They changed the Boss Trolls design to having green lips in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince as well. Honestly I can understand them wanting to change it a bit, (like have you guys seen the normal Troll design? He’s literally brown with big pink/red lips).

If you asked me out of the blue "Do you want to play a remake of Dragon Quest III?" I'd probably not be super interested. But it looks like they've really implemented a ton of modernizations, improvements, and new gameplay features to make it a fresh experience. I'm surprised they even have voice acting, never would have expected that! Seems like an impressive package overall. I'm definitely interested now. I hope they similarly address the traditionally restrictive inventory system though. When Damiani talked about the cool real-time lighting effects while using a torch in a dark dungeon, it made me think about having to carry a bunch of consumable "Torch" items in my limited bag space, hoping I had enough for the trip.

In early Dragon Quest games, the battles were placed in a seperate screen from the world, isolating off the enemies to show off their attractive designs, it was a clean design that helped to streamline the game. I personally have a fondness for it myself and I don’t think it’d take too much for a new player to get used to. A part of the appeal of DQ battles has always been the delightfully whimsical animations of the enemies rather than your own party. DQ3 in particular, I assume you might not know so I’ll just say it like this, places less emphasis on the party members besides the main player character anyways. It’s a jolly ol’ time
