Okay, let’s dive into this. So, at PAX East 2025, I talked a bit about playing Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster. But here’s a little secret I held back: Square Enix had another game up its sleeve. Boom! I got an early peek at Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. If you’re into Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, trust me, you’re in for a ride. This duo of RPGs is all set to blow your minds, whether you’ve been in the game forever or you’re just stumbling in.
Anyway, here’s a pic. Not sure if I’m even looking at it right, but whatever.
So listen, as part of the privileged press crowd (fancy, huh?), they gave us the lowdown. We got rules—don’t wander off into the wild unknown, ‘cause those high-level monsters lurking about? Yeah, they could totally wreck us if we dared to stray. If you’ve played Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, you know what’s coming. It’s on PlayStation 5, running smooth at 60 FPS. Everything’s zipping by, and there’s a super-handy run toggle, so your thumb doesn’t cramp up. Yeah, fun times.
Okay, focus. Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake. Taking the timeline baton from III, but backwards… or is it forwards? Either way, you step into the shoes of Erdrick’s descendant to take on the Dragonlord, solo. No allies, nada. The original NES version was punishing, but now, Square Enix has dialed things back—a bit more fair without it being a total walk in the park. You still gotta be sharp with your moves. By the end? You feel like some invincible superhero. Who doesn’t want that feeling?
Oh, and Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake—back to a full party, thank goodness! Everyone’s got names, personalities, the works. I heard whispers about class systems, but those Square Enix folks were tight-lipped. You start out small, but sounds like the crew might grow as you go along. AI can take the wheel for your teammates if you’re feeling lazy. Little tip: if a monster’s weak to a spell and you’ve already zapped it, the game gives you a heads-up. Smart, right?
I’m stoked for these remakes, to say the least. They sure look incredible in that glossy HD-2D style. Man, the music? Expect brand new orchestrations that’ll give you all the feels. Keep your eyes peeled for the launch on October 30—Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It’s gonna be big, folks.
