Episode notes
Remakes Treated As Major Projects
- Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D feel like full-scale remakes, not trimmed follow-ups to DQ3 HD-2D.
- The release order (3 then 1&2) was unconventional but ultimately smart for narrative and quality.
Simplicity Scales Well With Presentation
- DQ1's simplicity is its strength and becomes grander with modern presentation.
- The HD-2D remake expands scope while preserving the original core design.
Give Players Toggleable Quality-Of-Life
- Offer players optional modern conveniences to respect both new and hardcore fans.
- Include toggles (like disabling heal-on-level-up) so players can choose authentic or modern difficulty.
