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.

Bravely Second has made some changes in the west. For example, the Tomahawk class became Hawkeye for the overseas version. Changes extend to at least another aspect of the RPG as well.

One fan has poked through and compared the original Japanese and western versions to see what’s been modified. Models have been updated, which was done to cover up certain parts of the body. A few more of the changes can be seen in the video below.
