"It's most likely worth noting that it's more expensive than you think. In that respect, it's an excellent fit for the kind of games we expect from Square Enix D2R Ladder Items. It's possible that there's nothing to gain from the other companies that are copying it," Asano told 4gamer.Fortunately, that cost isn't stopping Square Enix from releasing more games that follow this model.
One of the remakes for Live a Live is set to be exclusive to Nintendo Switch in July, and a remake of Dragon Quest III is currently in the process of being made. There are plenty of other games that could benefit from the design, and it will be interesting to observe the next game Square Enix does with HD-2D next. Although the company has evidently committed to this design, Asano went on to clarify that there is no current "definitive text," and it will be evolving as games change.
"We haven't put together something similar to the one we have. The way it's expressed differs from title to title, so the HD-2D flavor will be slightly different every time. In the case of Live A Live for example it's the prehistoric setting that's different. prehistoric portion will be different from the sci-fi scene.
The range of expression we offer has been widened by the innovative ideas we've devised. "While the price might be prohibitive for some developers, HD-2D certainly has been a major selling point for many gamers. Hopefully, we'll continue to watch Square Enix find new ways to further develop the style and create more games to be released!
