- after the remakes of Terry's Wonderland 3D and Dragon Quest Monsters 2, Yuji Horii asked the team what should be next - the choices were Caravan Heart (GBA), a professional version of Dragon Quest Monsters 2, or a brand new game - the staff made the plot together with Takeshi Uchikawa (who is currently directing Dragon Quest XI)- the suggestion was to make the theme become something catchy, which lead to a science fiction vibe - Horii said «anything's alright as long as it's interesting» - the creation of the Dragon Quest Monsters: Super Light helped
build Joker 3 - fan feedback from the
mobile game was used, which lead to monster stats being seen - the Reactor device lets you easily see all the things that occur on the field - the team had some trouble bringing together the ridable monsters aspect of the game, but eventually worked it out - the full game starts off with monsters that players can ride on land - you'll eventually unlock sea, air, and multi-jump land rising monsters - a «Big Air ride» was teased as well - by clearing the story, features will be unlocked that further modify monsters such as abilities and changing their sizes - Stealth Boxes which can not be found without using the Reactor only contains useful items that are optional - compulsory items that are needed to be found with the Reactor are placed in non-stealth locations -
accessories can strengthen monsters, but monster strength is mainly determined from raising and combining them - features more offense - related content in the form of new spells and skills - new water - type spells are included - new skills added enable more detailed adjustments in versus, adding more strategic features - one of the items that can be bought with Communication Coins has the same effect with «Key of Encounters» - this lets players recruit monsters a bit more easily they've befriended before - since Communication Coins can only be obtained from multiplayer battles, it's completely optional - people who still do StreetPass but don't want to do multiplayer battles can still get them by combining monsters - DLC monsters are planned to be added regularly post-release until around Golden Week (April 29 — May 5)- - A national tournament is also planned, with more details coming later - carryover feature from Dragon Quest Monsters 2 that comes into play after the ending - players can bring up to 10 monsters which are ranked A or below from DQM2 to DQMJ3 each day
