Vi har flera gånger tidigare skrivit att 2024 kan vara en seriös kandidat till det bästa åren för japanska rollspel någonsin, där titlar som Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Persona 3 Reload, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Visions of Mana och Sand Land bara är några av de hyllade titlar som släpptes.
I det läget kunde man misstänka att en remake av en urgammal titel som Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake skulle försvinna i mängden, men så blev inte fallet, långt därifrån. Det blev en enorm succé för Square Enix (över två miljoner sålda exemlar på bara tre veckor) som vida överträffade deras förväntningar, och som en följd har de varit måna om att ta hand om spelet.
Nu har en ny patch släppts, vilken utöver de sedvanliga buggfixarna och optimeringarna även innehåller några större nyheter som snabbare resor, förändrade förutsättningar i strider samt framför allt en "short-cut button" som gör att du kan koppla magier och förmågor till specifika knappar.
Här nedan hittar du hela patch-listan:
Traversal
- The movement speed when travelling by boat or using Ramia has been increased.
- Adjustments have been made to avoid boat travel speed being reset by opening the menu or getting into a battle while travelling by boat.
- A feature has been added whereby pressing the menu button while flying with Ramia allows the player to switch between automatic and manual flight modes.
