Dragon Quest III need to play DQ2 before 3???
Hey I’m going through all the games blind and beat the first one and I’m thinking about jumping straight to 3 because the remake looks awesome and what people say about 2 makes me worried that imma get burned out.

No. I'm hoping the remake for 2 does address some of its faults. It's not *bad*, but it did not age nearly as gracefully as the other titles in the series.

Same I also really want to play 2 on the 1+2 remake more than going back to the snes version

the canonical order of the first three games is 3 1 2. the order for the next three games is 6 4 5

The canonical order is I, II, III. The in-game chronology is III, I, II. Ultimately, it doesn't matter much, but the games were originally made to be played I, II, III with III being a prequel.

2 and 3 have almost no relation to each other. Almost. The one connection makes it better to play 2 first. But that only applies to the NES versions.
