I do. My pre-order just got shipped, good it turned out great. Dragon Quest 3 is one of my favorite games of all time, doing another run with other jobs. Remembering the order to do quests once the world opens up once you acquire a ship. DQ3 becomes comforting once it is familiar.
With Metaphor and Unicorn Overlord I would never give "RPG of the Year" to a remake, even if it's perfect. And we had perfect remakes this year, like Star Ocean 2.
Here let me help you. Get it on your console. They’re too many exclusive Switch JRPGs that you could easily get away with playing this for trophies or achievements. Hell early next year switch is getting Xenoblade chronicles X.
I had played it on NES and it was one of the best games I experienced. The monsters are really well done by Toriyama-sama. The possibility to make tons of party members as you wish and spend all day leveling them up just because. Them, SNES release had the additional mini games that was a plus to spend time on it, trying get every single medal plus the 5 card poker game was addicting to me. It's a shame if they haven't kept those on it. Oh yea...the bikini armors added to it as the best in slot. Lol It's a shame if they didn't keep everything on this version. The Monster recruitment is new to DQ3. This idea was first implemented in DQ5 if I'm not wrong and yea, also spending tons of hours fighting mobs to see if you can recruit them all.
3 was one of my first DQ games. Played it on the Gameboy color. The GBC was all my first DQ introductions. I've played some iteration (generally whatever handheld remake came out. GBC, DS, 3ds, switch) of all the numbered games except 10. 11 is The Game, let me tell you.
I believe it absolutely should be in the running, and yet, I doubt that it will be. The retro renaissance is strong, but not that strong. This is my game of the year. Favorite game since Elden Ring, in fact.
About that since the FINAL physical skills need a lv 36 Mercant Lv 45 party for Warrior/Fighter/Gadabout doing that for the 3 Non Hero's learning EVERY Spell/skill in game well easy take over 100+ hours once you START the POST game and can KICK the HERo out of the party doing all that job grinding for a 4th Non Hero to learn everythink will likely take as long as DQ7 does OVER 200 HOURS.
I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. Just beat the pyramid on draconian difficulty and loving it. I wish they didn't have auto hp/mp replenish on this difficulty though. As for rpg of the year? Rebirth is gonna be hard to beat in that realm.
If you are on the fence about this game or series, check out Tim Roger’s review of Dragon Quest 11. That got me into the series. I played the iOS version of DQ1-3 this past year while waiting for this game, and I’m still excited to return to this game.
Hi! For “Able conjurer” do we actually need to become mage/priest since sage can cover all the spells? Or we need to get all skills from them too. Thanks!
If you like dragon ball, character design is done by toriyama akira for dragon quest franchise. You will see how the art looks identical to Dragonball characters.
I just started this game on Switch and I am already wondering if I would have been better off getting the PS5 version. What is keeping me from switching to the PS5 version is having to pay full price for this game a second time and no longer being able to get the bonus items.
I really wish we'd see our party members attack during battles, and that random encounter rate could be tweaked... but apart from that, it looks amazing.
There are mechanics in place to either increase or decrease the random encounters. Thief's padfoot is a godsent in areas when you don't want to fight a lot of random battles.
The game is way too easy even on Draconian Quest mode apparently being the "hard" mode. They shouldn't have made the change where party members get fully healed on level up, game is trivial now regardless of difficulty setting.
They need a remaster category for game awards so titles like this are compared to other remasters. Otherwise you’re having a debate if Jordan or LeBron was better. (We all know Jordan is the best)
If you're going to play Dragon Quest VIII, I highly recommend the PS2 version over the 3ds. Way better sounds and music and looks better. 3ds has more content, but at sacrifice of the orchestrated soundtrack and sound effects.
Since you’ve beaten the game can you tell me who’s the true boss of the game by naming him only with the first letter of his name cuz I’ve beaten the game before.
Yes I agreed. I feel they have all the latest console technologies but the graphics are poor. They should put more polygons on all characters and monsters. Also the animation should be much more.
@@ricedrownIt’s not always about graphics……There are some games that look like this that have better gameplay and storyline than a triple A games…. graphics don’t make good games
@@1977NOBODY true but graphics is the first thing that people see. And you're right as long the gameplay is good, the graphics looks decent is good enough
I know a lot of people are divided on this game. Gatekeeping doesnt help. Some have talked about graphics and gameplay to so cslled censorship. To be honest, a lot of the trolling around the censorship is rage bate for clicks. A good research pretty much destroys the censorship argument. Then there is graphics and such. Honestly, it's not about just graphics. It's about the how well the graphics, music, and story draw you in while giving a nice simplistic yet nastslgic type of gameplay. This game delivers on all fronts. It's not supposed to be a triple a game. It's a remake that brings something new to those who know it well as showing those who never played it that simplicity combine with a timeless stiry can be the most fun you've had in a good while. Sure, not everyone is going to like the game or is going to be into jrpg's. At the end of the day, this remake gives us all the nostalgia while giving us old players something new. I for one cannot wait to see the hd-2d remske for dq1&2.
Stellar Blade is my GOTY, but I also had a great time with Unicorn Overlord, SMTV Vengeance, Persona 3 Reload, Animal Well, Shadow of the Erd Tree, Black Myth Wukong, Astro Bot, and a few others. I didn't finish all of these, but had a great time with all of them. Platinumed Stellar Blade and Animal Well! My biggest disappoint was Dragon's Dogma 2. I was looking forward to that game for over 10 years. The final nail in the coffin was Itsuno leaving Capcom a few months after the game released. :(
@@asdf_asdf948 Never said it did. Oh and some more news. They just last minute changed yhe rules that DLC can get nominated for GOTY. So you already know what game is about to compete against your precious ff7 rebirth
Or just play on Dracky/Easy mode and you can't DIE and once your OVER leveled the Holy Protection spell IF the Thief STILL LEARNS it may remove all random battles for a dungeon as long as its IN effect.
Rpg reviewers have been doing this "game of the year" shit for the better part of the ladt 4 years and they are always wrong. This one is particularly funny though 😂😂😂
8:16 "I dont wanna sit through the animations" bro def got paid by Square enix to say that you legit said word for word bar for bar what they said theyd expect fans to say theres a Fast forward button for a reason which we still have WITHOUT the animations I refuse to believe anything other than they didnt want to put them in the game dont tell us fans "We dont think you guys are gonna wanna see animations" like yes tf we are if its too slow for some people like you dont have the fast forward and ULTRA fast forward option like dq8 but some people dont want to always have super fast paced battles some dq players like taking their time so im not really gonna believe that
You misquoted me, and took it out of context I said I don’t think I could sit through the animations and that’s my feelings after 80 hours of playing. 3rd person would be great but I don’t think it’s needed. You don’t need to agree with me nor am I saying you have to. Appreciate your time non the less.
@ i understand what you’re saying but you misunderstood me dragon quest 8 has full character animations with fast forward option and ultra that works just fine if you’re already saying that the Ultra fast is too slow all they’d have to had done was make the animations and just make all the modes faster paced then simple fix and you’re (the game developers) are not gonna tell me what I do and don’t want from a game I’m a fan of (edit) btw I have no problem with first person mode I just don’t like when game developers try and tell me the fan what I want from the game to cut corners around it and say oh “we would have put it in but thought you weren’t gonna like it so tehee” like dude it’s 2024 are we really so short sighted we can’t fix these little inconveniences like it’s not that hard oh the character animations seem too long then speed up the fast forward mechanic all together dude it’s not rocket science I’m so tired of these game developers weird ass logic
RPG of they year (or at least jrpg) is between Metaphor and FF7 Rebirth nothing even comes close to those two. This will still be another great jrpg to play this year though.
I'm playing the game and finding it way too verbose... so many things don't need text and just get repeating text. When I open a chest, half a dozen messages pop up. When you end a fight you need to see 15 lines of text... The so-called HD-2D is also EXTREMELY BAD: it's lousy 3D with 2D characters... a ridiculous regression when compared to Octopath Traveler 2 or even Star Ocean Second Story R. This HD-2D is terrible. The game itself isn’t bad, but it breaks my heart knowing Square Enix's capabilities and seeing them produce this 3D garbage.
Ahhh that’s a shame, I think both this and Stsr Ocean look beautiful. As for the text, I guess it’s a product of it’s time? Could it be streamlined, probably? But it didn’t bother me too much personally.
@ no, the game is good as far as I played! But its a shame about the visuals when you compare with what the did before… but yeah, the verbose could be something that you can toggle on and off
Oh yeah, glad they went with first person combat to spare us from all those combat animations. /s This us a deal breaker for me and many others. And we don't care that the original DQ games used fp combat. They did that to save money and time; it's 2024, this should be trivial.
It wasn't done to save money or time. It's a tradition that you clearly don't care for, which is fine, but you don't need to lie lol. The majority of Dragon Quest games have first-person combat, only the most recent 3D games do not. This game is not a new 3D mainline title, it's a recreation of a 30 year old game. It's only a dealbreaker because you're probably used to old school FF, but if you tried it you'd probably enjoy it. It's snappy and quicker than most turn-based battle systems.
Just play the original on an emulator. Don't support western censorship of our beloved JRPGs, especially not of Akira Toryama's art. And it's 60$ to boot.
the price is high i get it, but telling people to not buy it and play the original because of censorship is crazy. They remade this from the ground up to give fans what they want, sales are what let them know they are doing something right; especially when considering remakes which are often just reskins of old games on new consoles. There are problems like the first person combat and price but ur take is stupid
@@Manoj-ph3ioso agree with you here. This is a weird hill to die on. But yeah, just don’t buy it. However don’t tell everyone else how to spend their money.
Gamers got weird they cry and cry about the weirdest stuff. The game was censored when it hit western shore back in the 90s, Just like it remains. WTF are you slinging snot about? Can't see 8-bit cleavage for real, Are you a Man?
With games like Final Fantasy Rebirth and Metaphor I doubt it could hold candle to them let alone be RPG of the year, but I’m not saying this is a bad game. I’m 5 hrs in and am loving the cute graphics and the late 80s early 90’s JRPG vibe. I think it’s a solid game but sadly there is better.

I think this might take RPG of the Year for me. Who's getting DQ3HD2D!?
UPDATE 14/11: Got the Platinum Trophy after 100 hours! Loved every minute!
I do. My pre-order just got shipped, good it turned out great. Dragon Quest 3 is one of my favorite games of all time, doing another run with other jobs. Remembering the order to do quests once the world opens up once you acquire a ship. DQ3 becomes comforting once it is familiar.
I don't think it's possible with such simplistic story. Well all old RPGs (Pioneer) have simple storylines... Gather a group defeat big bad boy
@@providencez9496 wdym its not possible? its his opinion lol
@providencez9496 I mean nothing necessarily wrong with a simple plot. In fact, it's kinda refreshing given how crazy JRPG stories can get.
i love DQ, and I am buying this game for midnight release tomorrow, but no way this is clearing FF7 Rebirth as best RPG of the year ahah.
Romancing Saga 2 Remake is still my preference.
I can’t wait until tomorrow. I so want to play this!!
Definitely picking this up. I just can’t wait for DQ 12 to release. I put in over 100 hours into 11 and loved every minute of it.
Same! Would rather they focus on 12 than this. 11 was a hugely pleasant surprise for me
I only hope 12 will be on switch, ps4
With Metaphor and Unicorn Overlord I would never give "RPG of the Year" to a remake, even if it's perfect. And we had perfect remakes this year, like Star Ocean 2.
I'll pick it up in the future then! But maaaan there are lots of games nowadays I can't keep up haha. Thanks for the review.
Yeah it's been a heavy year!
Ikr. End of year espically. Like romancing saga 2 and this other new rpg by Atlas
DQ is easily my favorite series at this point, it's just so consistently fun and charming. I started around a decade ago with DQ8 PS2.
Excited for this game.
💪
My honest struggle is what version should i pick up??🥹 switch or ps5?
Here let me help you. Get it on your console. They’re too many exclusive Switch JRPGs that you could easily get away with playing this for trophies or achievements. Hell early next year switch is getting Xenoblade chronicles X.
if I was u I rather get it on the switch so u play the game on the go 😃
It usually comes down to just two things for me. Switch, you play anywhere. PS5, trophies. That's it, just see what matters most to you!
Definitely PS5, it runs and loads way smoother and faster
@@Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyy which console??
I'm so looking forward to this game! Thanks for a great video!
No problem!
Never played a DQ game, but this review (and your videos) makes me want to give it a try. It looks great. Any idea how well it runs on the Switch?
I've heard it's pretty solid on the Switch. I think it's 30fps could be wrong though. And thanks for giving it a watch!
Its 30 fps with some frame dips
DQ11 is a pretty good entry point if you want something a little more modern.

Nope but all the items introduced in that version are here, just obtained differently
Ah, that is too bad as I enjoyed those little diversions. Still looking forward to it though. Thanks.
Played dragon quest 8 when I was like 11 years old when it came out. Nothing has lived up to that game in terms of a jrpg.
Try dragon quest x offline. Awesome 500 hour jrpg.
No game compares when you’re 11.
How did you already put over 80 hrs in this game? Did you get the game early and play it non stop?
Its explained in the video, code was provided for review

Can you turn off the 1st person view in combat?
Nope
Hey FF4 and FF6 remakes would be insane

The majority of Dragon Quest games have first-person combat, only the most recent 3D games do not. This game is not a new 3D mainline title, it's a recreation of a 30 year old game. It's only a dealbreaker because you're probably used to old school FF, but if you tried it you'd probably enjoy it. It's snappy and quicker than most turn-based battle systems.
Is it censored?
Yes. No beastiality and such. Sorry bro, you gotta go elsewhere.
The world map looks empty and bland a.f.
Fair enough, I think it’s beautiful and I’m still discovering stuff
Just play the original on an emulator. Don't support western censorship of our beloved JRPGs, especially not of Akira Toryama's art. And it's 60$ to boot.
Yea
the price is high i get it, but telling people to not buy it and play the original because of censorship is crazy. They remade this from the ground up to give fans what they want, sales are what let them know they are doing something right; especially when considering remakes which are often just reskins of old games on new consoles. There are problems like the first person combat and price but ur take is stupid
Meh, I don’t care what a woman is covered or not covered with in this game, I just want an old school 60ish hour RPG classic with new graphics.
@@Manoj-ph3ioso agree with you here. This is a weird hill to die on. But yeah, just don’t buy it. However don’t tell everyone else how to spend their money.
Gamers got weird they cry and cry about the weirdest stuff. The game was censored when it hit western shore back in the 90s, Just like it remains. WTF are you slinging snot about? Can't see 8-bit cleavage for real, Are you a Man?
With games like Final Fantasy Rebirth and Metaphor I doubt it could hold candle to them let alone be RPG of the year, but I’m not saying this is a bad game. I’m 5 hrs in and am loving the cute graphics and the late 80s early 90’s JRPG vibe. I think it’s a solid game but sadly there is better.
For sure, it's a stacked year!
