Square Enix has released a slew of HD-2D games over the past few years, and the creators of Dragon Quest III Remastered are worried that you might get “bored” with them.
The HD-2D style Square Enix introduced with Octopath Traveler was generally well received by fans, and the developer has subsequently used the style in many other games, such as the Live A Live remake and the recent Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remastered version. We also know that Dragon Quest 1 and 2 are getting the same treatment, and in a recent interview with Bloomberg , JRPG Remastered producer Masaaki Hayasaka said he’d “love to consider” a contribution to the series The game gets more remakes, but part of that depends on how good the guy is.

Hayasaka went on to explain that if Square Enix “releases too many games in a row, it can lead to people getting bored of them. On the other hand, if the time span between releases is too big, it can also lead to the series not seeming as great anymore.” Full of energy and energy, this is a sensitive topic that even my supervisor is often unsure and pondering. ”
Personally, I do understand the hesitation, especially considering that even now there are still people who don’t like games that look a little retro and that Square Enix is in a tough spot right now, it makes sense. Fortunately, things seem to be going well for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remastered, which just yesterday peaked at over 45,000 players on Steam alone (via SteamDB), which is pretty impressive for a single-player remake. It is said to be a very healthy digital role-playing game.
Whether these numbers apply to the upcoming remasters of the first and second games is another question, but at least for now, it seems likely that more HD-2D remasters will be on the table.
