Square Enix’s Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake hasn’t received very many discounts since launching last holiday season, but the charming JRPG is one of the notable games in Amazon’s Gaming Week Sale. The retailer’s limited-time deals drop the prices of the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch editions to new all-time lows.
Several other Square Enix RPGs are featured in Amazon’s sale, including Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince (Nintendo Switch) for only $26.47 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for $40 (PS5). We included a list of notable Square Enix game deals below.
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake recreates the original 1988 version of the game with all-new visuals, reorchestrated music, and even some new gameplay tweaks, while maintaining the content of the original. The original Dragon Quest 3 was notable for having one of the first class-switching systems in a console RPG, and a non-linear, open-world structure. The game still holds up well today, and the HD-2D Remake gives it a beautiful visual upgrade along with numerous quality-of-life features.
Narratively, Dragon Quest 3 takes place before Dragon Quest 1 and 2, so you don’t need to worry about playing Dragon Quest 1 or 2 first. Square Enix is currently developing HD-2D remakes of the first two games, too. They will bundled together in one package, which is slated for release this year. The first three games form what is often referred to as The Erdrick Trilogy.
The art style of all three remakes aligns with Square Enix’s other gorgeous HD-2D games, including Live A Live, Octopath Traveler 2, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, and Triangle Strategy.
