'''''Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake''''' is a full remake of ''[[Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation|Dragon Quest III]]''. It was originally announced as part of the 35th series anniversary celebration on May 27, 2021.

Unlike previous remakes of ''Dragon Quest III'', the HD-2D remake offers a modernized vision of the original title with additional scenarios, voice acting, [[Monster Master|new vocations]], and modern ''Dragon Quest'' series features such as battle tactics or faster battle settings. The graphics are completely redone in the "HD-2D" style popularized by previous Square Enix published games such as ''Octopath Traveler'' and ''Triangle Strategy''.

==Changes==
Among the most notable changes between this remake:
* New scenarios supervised by [[Yuji Horii]].
* Re-imagined locations and HD-quality sprites.
* Orchestral soundtrack.
* Fully animated monsters.
* New vocation: [[Monster Master]].
* New spells, such as [[Moreheal]].
* Spell power now grows with the [[wisdom]] stat instead of being fixed to a static range.
* The inclusion of skills for melee vocations, such as [[Double-Edged Slash]], [[Mercurial Thrust]], and [[Pressure Pointer]] <ref>Weekly Shonen Jump issue 32, 2024</ref>. The battle menu lists lists Spells and Abilities separately.
* The inclusion of additional monsters, such as the [[Frostburn|frostburn]] and a new variant of it.
* Weapon changes are visible in battle.
* Battle tactics, available for the first time in ''Dragon Quest III''.
* Faster battle settings, as seen in recent ''Dragon Quest'' titles like in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] release of [[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King|DQVIII]] or in the international releases of [[Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age|DQXI]].
* Three modes of difficulty: Dracky Quest (Easy), Dragon Quest (Normal), and Draconian Quest (Hard).
* Increased language support: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish.
**''Dragon Quest III'' had not yet been translated into most of these languages prior to this remake.
* Voice acting support: English and Japanese.
