I blurted out about that Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster at PAX East 2025, right? But here’s the real tea: Square Enix snuck another surprise in there. So, listen up, gamers—got my hands on Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake before it hits the shelves. If you dug Dragon Quest III’s remake, you’re in for a ride. This duo’s got something for the die-hard fans and the newbies. Trust me; it’s like finding that one sock you lost in the dryer—unexpectedly satisfying.
Anyway, the press got these dos and don’ts about gameplay. Stick to the script, they said. Big bad monsters lurk off-path, ready to crush our puny hopes. What a drag. But man, if you’ve played Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, you sort of know the drill. Run it on PS5—it’s smoother than butter sliding off hot toast. You can yank goodies off the ground, zoom through fights faster than thinking, “Did I leave the stove on?” Also, a run button you can toggle. Finally! My thumb thanks you, Square Enix.
Okay, where was I…right, specifics. Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake comes after III. Weird order, huh? You’re solo, playing as Erdrick’s descendant, on a quest to topple the Dragonlord. No sidekicks—just you versus the world. Originally a NES nightmare, it’s been tweaked not to make you scream into the void. Strategic brain is a must here. But feel that power rise, almost like thinking you’re a superhero—or a really lucky lottery winner.
Switching tracks…Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake. Back to friends and team vibes. Your party here’s got names, traits, and all that jazz. They sidestepped deets on a class system—sneaky folks. You might end up with four in the crew, but who’s really counting? Let the AI steer the battles, or take the wheel yourself. Cool thing spotted: enemies show spell weaknesses after a blast. Handy, huh?
So, Dragon Quest I & II, looking sharp with that HD-2D flair. Ear candy with re-orchestrated jams, too. October 30, folks. Mark it for all the consoles—Switch, the new Switch, PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and good ol’ PC. Can’t wait to lose myself in it again.
