Square Enix revealed new details and screenshots for Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake going over scrolls and sigils. A new gameplay overview trailer for Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake was also released.
In Dragon Quest I, players will play a single character, while in Dragon Quest II, players can play with a party of up to four characters. Each character can learn additional spells and skills by using new items called scrolls, which are obtained from treasure chests and other sources in the games. Teachings contained in these scrolls can only be learned by certain characters.
Players can also collect five sigils in Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake: Sun, Star, Moon, Water, and Soul. Sigils grant various effects during battle when certain conditions are met. In Dragon Quest I, the player can help fairies create sigils. In Dragon Quest II, players must find the five sigils to defeat Hargon. After obtaining the Moon Sigil, some spells may act unpredictably. Obtaining the Soul Sigil will alter certain abilities and skills in battle under certain conditions.
