    The slower paces are the charm of the DQ games. Granted the speed up feature for combat is welcomed, especially when animations start to be introduced.

    DQ3 was my first DQ game - bought it with my allowance for GBC when I was probably around 10 or 11. I loved the game but gave up when I couldn't progress, and didn't revisit it until my 20s. Still one of my favorite DQ games and best JRPGs of all time IMO. Very excited to get this remaster on the Switch!!

  • @thequestingbunny
    @thequestingbunny 3 месяца назад +2

    I've played every version of DQ3, too, and this is my favorite DQ game to boot!
    Anyhow, hey, I wanted to warn people about Merchants. They aren't a bad class at all, but ... well, there's a part of the story where a town is developing. They say they're in need of a Merchant. If you have one on your team when you get there, they will leave and stay there to help this town get started! And there's a whole story about them there in that town when you come back after progressing story. The cool part of it is when it turns out the town ends up being named after the merchant. Last time I played on GBC, I just made a throwaway merchant named ? because I was being a little shit. I don't wanna spoil any more than that. Be careful a Merchant you aren't planning on keeping forever doesn't stay behind.
    Otherwise, I want a Monster Master. Wanna see what the new job is all about!! ...not so I can build an army of Bunicorns, I promise... ^_^U
    My husband is laughing his butt off right now because he says that he's gonna start with 3 goof-offs as his party just because. I had to bonk him with my Slime plush. XD

    A tip i didn't know i needed to give my friends when i got them into playing Dragon Quest just a week ago: Items like healing herbs need to be in your characters inventories to be used, each character can only use their own items in battle and has no access to the Bag.
    This isn't even a 3 specific tip, my two friends one picked up 11 and the other 8 for the 3DS, both were surprised by the idea of each character having a bag but got used to it.

  • @TheTateful
    @TheTateful 3 месяца назад +1

    This is a very good beginner's guide. I might add that it's a good idea to stash seeds away for difficulty spikes, as using them early doesn't increase the value of your stats at a later level.
    This is a matte of personal preference, but I also prefer to turn my merchant into a sage. The merchant is a decent enough tank early game, and the extra gold helps to minimize the need for grinding early on. Additionally, the ability to summon your last-visited shop or an inn in a pinch can be very nice when exploring world 2.

    • @veghesther3204

      That too but QUICK Save before using it after all Call shop is still very costly at 15 MP each use it also summons a Random Church and since the Churches in this upcoming Remake CAN save you game Call shop when summoning a Church may still allow you to save in the middle of a dungeon this version only.

    One more tip: *Before dungeon diving, warp back to Aliahan and deposit your money purse*
    There is nothing worse than running into a wipeout and you find half of your gold is taken. Use the bank whenever you have at least 1000 gold to safely keep your gold intact.

    • @veghesther3204
      @veghesther3204 3 месяца назад

      That too but too bad just BUYING OUT out the first shops in the game for the best equipment BEFORE entering the Najami/Dream Tower costs well more then that at least 2500 gold depending on your jobs you chose at the start of the game.
      Easy mode difficulty MAY Prevent that from actually happening in the first place and I plan on playing this remake on Easy mode as long as you still GET EXP/Gold on it (you don't for DQ11's EASY mode).

    Just changing your wizard to sage once you learn oomph/bikill is really all you need to do for smooth sailing, in my opinion, if you are using the preset command groups. But if you are issuing individual command, I think the fighter into mage or vice versa could be better.

    I played Dragon Warrior as a kid back when it came out in America, never forgot it. Much later I discovered Dragon Quest iii SNES version. I played it during the pandemic, got pretty far, but didn't finish it.
    I JUST heard about he HD-2D version today, so decided to start a fresh game on SNES DQIII ahead of the HD-2D release.
    The first time through, I didn't want to change any classes or any of that (start back at level 1? are you nuts??)
    But I ust found this vid, watched it twice, and it's giving me the courage to try forming a party with plans on changing them later. And based on another of your videos, I'll def add more female characters to get at least one of them to "Sexy"

    I have played the first 3 versions, and I prefer the GBC, not to say the others weren’t great, because they were.
    But at least for those 3 versions, there is one thing you miss. For fighters, there defense is also high because speed affects defense as well.
    I prefer them over soldiers because they have the possibility to do more damage over the soldiers, but that part is just my thought.

  • @mauvecloud0
    @mauvecloud0 3 месяца назад +1

    Here's a tip I can add: in most (possibly all) of the 2d dragon quest games, including Tickington and 2d mode of DQ XI S, characters set to "follow orders" require me to tell them what to do at the beginning of the round, and they stick with that even if the enemy performs a big attack before it gets to their turn. Characters set to things like "focus on healing" or "fight wisely" can react to the situation and use healing spells at that point. In 3d dragon quest games, orders are carried out immediately instead of being queued up at the beginning of each round, so this makes less of a difference. I don't know which way DQ3 HD2D will handle the combat.

    • @veghesther3204
      @veghesther3204 3 месяца назад

      About that if you have every white/black mage spell in game and set AI to healing they will almost NEVER heal UNTIL you LOSE OVER 75% of the party members HP instead for boss fights they will either use Kabuff until your defense is maxed out or use ATTACK magic only so for bosses just manually control everyone.

    • @veghesther3204
      @veghesther3204 3 месяца назад

      I wish but with every attack spell learnt when I set all 3 Non hero's to use Healing spells they would ONLY use ATTACK Magic the Sleep spell or using the spell that increases the party members defense spells EVERY turn and never actually USE Multiheal UNTIL they LOSE like 75% of their max HP with like 4x 500 HP users having the AI use Multiheal when you ONLY have 100 or LESS HP is worthless.
      Hero party member is the only one that normally learns Omniheal but in MOST of the DQ games the Hero party member is the only one to NOT have a AI tactic and must be manually controlled that and 64 MP per Omniheal to a hero party member that AT lv 99 with the Vamp/Sexy Girl Personality by lv 99 I didn't have the FEMALE hero with even 300 MAX MP at lv 99 so the spell isn't exactly cheap.
      As for physical skills under use Healing skills only if the AI isn't using attack magic they would use the Physical skills instead for this remake once you learn all of those to go with every white/black magic spell in game the only spell the AI would never use is Bedragon to kill the Metal slime types when the show up the Chance spell that has random outcomes or the Self Destruct spell that kills its users while damaging all enemies at once most NORMAL enemies would be immune to the Self Destruct effect.
      But if the ROCK Bomb enemies use that Same Self Destruct move its strong ENOUGH to kill a 999 HP LV 99 party instantly but since that move is a SKILL the STOP MAGIC spell is completely useless against i.t

    This is a great video, but there is just 1 thing I would actually recommend differently: change your Cleric (Pilgrim) into a Sage when you get the book. If you absolutely need that much magic, changing your fighter types into a Sage could work as well, but at that point in the game you probably really only need 2 healers (Hero + Cleric into Sage) and more offensive magic (Hero / Sage / Mage). Later in the game, when you get to the dark world, it is way easier to grind anyone to level 20, so swapping anyone to a Jester (Goof-Off) is the way to go. I guess you could have a Hero and 3 Sages by end game, but having some offensive attackers is also nice, might be worth getting 1 Sage to 50ish for all the magic and swapping to Fighter :D

      It’s not a remaster. It’s a full on remake. They have rebuilt the entire game with completely remade visuals, new story content, revamped gameplay, QoL features, orchestral soundtrack, etc. I’m not saying you need to rush out and buy it if you’d rather wait for a sale but calling it a remaster or comparing it to the existing switch/mobile version (especially since the current version on Switch isn’t even an amazing port itself given it’s just the SNES version with removed features) is drastically underselling what this release is.
