First Dragon Quest 7 (3DS) trailer
- Thread starter Magicpaint
- Start date
Split to new thread.
It looks pretty awesome. The animations are great, just as I expected. Arte Piazza is wonderful. It's so cool to see so many iconic scenes redone this way. The trailer even shows the dancing FMV redone with the in-engine graphics!
Also nice to see total confirmation on the way the battles work now. I think that's a really good compromise for DQ - keeps the speed up while still allowing people to see their characters.

Ooh, that looks noice. :O
Will it come outside Japan ?
After Bravely Default extreme case, of one of the best Square games ever not making it to US, i have become very dissapointed at all the games that are for 3DS but we will never get to play
It is so frustrating
Is there any chance US.Wurope get this one ? Or will we be left with the trailer, like in Bravely Default case

some of that texture work... looks quite similar to the ds engine. What are the ods for localization?
Isn't the script huge?

Little too soon to say Bravely Default is never coming over. I think both that and DQ7 will make it over eventually. It might take a while though.
I'm sorry, but you're crazy if you think that texture work looks like the DS games. It's much higher resolution than that - much closer to DQ5 PS2.
And yeah, the script is huge.

Wow, what a long video!
The fights look really smooth. Animations seem to take just as long as one would want them to. So many amazing 3DS RPGs coming out...maybe they'll come over to NA? :-/

I really hope this gets localized.
I dont know, i am loosing faith with these titles
It is like FF Type-0 and Grand Knight History and the latest interviews about Bravely Default were not at all encouraging either
It is like the best handheld games have become a Japan only thing

It looks better, but it still reminds me a bit of how ds does 3d. Like that ummm... forgot the technical term.
Looks like someone painting a pixely image over a polygon model look.

I was right, I love the Phantasy Starish battles. Game looks great I just hope it doesn't have that speedy feeling that the ds versions had. This is my favorite DQ after all.

Looks pretty great.
I only got around to picking up the PS1 version of this last year, and still haven't really put any time in with it yet (same deal with 8 for PS2, which I got around the same time last year), they're the only two in the series I really haven't put time in with yet. I've been meaning to get to them, and on one hand, I would be much more likely to do so with a portable version, but at the same time, I still feel like I can't just say, "Well, I'll just wait for it to come out here..." Really hope it does come out here though.

Okay thanks and yeah the animations are really good and the battles indeed look fast enough (was a bit worried about that). Also surprised at how much effort is going into the in-game events; but yeah DQVII scenarios definitely deserve this treatment.
There's texture filtering here, though, so it's not really pixelated. There are definitely some fairly blurry textures though, mostly on the field.
The 720p video is kinda pixelated, but I think that's mainly because of the upscale and not actually in the game. I think it looks better at the 640x360 size, and probably truer to how it'll look on the 3DS.

Looks damn good.
Battle screen animations are great.

Hmm.
Something about it doesn't look very smooth, like there are frames of animation missing or something. Having trouble putting my finger on it.
It'll be really cool to hear DQVII's music in orchestral form in-game. I really like the upbeat "restored" town theme.
Aeana, any concerns on whether or not the vignettes will be like the ones in DQVI DS, that is, they'll fly by too quickly and lose impact? It seems like the chances of that will be even greater here, given the length of the original game.

Looks lovely. So, SE, western announcement? :3
Disagree. Are you watching it at 720p or something?
I think it's the video, because it's not even consistent where the choppiness is.
Right.
I ended up clocking around 120 hours on the PS1 version.

Costume changes for the job system are a very welcome addition, and the battles look nice and fast.
And not that it's any surprise, but the dancing scene looks so much better than the original's.

Thanks! That was glorious. I hope they release this here. I own the original and never got a chance to play it, this looks great.
Wow, now that's a long game.

That running speed is ridiculously fast!
And the battles seem seem almost as fast as the DS games set to max, which was my big concern.
Oh man oh man oh man.

Looks INCREDIBLE! I'm so glad they continue to explore the amazing visual capabilities of this series instead of hanging so hard onto the "old school" visuals.

So does that music mean they'll use the symphonic score in the game?
