Square Enix recently announced that the highly anticipated Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake will be officially released on November 14. As part of the classic RPG series, this remake will introduce a new plot, focusing on exploring the background story of the player character's father, Ortega, who has been full of mystery since his debut on NES in 1988, and has become an unsolved mystery in the hearts of many old players.

This remake is developed by the team that developed "Octopath Traveler" and adopts its iconic HD-2D art style, perfectly combining 2D pixel characters with highly rendered 3D backgrounds. As early as 2021, Square Enix announced this remake plan, which aroused great expectations from loyal fans of the RPG series.

In multiple versions of Dragon Quest 3, Ortega battles the Demon King Baramos in the opening cutscene, but the battle ends with Ortega being defeated and falling into a volcano. Although Ortega's legacy and death are mentioned in the game through dialogues between multiple NPCs, in-depth information about him has been scarce.

However, according to Famitsu, the remake will reveal Ortega's "character and journey" in chapters, which will undoubtedly provide fans of the series with a great opportunity to get to know this legendary character in depth.

In addition to Ortega's story, this remake will also make many improvements in game content and gameplay. The original "Dragon Quest 3" first introduced the function of customizing the team, where players can create multiple characters in the tavern of the starting town and assign them professions and names. According to information leaked in June, the remake may add the player-favorite "Monster Master" profession, which allows characters to capture and tame monsters instead of just defeating them.

In addition to the possibility of new professions, the remake also includes a number of modern improvements. The game will offer three different difficulty modes, suitable for players of all levels. The game will also add modern mission markers and fast travel functions, allowing players to travel around the game world more easily. Finally, the game also adds a dialogue replay function, allowing players to review the dialogue with NPCs to ensure that no important details are missed.
