Dragon Quest 3 Graphics Compared to HD-2D in New Video

In the new video comparing graphics and environments, both parties in the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake version and the original Famicom version of the game include the Hero, a female Warrior, a male Priest, and a female Mage.

Despite the size and scale of the environments in the new remake being much bigger than in the original version of Dragon Quest 3, the time it takes for characters to traverse the entrance of the Dreamer’s Tower is roughly the same. To accommodate for the larger maps, the walking speed of characters in the new remake seems to have increased.

Ahead of the release of the game, Square Enix offered new details about the brand-new Monster Wrangler vocation and the Monster Arena, as well as released new screenshots of the game.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake will come out on November 14, 2024 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam.
