Overview
- Square Enix’s guidelines ask players not to post or stream gameplay after Dragon Quest II’s second credits until November 29, with possible takedown requests for violations.
- The rules prohibit cutscene‑only or music‑only videos, require spoiler warnings on plot‑heavy content, and ask creators to include a copyright notice naming Square Enix and Sugiyama Kobo.
- The release arrives October 30 on PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, with no free Switch‑to‑Switch 2 upgrade and no save transfer between versions.
- Early reviews are broadly positive, praising the HD‑2D presentation, orchestral recordings, voice acting, and quality‑of‑life updates; Famitsu scored the package 34/40.
- Critics say Dragon Quest II receives the most substantial expansion with new story beats, areas, and a new party member, while Dragon Quest I adds multi‑enemy battles and other refinements.
