As seen in the official release date trailer, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake uses a combination of 2D visuals and 3D graphics similar to other Square Enix games like Triangle Strategy and Octopath Traveler.
Characters and monsters use 2D sprites while the environment is rendered using 3D graphics.
The remake introduces an improved and modernized UI and quality of life improvements. These include new animations used for the battle system, adjustable battle speed, and an auto-battle setting.
The best version to play Dragon Quest 3 is the upcoming HD-2D remake. The remake features a complete overhaul of the graphics and offers gameplay improvements that make it superior to the previous version.
If you want to play the game right away, you can play Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation on the Nintendo Switch. This version removes some features such as animated battle sprites for the monsters and the Pachisi Board but it offers a quicksave and autosave features and is the most accessible version available.
