Dragon Quest 3 is undoubtedly one of the most important RPGs ever made, and its HD-2D Remake breathes new life into the game while still respecting its nostalgic history. It makes a strong case for Square Enix’s HD-2D format being used for future remakes, but the game’s producer, Masaaki Hayasaka, is wary of doing just that and “over-saturating” the market.
