Why Change Battle Speeds?
While it may seem like a trivial mechanic at first, after playing for any amount of time, you will come to understand why having the ability to change Battle Speed was such a highly-requested addition toDragon Quest 3 Remake.
Given the nature of combat encounters inDQIII,which occur in quick succession whenever you are in specific areas (most of the game), having the ability to speed up those encounters significantly improves overall enjoyment. Eventually, most players will likely prefer the Ultra-Fast speed, as it simply keeps the encounter length to a minimum.
For those that do not mind a slower pace, the Fast speed will still give you time to fully experience each encounter, without the worry that it will becometoomonotonous.
