Better HD-2D than Square. Shows how half hearted Square's efforts are with the HD-2D Dragon Quest Remakes.

 

[Hero_Select]

Oh wow this looks amazing Thank for putting this on my radar

 

[touchfuzzy]

Looks exceptional, it's on my Steam wishlist

 

[daxgame]

I'm in. Guess they got tired of waiting Chrono Trigger's remake.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Well that looks amazing!

 

[archangelmorph]

Wow this looks cool

What they're going for here seems to be something different, especially with the camera angles. I think Eiyuden Chronicle is a better comparison:

I'm really liking the experimentation with camera angles and sprites.

 

[RedC]

Just saw this.

It looks great.

Pretty sure they wanted to stay true to the originals. This is different and does not need to be compared.

Looks better than any HD-2D stuff for sure. Wish Square didn't cop out with those games (not all are remakes btw, so saying it's to be faithful doesn't quite work), especially the sprites/animations. Even for the remakes, hell, the originals had too little or bad animation to begin with even for their own era, because you didn't expect a massive JRPG to have the graphical quality of some fighting or action game or whatever else had a smaller scope so dedicated more effort to individual characters etc. back then, but for all new games/remakes, come on, animate them, especially when you're going so low res/low pixel count, it'd be lovely if they actually moved nicely in that style (eiyuden did more, but not as good as this either imo).

Of course it remains to be seen if the rest of the game has the same quality as the visuals presented here in scope/story/gameplay, but it's promising.

For Dragon Quest 3 HD2D they didnt even bother putting animations for the characters walking diagonal.

Looks dope, wishlisted!

 

[Fbh]

Looks great, will definitely wishlist.
Hopefully the story and characters are good. The last one of these western "retro" style JRPGs I was pretty hyped about was Sea of Stars but they really dropped the ball with the story/writing.

 

[Labadal]

Looks good, but I prefer the look of Ictopath Traveler 1/2.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Looks great but I'm being cautiously optimistic
