Summary

  • Dragon Quest 3, along with Dragon Quest 1 and 2, will be available across modern consoles by 2025 via HD remakes.
  • That said, fans are disappointed with Square Enix's Collector's Edition, calling it a rip-off due to its high price and perceived lack of value.
  • The Collector's Edition includes a game case storage box, acrylic figures, digital wallpapers, and an in-game accessory kit for $199.99, no small figure.

It's an exciting time to be a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Quest fan, because after much hope and speculation, Dragon Quest 3 HD2D Remakꦐe is coming out later this🐽 year. Not only that, but Dragon Quest 1 and Dragon Quest 2 will also be getting the remake treatment in 2025. In other words, by the end of 2025, the seminal Erdrick Trilogy♔ will be available across moder💧n consoles.

That said, not everything is peachy in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Quest land. Beca🌊use as good as it will be to get the classic games iꦿn the style of Octopath Traveler,🐼 Dragon Quest fans are sorely disappointed . So much so that fans are calling it a rip-off, and they may have a point.

Dragon Quest's Collector's Edition Is A HodgePodge Of Random Stuff

Currently, the Collector's Edition, which is exclusive to the Square Enix store, . When it launches, it'll come with the following items:

  • Dragon Quest 3 HD2D Remake Full Game
  • Collectible Game Case Storage Box
  • Character and Monsters Acrylic Figure Set
  • Adventurous Accessory Kit (In-game)
  • Two Digital Wallpapers (Real-life)

The grand total for all of that is a pretty $199.99, plus applicable tax as well as shipping. In my case, a full order would run $227.48, no small amount, especially whe🔥n the ☂base game alone is a modest $59.99. And given the assortment of items, fans are displeased.

That's because the two "exclusive" digital wallpapers will almost assuredly be shared worldwide by another user who purchased the edition. Elsewhere, the game doesn't have a traditional steelbook, but rather a box to house the physical copy in. The digital items themselves are nice, though every DQ3 preorder will receive a separate digital bonus.

Which leaves just the acrylic figures as the only true "standout" item, and whereas the likes of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero are launching their Collector's Edition with a statue and Square Enix's own Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Collector's Edition arrived with a deluxe Sephiroth statue, art book, steelbook and CD among other items, Dragon Quest is simply missing the mark.

"It’s a rip off. Most low effort collectors edition I’ve seen in a while," . A , "I normally buy collector sets for Dragon Quest games, but the price on this is ridiculous. If it came bundled with Dragon Quest 1+2 or something else I might consider it, but I can't stomach the price increase for a bunch of plastic character blocks and a cardboard case that will likely get dented in the mail, again."

And they're not the only ones, because throughout the Dragon Quest subreddit, . It's no secret that Collector's Editions by design are meant for the most hardcore of fans, hence their names. That said, it's up to the companies to deliver in the realm of value, and so those fans can't be blamed for determining what's valuable and what's not. In the case of Dragon Quest 3 HD2D Remake, that decision looks to have been rendered.
