How long is the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake?

The recently released JRPG title Dragon Quest 3 Remake offers an epic adventure that will take you down the nostalgia road. The original title, Dragon Quest 3, is still considered to be one of the best JRPGs of all time. The remake features improved graphics alongside better game mechanics and might take more of your time than you would have imagined.

Dragon Quest 3 features a non-linear story and will allow you the freedom and space you need. However, if you are not a big fan of non-linear storylines and want a fixed path to walk on, the game might feel a little too overwhelming at first. For those who will be replaying the game, it will take you around 30 hours to finish the main storyline of Dragon Quest 3. If you intend to finish the game to 100 percent, it will require 50+ hours of your time.
