Do you know Dragon Quest? It's a Japanese series of role-playing games, downright legendary, which started on Famicom, the Japanese NES, in 86. We often used the word legendary, a little quickly sometimes. But here, it's a nice euphemism. If we remember Dragon Quest, firstly, it's because it's THE saga that was able to bring together in a single point what we know about JRPG game design. Without being strictly the first work, it's THE pioneer of the genre, arriving before the others. On our side, as we didn't have them in Europe for a very long time, we had to wait a while before discovering them. But it was worth it, every time! We're still talking about a video game series that contains a total of zero bad titles. Probably the JRPG license that has deviated the least from what it was originally too. You can't do much more "straight in its boots" than Dragon Quest. In France, we knew it on PS2, then on DS, 3DS, all that up to the 11S, available on pretty much everything you can imagine. Little by little, we had the opportunity to discover almost all the faces of an immutable monolith of Japanese video games. And the original trilogy in all this? Incredible but true, until then for us French, it was a gray area. Somewhat mysterious confines. Even more than the games themselves, we know rumors about them, each crazier than the last. It is said that the first Dragon Quest games were raised in the Famicom charts, even higher than most first party Nintendo games. That they were also an unparalleled cultural phenomenon, often. But for us Europeans that said... well once again, mystery and bubblegum. A final clarification, which allows us to finally experience in the best conditions the first major trilogy of the JRPG, which had such an influence that without it, all your favorite games would have been massively different. So, when one fine day in 2021, Square Enix made us understand that for the 35th anniversary of Dragon Quest, we were going to have 2DHD remakes of the first three episodes, first of the 3 on November 14, then of the first two in 2025, it was a miracle. That's why I decided, with the kind collaboration of Square Enix, to tell you about Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.
