Thank you so much for covering Legends of Astravia!
You pronounced the title perfectly, by the way :)

IF DQ 3 remake has been this long delayed because they were working on 1-2 as well, thats amazing. I just hope that 1&2 is really has got the same love as 3 and its not something they just threw out along it.

I seem to remember, and I could be wrong, that during the original trailer for the HD2D version of Dragon Quest III, the interviewer asked a question to Horii about Dragon Quests I and II. He started to answer but was cut off. This could have been the plan all along to release the full trilogy.

I don’t know why I hadn’t seen this series from you before, I love the vibe and the production! I’ll check out the others and I’m looking forward to the next one!

Dragon Quest 1 was certainly short, but they got longer as the series went on. (Like, seriously.) By the time they got to DQ4, they basically had a full-scale JRPG on the NES. And DQ3 ain't no slouch, either. Granted, a lot of the play time is spent level grinding.

Ah, yes, the bripe. Or as I like to call it, the coffee bong.

I agree, I still think we should hype responsibly just to make sure we don't get disappointed about what games get covered in the DQ HD-2D remake.

Also, appreciate you covering Astravia and VAY - I've never heard of both these games before and now I have them on my radar!

[AlexRN]

@1:37 you knew what you were doing when you chose that thumbnail, sir and I can’t say I blame you for it. Certainly caught my attention. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to google this Farmagia business and see what’s up!

A collection of the first 3 Dragon Quest games remade in HD-2D would be perfect! I haven't played a single mainline Dragon Quest game yet, so I'd definitely bite if they release a collection of the first 3.
I do have DQ11 in my backlog, and it has DLC codes that expire in 2025, so I plan to play that after I finish Tales of Berseria, which I'm playing now. I'm battling my backlog.

Good news is we FINALLY got info on DQ 3 2 HD remake but the bad news is it will available on certain platforms. God I hope the switch plays well and if it will only drop on Switch 2, then that shit BETTER surprise me and be an actual improvement on the original Switch. Hardcore fingers crossed because god it has been so long.

Parting on the side rather than in the middle is the right choice.

[ModelJames]

was not a very good game. But that boss music cannot be denied! Legendary.

[A.S.Bridges]

Ah that's so interesting. 🤔 I never would have dared to dream that DQ HD 2D could include more than one game. Shoot, at this point maybe the dream of updating the next trilogy of DQ 4 - 6 might not be so crazy to hope for after all...

Man, it's so hard to hype responsibly lol 😅 if only there were a T-Shirt to help remind us...hehehe 😏

[jayarcee]

What if the HD2D DQ game is actually a remake of the whole Erdrick saga in one whole game?!

[stephenneal]

I'm keeping my eye on where the winds meet. I like a good souls like.

Lets pray that Princess Maker 2 Regeneration doesnt feature cut content because one of the endings one could achieve in that game is related to.. not really incest but someone you grew up with falls in love with you and you not being related to each other would allow that ending to become a possibility but I dunno what SONY or Nintendo think about that, or evne Steam, since the original Steam version doesnt feature any kinda censorship or cut content.. besides one bathing scene where a two parter gets relinquished to a onesie basically. Also lets pray the new translation is any kinda worth since the english translated releases have.. not been that great before.

And lets pray that the third game in the series with the most content and cooler princess to raise will also get a rerelease with an updated translation, as that one DEFINITLY needs that more then the 2nd game.

[odaliscanelo]

They call it a bripe, I call it a sippy cup.

[Eagleknight]

Emphasize on the hyping responsibility here. The announcement / screenshot was just that. Nothing else was said so it's interpreted wide. Not exactly getting my hopes super high yet. It's already been 3 years since they originally announced it. Staying calm.

Till then holy cow have you heard of this series called Trails and their new arc coming out next month Trails into Daybreak 😂😂😂

[DangerMouse]

DQ3 is a prequel so I think they were just referring to that. I don't see clear reason to think anything other than DQ3 is coming (soon at least).

[xxnikexx]

It would be smart and nice if the first 3 entries are getting the HD 2D collection. Maybe they were just testing to see people's reaction to the HD 2D project and considering it was well received, they might have decided to the first 3. Maybe next will be the 4~6.

[redmage]

I actually though you were making greek coffee for a second. 😊
