In the first ‘Dragon Quest’ game, you only play as Erdrick.<\/p>\n
Square Enix<\/p>\n
The upcoming Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake<\/a> still continues to impress and look lovely in its latest trailer.<\/p>\n While the Western version of the Nintendo Direct omitted any mention of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, the Japanese version covered the game quite a bit.<\/p>\n Thankfully, Square Enix uploaded the trailer to their channel and in English, too.<\/p>\n Unlike the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake<\/a>, this new instalment combines the first two games into one package. This makes sense, as the first two games were a lot shorter than the third game in the series.<\/p>\n Moreover, Dragon Quest III was the narrative start of the original Erdrick trilogy<\/a>, before Dragon Quest XI<\/a> came along at least, and it makes sense storywise that the first two Dragon Quest games would follow the third for these remakes.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also important to point out that in the first Dragon Quest, you only play as one character, that of Erdrick<\/a>. Or, more accurately, the descendant that gets to use that name.<\/p>\n Play Puzzles & Games on Forbes<\/p>\n The second game includes more characters for your group, but the first Dragon Quest is a more solitary endeavor, and it will be interesting to see how that plays out in this new remake.<\/p>\n I am also loving the very British voice acting and dialogue. It fit really well for the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, and this looks to be just as good, if not better.<\/p>\n The other big news is that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake will also be released on Switch 2, as well as the original Switch, which I think is great.<\/p>\n Dragon Quest has a very Nintendo-specific heritage to it, and it just feels right that Nintendo\u2019s latest console would also be supported for a game like this.<\/p>\n Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake will be released on October 30 for Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, via Steam.<\/p>\n Follow me on X<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>. I also manage Mecha Damashii<\/a> and am currently featured in the Giant Robots<\/a> exhibition currently touring Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the first ‘Dragon Quest’ game, you only play as Erdrick.
