Do i need a strong PC to play this game in 2D mode?

My Laptop is not the best so i need to be careful what i buy or the game will run with bad framerate. Since i am used to playing all the Dragon Quest games in 2D (except 8 and 9 of course) i though i could play this game in 2D the whole way without worrying about trouble.

im not a computer wiz, but its true that the 2D mode run on a NDS3D which is equal to a gamecube/ps2 in power. so I doubt its demanding, but we have no benchmarks out, but yeah, I think the 2D mode wont be demanding at all. now obvioussly the developers doesnt wanna beta test 10000 pc´s so they just take a low end specc and run through with it, and says this is the min sys req often.
So yes, even if min sys req is below your laptop it might run anyway.
Remember regular DQ 11 in 1080p rarely reached above 2gb vram. the fact that on the microsoft store they recommend 6gb shows they are clueless and probably confused the recommended geforce 1060 as a 6gb version over the 3 gb- which is more than enough for the whole game- I think on my test I was around 1.7-2.2 at most, so where MS got the recommended 6gb vram I have no idea, but as I said, they probably confused the geforce 1060 (which Square-Enix recommended for the game, and was at that time the most common gpu on STEAM) , 6gb version with 3 gb since 3gb is more than enough for atleast 1080p... as I said in 1080p, th vram usages is 1.7-2 so anyone who think they need 4 more lives in a fantasy world, I mean even at 1440p the game is around 2.4-2.7 vram. But hey, I guess Microsoft assume recommended = 4k which probably then is 4-5 vram usages, wouldnt suprise me at all.

My point is, this game runs on a switch and a ps4. We know they (for ex ps4) use at most 2-3 gb vram (so pc version can recommend 6gb vram all they want, its not req) AND this game, in 2D was running on a NDS3D which is a weak gamecube basically.

The original game versions min requirements was an I3 2000 series and a gtx 750ti so the 2d version should be very easy on any graphics card made in the last 5 years. Depends on what your graphics card is in your laptop. If it can't play the game and you have less then 2 hours of game play then you can get a refund from Steam.

Has anyone tried this yet? If I can play this game in 2D mode on my craptop running a UHD Intel graphics card, I'd do it in a heart beat.

Dude its 2d game...you can run CSGO on a 2010 laptop in 30 fps this game will run smooth

I am playing this game on 4k 60fps flawlessly on a I7 9700f and a 2070 super so I highly doubt any pc will have a problem with 2d mode.
