· Expresses anticipation for the possibility of a Dragon Quest 5 HD-2D remake release.
· Predicts that following the successful HD-2D remakes of the Roto series, the Zenithian series is highly likely to be remade in the same style.

· Dragon Quest 5 has been remade multiple times, including for Super Famicom, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo DS.
· These remakes were made to allow the game to be played on the latest hardware, reflecting the developers' intentions.
· In the past, online distribution of the Zenithian series was restricted due to copyright issues, but this might have been a measure for future remakes.

· The Roto series HD-2D remakes surpassing 4 million copies sold worldwide increases the likelihood of a Zenithian series remake.
· Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is estimated to have sold over 2 million copies, and Dragon Quest 1+2 Remake over 1.5 million.
· These sales figures suggest that the Zenithian series can also be successfully remade, and the team that worked on the Roto series remakes might continue the production.

· Past conversations with developers have mentioned the possibility of producing the Zenithian series (4, 5, 6).
· This supports the idea that a Dragon Quest 5 remake is not just wishful thinking but has a sufficient possibility of actual production.
· While a 3D remake is also possible, it's expected to be produced in the HD-2D style first.

· Given that the Roto series was released on the Nintendo Switch, the Zenithian series is highly likely to be released on the Nintendo Switch platform as well.
· New endings or additional content are expected, providing a fresh experience even for existing fans.
· Just as new approaches were taken in Dragon Quest 3 and 1+2 remakes, the Zenithian series will also be reinterpreted in a new way.

· Expanded party members (3 → 4)
· Added companion dialogue system
· Added collection elements (e.g., Famous Products Museum)
· Added mini-games and lottery system
· Increased variety of companion monsters
· Partial changes to maps and dungeons, altered story presentation
· Most significant addition: New bride, Deborah

· Dragon Quest Monsters 4 depicts the childhoods of Bianca and Flora, which could connect to a Dragon Quest 5 remake.
· The settings in Monsters 4 could influence new stories or events in a Dragon Quest 5 remake.
· Similar to the Dragon Quest 2 remake, there's a possibility of additional story content in Monsters 4.

· Since Dragon Quest 3 and 1+2 remakes supported full voice acting, it's highly probable that the Dragon Quest 5 remake will also be produced with full voice.
· The voice actors from Dragon Quest Monsters 4 (e.g., Marina Inoue, Kana Hanazawa) are expected to be cast in the Dragon Quest 5 remake as well.
· Richer dialogue for companion characters will enhance game immersion.

· Just as Deborah was added in the remake, there's a possibility of a new fourth bride appearing.
· A story about Papas's childhood or a new character inheriting the Zenithian bloodline could be introduced.
· This could be an element that expands on Dragon Quest 5's core themes of 'marriage' and 'family'.

· The companion monster system in Dragon Quest 5 is a key fun element of the game and will likely be maintained.
· Just as the variety of companion monsters has increased in previous remakes, it's expected that more diverse monsters will be added in this remake.
· Similar to the Monster Master feature in Dragon Quest 3 remake, monster-related systems might be enhanced.

· New stories could be added, such as Papas's childhood adventures or the moment Papas departs on his journey.
· There's also a possibility of depicting the 8 years the protagonist's party spends searching for their parents, or the story of Mama's youth.
· Additional scenarios after the ending, or childhood episodes of Bianca, Flora, and Deborah could be included.

· Similar to the Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D remake, it's highly probable that new dungeons, areas, and boss monsters will be added.
· The number of mid-boss level monsters is expected to increase, making the game's challenges more abundant.
· This will provide players with new goals and enjoyment.

· Although there was no announcement on Dragon Quest Day this year, there's hope for an announcement on Dragon Quest Day next year.
· Along with the Switch release of the offline version of Dragon Quest 10, expectations for a Dragon Quest 5 remake are also rising.
· We hope that the new Dragon Quest 5 HD-2D remake will meet fans' expectations.
