quintessential DQ experience.
You can really start with any DQ game. I highly reccommend checking out 8 and 11 if you get the chance too!
I started the series last year with fourth game. Some games are connected but you can play them in any order.
Waiting for mine in the mail
My only issue is that Im not very imaginative person , i hate it on earth bound and smt games despite how good those games are i enjoyed played them .still i hate first person pov.

Holy sh*t me to that would be absolutely incredible !!!
Yea I never got to play dragon quarter :(. I was a huge fan of 2 and 3 too. They really moved mountains for me and broadened my imaginations horizons as a kid.
There's no excuse for this game being $60.
Brother 60 dollars is probably the cheapest youll see a physical copy in the west. Just look up the DS remakes.
Are you kidding? This is better than lots of "AAA" games that costs up to $70 or more.
@FelOld thank you for cheering me up. I needed a good laugh.
@@revenant2550”I needed a good laugh”, you need better taste.
Game of the year 🎉🎉🎉 long live Akira toriyama my biggest issue is censorship in the game square enix are you listening
Censorship how?
I hope this isn’t a case of you needing to grow up and notice the changing world around you….
Only five comments in before finding a whiner. Shame.

@@jmanup1985or I could just as easily ask for reasoning behind such an opinion, bubba.
looks like a fun game, but that price is ridiculous. It should be half that price.
that 1st person screen gotta go
I hate random encounters, also there are no fight animations - BIG pass. Nostalgia is fine ... but for what price?
I never played this but it looks pretty awesome.
I cannot wait for this game!
All these broke stingy people in comments wishing it was cheaper over one of the greatest JRPG's of all time 🤣😮💨
Yeah, a 35 year old game you dork
I just can’t do random encounters I hate them with all my heart

Rough go for the AI voice today. Like listening to William Shatner trying to sound out each word separately.
Don't understand people say Octopath looks better than this. DQ 3 remake looks vastly superior than that game.
Really, is this a consensus?
Are more than 1 ending in the game?
I'm kinda tired of hd2d style but Dragon Quest 1-3 are foundational pillars of rpgs and deserve these high quality remakes

looked awesome except the battle 1st person view
1st person combat 😢
But the real question is: is there fishing?
Why would there be fishing
If you want fishing in a game, go buy a Fishing Game.
It's a joke. Most, if not all, modern/remake of games from Japan seem to include a fishing mini-game in their games.

@@omensoffate someone who isn't born in the Nintendo era 😞 don't get the reference
$60 USD to play a game from the 80's...wow. I'll buy it when it's down to $7 :)
In their defense, it’s rebuilt from the ground up but I agree as well, $40 would have been an immediate buy for me

never played the original , i would play this , but the price tag of 60€ is not worth it for me when i never ever played JRPG like this before
FUCK YES great review bravo!
Nice
Once i saw that first person view combat i lost interest
What people pay to play this , im old school but seriously I'll rather go play WoW or something else
Game is way to expensive
Too expensive 😅

Nintendo entertainment system in Japan??? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Sounds like you need some holy water
Gonna wait until this comes down in price. $60 is outrageous, especially when “Death Stranding: DC” was on sale for $20
Your comment doesn't make any freaking sense

Not buying a censored game
DQ 11 so over hyped. 8 is the best.
