These past 365 days saw the release of three games in Square Enix’s patented “HD 2D” line: Triangle Strategy in March and the Live A Live remake and Octopath prequel for mobile in July. And now we have two more games to look forward to next year: Octopath Traveler 2 and the Dragon Quest 3 remake. This little subseries has become synonymous with the Switch at this point, with Octopath 1 being one of the standout titles from the big [January 2017 Switch event](https://youtu.be/Gp-Y_FgDHjQ). I know many are hoping for similar remakes of Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 6, but I’m personally holding out hope for Xenogears or even the original Final Fantasy Adventure (AKA the first Mana game). But I’m also curious about what a brand new action RPG would look and play like in this style. Maybe akin to the early Mana games? Or something entirely new?
