Dragon Quest VII coming to Japanese 3DS' [February 7th, 2013]
- Thread starter Takao
- Start date
There's still a lot of random battles and going from a to b, it's just usually a lot more interesting than just getting to a new area with new palette swaps.

Still plenty of time to fight, though. This game is ridiculously long, even compared to other Dragon Quest games.
There was intentional hyperbole in my post, but the game is like five billion hours long so it might take a tad longer than normal.

It's only 3 billion hours long. Clearly you never played it!

OH HAPPY DAYYYYYYYYYYY!!! \o/
EDIT:
Wait, does that mean that DQ8 will sooner or later come to 3DS, too?!
I...this...but...My mind isn't even able to comprehend this...

I'm glad to see this. DQ VII is a game I've been very curious to try for a long time, as descriptions of it sound enticing to me, and if this is a nice-looking full 3D remake, that could be the ideal way to play. It's too bad we have to be worried about its localization chances in the present climate...

well, if they don't cut anything it will be one of the greatest game ever.
hopefully it's sometime next summer because, lord knows, nintendo consoles need games around that time.
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Echoes of Time.
Give that Pollux Engine another run-out.

Yeah, it's not a problem for me, I actually like standard RPG gameplay (if the fighting system is nice), as long as it doesn't feel like a chore and has some interesting other gameplay bits in between (and puzzles being especially welcome considering I'm a huge fan of Zelda-like Adventure games). I've played the original Pokémon games for around 1500 hours back in the day and completing Sonic Adventure 2 took me about 180 hours on my first run, so I can stand excessive game length - even with some really weak parts in between.
Any thoughts on that little purple guy between Hero and Kiefer? I don't remember him, but it's been a while since I've played it.
that would be amazing
He's new. The info blurb isn't particularly informative either. We'll just have to wait and see.
I guess they realized it would be a stretch to call it a remake if it was running on the exact same engine. I wish DQ6 had gotten more of an enhanced port though, those sprite environments are beautiful.

Any chance of this getting localized?

I wish but I can't see that ever happening. VS is pretty much a cult classic as far as SE is concerned and not even worth a sequel
9 is kind of different from other DQs in the way the story is presented, but it's similar in a lot of ways too. There's far more character given to your party members like in 4, 5, and 6 (try these if you can, I recommend 5 the most).
I did like it quite a bit, but never finished it and have my fair share of complaints about it. The story pacing was fairly bad to me, in general terms (more sidequest-y things than in any RPG I have played, even if it ended up "making sense"), and this was the only DQ where I felt the grind was legitimately terrible due to how the class system/character introductions worked
Maribel randomly leaving for a while pissed me off quite a bit when I was trying to make her a Sage for example. It felt like it took me freaking FOREVER to make her an established healer for my group so suddenly having to do that AGAIN with another character to stand a chance against some of the following bosses was bullsh*t to me
If they remake the Class system to make the Job grind feel less punishing, the majority of my complaints with the game will be gone, however, and even then I enjoyed it very much.

Nice. Will play again, hopefully I won't get lost this time. f^_^;
I think chances are high. But not high enough to be sure.
I don't think battle speed will be an issue, given it's portable. The other portable DQs are sleek and streamlined compared to their original installments.

If only Europe gets more Japanese games.
Damn region lock.
Ohh...you got a European 3DS...with that avatar. At least DQ7 will be guaranteed to come out in Europe if they release it in the US.
Just take it with you.

Yes, that was especially dumb.
I bought the first EO in Europe, II and III were imported. I'll probably miss IV though. ;_;
Honestly, it'd be more likely to come out in Europe than the US anyway, since the series tends to do better there. I would not be shocked if it ended up being one of those Europe-only deals.

Can't wait XD They better localise this...
I played through about 100 hours and only did about 5/8 of the original. I really liked how (like some users have mentioned) exploration works in this game. You start off on the only remaining island in the world and slowly unlocks more islands and continents as you find these mysterious tablets. Each place offers a new adventure and a new mystery/problem to solve. It was always rather exciting. The pacing and grind eventually got to me thoigh and I never completed the game. I hope the large amount of text and content doesn't stop SE from translating this
I think that was roughly where I stopped...I got tired of grinding for job levels.

So long PS Vista.
People like to rag on the pacing of DQ7, but the pacing isn't the problem at all. The game isn't slow. The problem is that it has enough content for 2+ games, so it feels like it drags on because of that. But if you're looking at each individual scenario, they go by at a fairly brisk pace.
I'd personally fly to the US and give Reggie a kick in the......state my opinion.
Play 5 if you can find it.
I disagree slightly on this; the beginning up until the first battle is poorly paced and it takes far too long to unlock class changing. Besides that though? I basically agree.
Also it has enough content for 3 games.
Faster battles please.
Anyway 2013 vita dead in Japan with this....unless ff7 remake comes to vita IMHO
Back it: IMHO 7 is the best dq content wise. I stopped replaying it due to backtracking but a remake in the same spirit of the other ds remakes would fix all the faults of original (long battles and backtracking). Just do it Se and I will buy my last dq (since after 7 the franchise went downhill content wise)
