I'm glad to hear this is looking good, although I feel the need to point out...
This has been a feature of the series all the way back to Dragon Quest IV on the NES, where in fact, in the final chapter, you could only give commands to your main character; the entire rest of the party was always controlled by AI. Nearly every game since then has given you the option to switch between manual input or different AI styles. |

I wonder in what way have they remade Dragon Quest I.
Not that long ago I played original NES version, and while I really liked it for what it is, it IS very basic (one could say that it is for JRPGs, what Super Mario Bros. is for platformers), and outdated at this point. |

At the very least, I'm glad someone new is enjoying it. I'd love to recommend some of the other titles in the series, but in truth, full-voice isn't something that all of them have. The writing & accents of each character's regional dialect is always charming to the point that it's a travesty most DQ games are text-only.

Still glad to see more people wanting to try Dragon Quest games! If DQ8 is FFVII, Then depending on who you ask DQIII is considered FFVI or FFIV (DQ V is considered in the conversation). I personally find DQIX heavily underrated in the entire series because it came the closest to being like DQIII. |

Not as bad as having Keifer’s sister speaking with a lisp. Which requires at least 3 readings to understand her dialog. |

I will also never understand why official DQ localization went with the dialog it did. Yangus in 8 was nigh ununderstandable. Do people actually like them giving everyone thick, unpenetrable accents?

At this point, it's part of the presentation. The original Dragon Quest ("Dragon Warrior", in those days) gave everyone faux-Shakespearean Olde English dialogue, which is now canon to the Tantagel region. They've been doing the overdone accents in Dragon Quest ever since Dragon Quest VIII was released on PS2, and for the most part DQ fans (all 20 of us) love it. DQ8 also had the advantage of voice acting to help make the dialogue easier to understand. It's like the puns: DQ isn't DQ without it. Remaking DQ3 makes a lot of sense, since it's "the big one" for DQ fans. It's the game that made the series actually pop-off, and it's the one that's stuck in cultural consciousness the most (anytime you see an isekai hero with a circlet and a teal outfit: they're channeling the vibes of the DQ3 hero). DQ3 is also the most "sophisticated" of the Erdrick/Roto trilogy; DQ1 and 2 are good, but they're much simpler in comparison (hence why they're packed together so often). Heck, just this weekend I saw Jeremy Parish talk about Dragon Quest 1's localization (and how Nintendo could have avoided a massive loss if they had localized Dragon Quest 3 in the first place instead of the first one). |

I still call the game Dragon Warrior. It honestly sounds cooler to me.
