Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake arrives on PS5 in November, providing players who missed this classic JRPG with the perfect excuse to check it out. Storied Japanese outlet Famitsu got to take an extensive look at the game and was even kind enough to upload 30 minutes of 4K gameplay for the rest of us to gawk at.
Writing extensively about the experience, Famitsu seemed quite pleased with the high-production details and smart additions to the core gameplay. Battle speed can be increased, and the actions of both party members and the hero himself can be automated through different settings, making extensive grinding sessions much more forgiving. They note that the appearance of equipped weapons will change and is represented visually, which is always appreciated.
There's some pretty interesting stuff for players familiar with the original game: the direction from which the player enters a town from the field will determine their starting point. In the example Famitsu uses, in the village of Lebe, the inn is located on the southern edge of town, so entering from that direction saves walking across town. "Secret places" litter the overworld, serving as a more evolved take on the hidden points in the original game, offering rewards to those who seek them out. Check it out below; the text is in Japanese, but gloriously nostalgic gameplay transcends language.

Saw it earlier I want this now 😍
Wow, this looks stunning.
Read that headline in Goofy’s voice. Getting that KH platinum has ruined my brain. Can’t go anywhere without hearing him say PEEDER PAN
Instabuy looks awesome
Definitely looks really pretty and I only played XI in the mainline series. Looking forward to it.
My god. Just like how Live a Live and Octopath 2 improved on the 2D HD engine, this looks like it improves even further!
Smooth framerate with crispy graphics, nice lighting and animations!
@nessisonett At least it's better than hearing Donald talk about ingredients.
Or singing songs in Atlantica. I have nightmares about those scenes.
