SOOOO...
I heard some people claim that Sweet Baby Inc. was involved in DQ3 2D HD; oh well, it happens. Some weirdness was unveiled with the character creator, though:
- Body-Types, a la Terraria (or maybe Runescape). As per Japanese tradition, the classic option is all the way to the right, and the ugliest options are all the way to the left. There is almost certainly a gender selector, though, for the classic female Mage costume was not among the four options (hood, elf twink, female Mage but with a weaker hat, and classic) shown for Mage.
- They made voices for every single personality type in the game... THEN decided that you should be able to just pick whichever voice you want. I imagine that the voice solely exists for those awkward sounds the silent protagonist makes in DQ11, and maybe for little Octopath Traveler lines.
- You can now go full RPG Maker MV by choosing a different color palette for your hair. I'd like to think that they introduced this because they fucked up the hair colors in the cell phone ports.
- Guys can now have the overpowered-as-fuck female personalities, including Vamp (also known as "Whore").
Oh, and they SEEM to have replaced Monster Betting Arenas with mini versions of the Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince arenas. You can now get "friendly" monsters, send them to an old man, and groom them into proper contenders for 3v3 combat.
Honestly? I prefer the half-chibis from the cell phone port. I kinda hope they still sell those ports on the Switch after this. It's shaping up to be a very different game with the same story.
