Here’s something a little interesting about the development of Dragon Quest XI. During its early days, Square Enix tried making a part of Dragon Quest III using Unreal Engine 4.
The vertical slice was the area where you find the castle town Aliahan. It wasn’t recreated entirely, but the team was able to take a serious look at the classic NES RPG while working on Dragon Quest XI.
According to director Takeshi Uchikawa, the team was able to more easily understand the likeness of Dragon Quest. It let the developers see conversations and the people of Dragon Quest III.
We may get a look at the Unreal Engine 4 version of Dragon Quest III one day. Producer Yosuke Saito hopes to have an opportunity to show it in the future.
