How are all of the RPG fans doing after that Nintendo Direct, hey? One of the highlights of the show was Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake , which made its long-awaited return after years of silence. We got music, a new trailer, and a release date of 14th November. We also know some new features are coming to the game.
Nintendo Life had the opportunity to go hands-on with the remake, and we were told by Square Enix that the job system will be "modernised". We weren't told what that meant exactly, but today's trailer — and the newly-revealed Collector's Edition — may provide a few hints. Eagle-eyed fans over on the DragonQuest subreddit noticed a character with a different-looking outfit was barely visible at the bottom of the screen, at around the 1:21 mark .
We've linked the trailer, but we'll also post the screenshot right here. If you look at the bottom, you'll notice there's a character in a red, horned uniform, which looks similar to the Monster Master class from Dragon Quest VI and Dragon Quest X . There's another indication that this job will be added to the HD-2D Remake in the Collector's Edition.
This comes with some rather lovely little Character & Monster acrylic blocks, and it's the former that many have spotted a newer class among the ranks. Check the top row on the left, next to the Sage and Thief. Looks very familiar, right? In the top right, you can also see a female variant, too.
We've also cropped the above screenshot so you can compare the two images below..
