Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Hate | Status Update
Series creator Yuji Horii has shared a short update on the status of Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Hate via social media:
Yuji Horii Wrote:Thank you so much to everyone for the many [Dragon Quest Day] congratulations! There has been some worry about Dragon Quest XII, but I was actually in a meeting [about it] until just a bit ago. While I can’t share any details yet, I want it to be something worthy of the posthumous work of the two [Akira Toriyama and Koichi Sugiyama] who passed away. I’ll do my best!

A release date for Dragon Quest III 2D-HD Remake...
Seriously though, super hyped! Especially since it falls a day after my birthday, which means it'll be right in time for my yearly 2-3 week birthday vacation!

Not sure if it was known beforehand or not, but either way pre-orders are live for the Collector's Edition of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake:
Only downside is it seems to be exclusive to the Square Enix store, which I feel like has been mentioned on this forum before as being a little hit or miss at times if I'm not mistaking that for a different storefront.

Sadly, that Collector's Edition is an absolute rip-off. They want $200 for what is mostly digital items. No art book, no OST CD. That should be $100 at most.
Compare that to the Visions of Mana CE which is also $200 but comes with a plushie, an art book and a 5 CD Soundtrack collection. It's still a tad overpriced at $200, but at least it comes with physical goods that makes it an easier pill to swallow.
I'm really disappointed in this CE and will sadly be skipping it. I was really excited for it too, thinking they'd actually make it super nice.

I hadn't looked at the contents of the CE when I posted it, but going by what's in it I guess a good chunk of the price is for the 23 acrylic figures? Not that I think it makes the package worth $200 mind you.
There's also weirdly going to be a Performance Mode for DQIII HD-2D on PS5, yet I don't think this game should be something pushing that console hard enough to need such a mode if you want better frame rates. ![Errm Errm](https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/errm.png)
Three difficulty modes are being included too, making the game easier or harder than the base game was.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D | New Gameplay Footage
I believe most of the footage is just traveling through the overworld and battles, so there probably isn't a need to watch the entire 30 minutes if you're just looking to get a quick glimpse at either of those things.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake | Ortega's Journey Details
Square Enix have released new information and screenshots for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake that detail new content coming to the game featuring new scenes that cover the protagonist's father Ortega.
New Episodes Focusing on Ortega’s Journey and More
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.
A World Remade in HD-2D
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake features a world map modelled after our own. Each region boasts its own culture and traditions; you’re bound to feel like you’ve circumvented the globe after you’ve seen all the world has to offer! We’d like to give you a sneak peek of what lies ahead, paying special attention to the stunning HD-2D graphics, and extra details that have been added just for this remake.
- Portoga
A seafaring nation home to a bustling port that’s filled with the finest shipbuilders. Due to its status as one of the world’s key trading spots, there are few better places to be if you need to learn more about the state of the world at any given time. Travel slightly south of its shores and you’ll be greeted by a lighthouse where travelers are known to gather to trade tales.
Screenshots: [1] [2]
- Jipang
A small island nation known by many names: the Land of the Rising Sun, the Golden Country to name a few. It is filled with countless cherry blossom trees and rice paddies. Venture under its mammoth shrine gate and eventually you will be greeted by a resplendent manor.
Screenshots: [1] [2]
- Ibis
A kingdom surrounded by miles of desert. Ibis has much flora that could only be found in a clime of its ilk, and the well within its borders is one of its people’s few, precious supplies of water. The nation was originally founded by King Faro and is now ruled by a queen famed for her beauty.
