Clinic Takes Day Off For Dragon Quest 3 Remake

Key Takeaways

  • Japanese clinic shut down due to Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake launch excitement.
  • The game offers new scenarios and vocations beyond just visual improvements.
  • Gaming culture in Japan allows for time off for anticipated game releases.



A Japanese clinic shut its doors for the day because of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake launching. The Dragon Quest series has been massive in Japan since day 1, and based on the attitude of this clinic, it seems that even redux entries like Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake are a major cause for celebration.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake has been long awaited by fans, originally being teased way back in 2021. The game goes beyond adding polish to the original, as in addition to Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake‘s refreshed battle settings and redone visuals, the game also features brand-new scenarios and vocations to enjoy. Dragon Quest 3 had a huge impact on gaming when it originally released, selling over a million copies on its day of launch, so it stands to reason fans would be excited about the new version.

Square Enix has taken one of the most beloved Dragon Quest games and given it a heavy visual uplift along with a slew of quality-of-life improvements.

Now, the Cura Chiropractic clinic in Tokyo, Japan has shuttered its doors for the day with an apology. According to a note left on the door and sent out by the clinic’s official social media account, the clinic had to close for the day because all of its employees had changed their Jobs to “Hero,” referencing the vocation and role of the Dragon Quest 3 main character. Whether it was the clinic’s idea or genuinely a case of all of the employees wanting to take the day off for the game, it’s an amusing sight to see, though hardly the first instance of workers taking time off to play a new game or on a new console.



An Appropriate Closure for a Gamer Clinic

As pointed out by Nintendo Life, Cura Clinic takes its name from the Final Fantasy healing spell. The clinic is apparently especially intended for otaku, so the closure makes even more sense in context, though a clinic named after a Dragon Quest healing spell would have been even more perfect. However, it’s hardly limited to places where otaku congregate, as even game developers have offered time off for major games like Elden Ring.

Video games are a big deal in much of the world these days, but Japan has a history of making way for big hit releases. In 2021, for example, a Japanese employer gave workers the day off so they could enjoy Monster Hunter Rise. Even when Square Enix was rapidly approaching the release date of its own Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail expansion, the company saw fit to move the date of its release in order to give players more time to enjoy Elden Ring before committing to spending time in the MMORPG’s new content. With any luck, those “Heroes” are enjoying their day off with the game.
