This week’s issue of Jump has yet another update on Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3.

In the magazine, we’re shown an important and mysterious girl, who was designed by Akira Toriyama. She has a similar appearance as the protagonist, and also wears a Reactor device on her ear. Her description is as follows: “This girl knows everything about Break World!?” She even appears to know about the protagonist.”

Also shown in Jump are “Break Monsters”. These are ominous monsters seemingly eroded by something that should be considered a considerably formidable threat to the player.

Square Enix has been teasing Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3’s demo for awhile now. Today, the company finally announced that the download is due out on March 9 at 10 AM Japan time via the eShop.

Those who download the demo can try out the series’ “Monster Scout” system, along with new elements such as the “Ride System,” and monster and field object analysis using the new “Reactor” tool. Clearing it will award players with a “present code” that can be used in the full game.

Also, as a reminder, downloading the 3DS tool Dragon Quest X: Boukensha no Odekake Chou Benri Tool will allow users to obtain the “Reactor” tool in Dragon Quest X.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 has been covered in this week’s issue of Jump, and some new details are provided.

First, Master’s Road is a new mini-game that uses the ride system. There are entrances to Master’s Road in various places in-game, if you use a certain item named Heaven Guidance Stone. The objective in Master’s Road is to reach the goal while dealing with obstacles, and something not specified yet awaits at the goal.

Jump also touches on dimensional rifts, which are gates to a parallel world. These rifts can’t be seen with naked eye, but can be searched and detected with the Reactor. When you go through them, you’ll enter a parallel world never seen before, which has not only strong monsters, but also Masters who can challenge you to a battle which will give you rewards on victory.

Yet another notable change has been discovered within Bravely Second’s European version. With sidequests, whereas the Japanese release has players picking a side and seeing the consequences of their decision being played out, European copies result in a “good” ending regardless. There’s a little more on this in a forum thread here – just beware of some spoilers.

As far as other western changes go, it was reported earlier today that some character models have been modified. We’ve also known about a class change for quite some time as well.
