Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake: How To Save Your Game
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, a full remake of the RPG classic, is finally here for consoles and PC platforms. If you're new to the series and starting with this one or have been playing these games for a while, you're probably wondering how to save your game and whether Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake has autosaving.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake does have autosaving, but the implementation isn't like some other games. You can and should also make use of the manual save system included. I'm going to cover both of those here since you're better off learning how these work to save yourself time while playing.
When does Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake autosave?
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake automatically saves when you enter a town or dungeon, after battles, and more. The autosave system is very robust, and I've had to make use of it when my PC game froze after a battle pre-release. This autosave slot is overwritten very often so don't rely on it completely and make sure to manually save.

When can you save in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake?
When you first start a new game, you need to go through a few cut-scenes and the personality test where you answer questions. After this, there are a few more cut-scenes before you gain control of your character. This is when the first autosave happens. After you go meet the King and watch another cut-scene, you can leave the castle.
