In 1997, I used my brother's PlayStation to boot up Final Fantasy 7, and my life was forever changed. It launched me into a campaign of devouring every single RPG I could get my hands on - all of those games were an escape from the troubles of my childhood.
Dragon Quest 3 is one of the most important video games ever made. It was utterly foundational for the very idea of what we see as role-playing games - the "hero's" quest, an overworld map to explore, the introduction of class and job systems, and a day/night cycle.
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is a dazzling re-creation of the RPG that keeps the 'classic' heart of the game intact while making some smart modernizations to help newcomers.
Getting back the rawest form of that story feels like a warm reminder of why it works so well in the first place.
