Why remake 3 before 2 and 1?

Because it's more popular.

Because they want you to play it on Chronological order, which 3 comes first.

I hope they do DQ5 next!

3 is more popular than 1+2 (1+2 are basically 1 game when put together anyway)

AND

3 is the first game in the trilogy timeline wise.

3 leads to 1 which leads to 2.

I want DQ Heroes 3, Builders 3 and DQ12 I don't need any nostalgia

A proper sale on Heroes 1 and 2 and builders 2 would also be nice

Weird decision, DQ3 being a prequel was supposed to be a late game surprise twist. The trilogy was created with the intention that people played them in numeric order.

Sure, 3 decades ago when it first came out. I suppose they expect DQ fans to know it now and new players to come into 3 first. Likely isn't going to be setup in a twisty kind of way in the remake.

The game is quite old and to be fair the whole "third entry being a prequel" has been done plenty of time.

Snake Eater is a prequel to MGS 1&2, The Sims 3 is a chronological prequel to some events from the first two, Zelda 3 (A Link to the Past) is a prequel to Zelda 1&2 and so on...

1 isn't a full jRPG, it's a puzzle game with a world map and random encounters, so tuned to a single route that the player learning the spell to light up dark dungeons instead of using a consumable item is actually a meaningful upgrade because you need the inventory slot to hold key items and healing. You can't do anything more than make it pretty and add some QoL stuff and have it still be DQ1. It's also really, really, short. Like "first timer can finish it in an afternoon" level short.

DQ2 isn't as primitive, but it was blatantly unfinished, especially in the Japanese release. Like "one third of party members just stop getting new equipment not too long into the game" levels unfinished.

It's the weirdest take I've ever seen.

DQ1 is the grandpappy of all jrpgs. Show some respect, boy.

[botwntcp]

dq1 was the first game i ever beat in the way back times

[Kuro]

DQ3 is being remade first because initially the project was only being considered with one game in mind with 1+2 potentially being done later.

If they were going to choose just one DQ game to remake in this style, it would have to be 3.

[Soulhacker]

Because in term of the Lore, the story of DQ3 is before DQ1.
