Parcheesi board

[mudpuppy510]

Any idea if the parcheesi boards and added equipment from the GB color version of the game will be making a return here?

I hope they replace it with something else :( I freaking hated it (i hate board games in general, never liked when i played with people). Maybe replacing the boards with more dungeon would be nice. I am certainly not gonna be happy doing those boards again and wasting time because i keep falling in trap doors only to keep reloading and try again. If they want to bring back Pacheesi board, they should let it be an online thing similar to Mario Party where people can actually play to have fun. Not to get those pesky mini medal that you have to land on a certain space to get :( it was such a chore.

I mean, a Dragon Quest game isn't a Dragon Quest game if it doesn't have some kind of RNG gambling game somewhere. If not "Treasures n' Trapdoors" (man UK localizations really like to take up space), it'll be something else new.

But I'm curious about this, too.

I actually liked some of the added stuff in the GBC version, such as the Pachisi minigame, and the collecting of Mini-Medals and Monster Medals. I frankly hope all that returns in this version.

Mini-medals and pachisi were in the SFC version, only the mini-medals were added in GBC.

I know I am necroposting but I want to confirm gbc had pachisi/treasures 'n trap doors. https://youtu.be/SSr4otbdjx0?si=xkOJkw6gDmr5VZRW

However, the remake won't.

If you need it on modern platforms, dq5 mobile has it (not old dq3 mobile/switch version). I believe that vid is the ds version as I couldn't find mobile but I didn't hear it was pulled.

As Mr Variant pointed out above, Pachisi (aka TnT in the modern localization) does not return in the HD-2D Remake according to several sources.

We see that at least one of these locations was turned into the Monster Arena instead.

Someone had also found that the Rubiss Sword is present in some of the HD-2D footage online (shown very briefly). This seems to suggest that the content which was previously exclusive to the GBC version will be available in the Remake, even if it's not obtained the same way (i.e. Pachisi)
