Been playing this for the better part of today on Switch, chasing my playthrough of the first Dragon Quest, uh...a year or two ago?
Anyway!
I don't know why these Switch versions are so damn ugly. I think by the time they got DQIII they had a more uniform look for these ports/remakes, but I and II look awful. Chunky pixelated backgrounds would be no problem if the character sprites weren't weirdly high res? With tiny pixels? And then the weird kinda blurry hand drawn enemy sprites.
I dunno, had they gone with any one of those styles for everything, it may have worked better. But all three? It's a mess.
But! You stop noticing it after a while, and wouldn't ya know it, DQII is pretty fun. I gotta grind like crazy to get this Princess to the same level as her cousins, but once I do, I...hopefully won't get almost insta-killed by the grey centipedes in the tower, this time.
Probably gonna take me a while to finish this one. Plenty of time for Square Enix to give an update on that 2D HD remake of DQIII they announced two years ago. Any day now...
