Glen-i Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 (edited) Booooo! Hitting your head with Zoom is quintessential to Dragon Quest's humour! Newcomers become proper Dragon Quest players when they make that blunder! Hell, even Smash references it! You can't just ditch it now!

That moment is actually the "Evac" spell, which is meant to be used indoors. No, it's actually this picture: It's the same animation as seen around the 21:14 mark in the video (it wasn't actually Zoom, it was the item with a similar use, but the principle's the same). Makes no sense: what's the point of Evac then, if even a starting town item negates it completely? Edited July 11 by Jonnas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The onscreen caption at 20:06 is saying you can use the chimera wing (same function as zoom like you say) to travel to previous areas and that you can use it indoors. Just for anyone that wants to see proof for themselves. It's been possible to zoom directly from indoors in more recent titles so they are probably just bringing it in line with that. As well as the other tweaks and ways it is being streamlined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just let the video run because that wall of images and text was a bit much to take in. Yeah the part where they regurgitate the info from 4gamer.net mentions it.

Julius Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 (edited) Per Gematsu, S-E have released some new details on the game's new episodes about Ortega (who will be voiced by Dave Jones in the English release, and Hiroki Touchi in the Japanese release). Quote This remake contains several new scenes which shine a spotlight on the protagonist’s father, Ortega, giving players a better understanding of the man himself and his quest. The story also features new, formidable foes which will give fans an even more enriching experience of the Dragon Quest III narrative. Father to the game’s protagonist and one of Aliahan’s finest. Long ago, he set off on a quest to rid the world of the Archfiend Baramos, leaving behind his beloved wife and baby. After scouring the realm in search of Baramos, Ortega met an untimely end when he fell into the maw of a volcano during an epic battle. The seafaring nation of Portoga, the small cherry blossom filled island of Jipang, and the isolated desert kingdom of Ibis are the focus of the new details shared about the game's remade world.

Jonnas Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 They're adding scenes for Ortega? That's pretty cool! So this is the sort of thing Horii was talking about. Simão is now officially written in the Portuguese way! He was always called "Simao", and some translations simply went with "Simon". The fact that a significant localisation is bothering with the proper spelling of Portuguese tildes is huge for my language's representation. 1 hour ago, Julius said: The seafaring nation of Portoga This too 1 hour ago, Julius said: the isolated desert kingdom of Ibis Oh, that's another name change. An understandable one: it used to be called "Isis". It was a very fitting name, but real life mucked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 More info coming next Wednesday about the stuff hinted in the Partners Direct. Quote An encounter with a monster, what is this...?

Julius Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago A few more hands-in previews have come out following the end of an embargo for time spent with the game at Gamescom: Some really positive previews, very much looking forward to this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The PS Blog has been updated with some new details on the game, which alongside the previews I would assume makes up the further info @Ike mentioned was on the way! Quote New party customization In Dragon Quest III HD-2D, you play as a young hero sent on a quest to do what your father could not: defeat the Archfiend Baramos. It’s not an easy task, but fortunately, you can get some backup to help you out. You can form a team of up to four characters, including your hero, near the start of the game by visiting Patty’s Party Planning Place. In the original game, you could simply choose their vocation, which determines their role and skills in battle. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, however, gives you a lot more options. For example, you can now change up how they look… … with fourteen different hair colors to choose from. You’ll also get to select what kind of voice they have – their appearance won’t limit the voice types you can give them. Combined with the many different personalities, which affect characters’ strengths and weaknesses, it lets you create a party that’s easier to become attached to – after all, they’re distinctly yours. Quote Friends forever What if you create your perfect party member? Once your adventure is done, is that bold recruit lost forever? Not in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake! The new game lets you register a volunteer so you can use them in another playthrough on the same account. They’ll even keep the attributes, level, and equipment they had when you registered them! Quote Meet the Monster Wrangler Everyone in the party, your protagonist included, has a vocation. This determines what spells and abilities they’re capable of learning, how their stats will increase and the equipment they can use. There are multiple vocations in the game, including classics like Warrior and Mage, but this remake adds a brand-new addition: Monster Wrangler! Dragon Quest III features some of the most charming and iconic adversaries in gaming – even those new to the series will likely recognize the humble Slime, for example. Monster Wranglers know more than most about the world’s monsters and will help you befriend any creatures you find who looks lonesome. They can also do battle with an array of monstrous abilities, from awesome attacks that hit multiple enemies at once, to helpful heals that can bring your party back from the brink. Quote Master the Monster Arenas As you play through the adventure, you may encounter monsters of a kinder disposition to those you take on in battle. They’re hidden all over the world – in towns, dungeons, and even secret areas on the world map. If you scout these monsters, you can use them in another new addition to this remake: Monster Arenas. You can use a team of three monsters in various arenas around the world, pitting their battle skills against those of other trainers. You can’t control monsters directly, but you can set their tactics to influence how they act. Each tournament has its own rank, so you’ll need a good team and a good strategy to overcome the tougher challenges. All looks and sounds incredible. It's a good job we have a good number of games to tide us over for the next 2½ months, if only to help make the wait for this somewhat bearable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
