DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake

The most significant remake of DQ3 since the days of the Super Famicom. It's really, really good. All the new content is just what I would want from an expanded version of the game. I wasn't sure what to think of the overhauled Monster Arena at first, but oh my God, it's so much better than the original. I didn't spend a lot of time gambling on monsters before, but I spent a lot of time on the monster arena this game. The Monster Wrangler was supposedly overpowered at first, but it got a nerf before I played the game, and I find it to merely be a solid addition to a party. The martial artist, unfortunately, is underpowered in this version. I would like to see them fix that, too. Gadabout also has a ton of useful skills; I'm not sure if this is new or was in the previous remakes. All the new content with Ortega and the hero's mother and grandfather is just so perfect. I wouldn't have wanted anything less than this from a new remake. They've released a version of the same remake over and over since the 90s - finally we get one that is worth the money spent. And the Japanese voice actors are incredible (yes, I did Japanese audio with subtitles). I wish they wouldn't do stupid stuff like make Jipang people talk in haiku, but Dragon Quest has always had localization issues, and this isn't exclusive to this version. Overall I think the modern standard of localization is the best we've had. Perhaps we deserve better, but this is better than the NES days. There are some great details in the localization - the people of the upper world speak various dialects of modern English, for example, but Alefgardians speak a convincing but readily comprehensible Elizabethan English, perhaps reflecting the stagnation of their dark world. It's true that the old NES localizations had archaic English, but it wasn't very good archaic English; it was the way your average person talks when they're TRYING to sound archaic - and it wasn't just Alefgard people who spoke it; the upper world spoke it as well. My BIGGEST issue with the modern localization, which, again, isn't exclusive to this remake: there is a town called Su in Japanese, that was translated as Su in the original localization, and it is clearly meant to be a NATIVE AMERICAN village. The localization ERASES this in favor of a colonial town called Persistence. Do better, localizers. If you're afraid of being insensitive, then hire a Sioux person.

85/100

Absolutely amazing looking game and this style is just perfect for Dragon Quest. I don't dislike the 3D graphics of other DQ games but this is just how Dragon Quest is meant to look. Perfect blend of nostalgia and new. I never actually got to play the older versions of DQ3, I started playing DQ with 4 and 5 on the Nintendo DS.. but this game is just like I imagined. I hope they continue to remake all of those games, it'd be a dream come true to play a remake of 4 and 5 and have them on my computer.
