I've been waiting for this to drop from the first trailer. Fantastic remake with a lot of tools to help first time players.

Anyone else playing?

60 dollar remake game with denuvo on it, no thanks I'll pass no matter how good it is.

I might pick it up in the near future. I don't have much nostalgia for the NES Dragon Quest games, but this one looks amazing.

If they remake DQV and VI in this style I will buy it in a heartbeat! And yes, I know V had two remakes already, but none of them are available on a modern platform.

I adore the first trilogy of DQ games but I'm holding off cause I don't like or trust SE anymore (plus, denuvo, ugh).

I will say, it's a better experience to play 1 thru 3 in order with no prior knowledge of what makes them a trilogy. Having 3 stand alone kind of misses that "oh fuuuuuuuck" realization I got to experience (and subjected a friend to, who has yet to forgive me lol). It's what made 3 one of my favorites next to 5 and 11.

I never played Dragon Quest, but these remakes make me very hopeful that we'll see a Chrono Trigger remake similar to these.

That would be awesome! I have a lot of ham games I'd like to see in the HD-2D style.

Just started! It's been a minute since I played the Gameboy Color version, but the orchestra versions of the music are immediately familiar.

Due to my financial situation I shouldn't be buying any games right now, but this is so tempting to buy anyway.

You could always sail the seas 😉 then pick it up later when your finances allow.

I imagine with denuvo he'll have to wait a moment before he can sail the seas. Not too long, though.

Hold yourself over with emulated DQ 1 and 2!

I want it and even though I have the money I'm not spending $60 American on it. Same deal with the new Secret of Mana game.
