Dragon Quest 3 since it was released back in 1988, has been winning the hearts of fans year after year, all thanks to its memorable characters as well as its story, since at the time the game was a revolution in gameplay in role-playing titles. It’s no wonder that Dragon Quest 3 still has a huge fandom despite the fact that decades have passed since its release, now this title is once again a mini trend, as fans went crazy with a swimsuit that excited many!
Dragon Quest 3 and its swimsuit that surprised many people
Recently, there has been a discussion on the Twitter/X social network where fans got into an argument about whether or not a character’s skin was a swimsuit, because this one looks more like a short dress than a swimsuit. Like any game from the 80s, the women’s clothes in Dragon Quest 3 are quite “whimsical” for their time. But the important thing is that the discussion escalated so much that several Japanese players were included in the discussion that a swimsuit is something more traditional, which would be a classic bikini, not something with a short skirt.
The reaction of Dragon Quest 3 players has been, for the most part, of enthusiasm and fun, since being a topic that no one would expect to escalate both social networks such as Twitter, Reddit and specialized video game forums in Japan, these were quickly filled with comments and memes related to the curious swimsuit. Some gamers see this addition as a nod to classic Japanese RPGs that weren’t afraid of censorship, which often included costumes and comical elements for characters, others see this as a clever way to keep the game fresh and relevant.
The decision to include the swimsuit may seem unimportant at first glance, but this reflects a trend that has been lately in the gaming industry, which would be the combination of nostalgia and innovation. The developers of Dragon Quest have once again demonstrated their ability to keep fans active and with some old-fashioned fanservice, but at the same time respecting the original essence of the game.
Because of this kind of things, the Dragon Quest saga is still relevant today, either by playing the classic emulated titles or their current remastered versions, the fun is assured especially if you are a lover of old school RPGs. If you haven’t tried these titles, don’t hesitate to do so, as the games have aged beautifully.
