Considering how large this game is and what Terry's Wonderland 3D looked like, the screens do look much nicer than expected. I'm interested to see what kind of changes they brought to the table. The little vignettes are what breathe life and character into the Dragon Quest worlds, and DQ7 is the entry that delivers the most in that respect.
It's a little weird to see so many constantly compare every Dragon Quest game to 8. Was that a lot of people's introduction in the series?
While I'm interested, is it just me, or does Dragon Quest VIII look a lot better than that? This seems pretty underwhelming
I really hope they release DQI+II and DQIII on the 3DS Virtual Console. Then I can do DQ1-7 marathon if this is released in the west.
But nope, won't ever happen since that would involve editing the title screen of the games to say Quest instead of Warrior.
Fuck you Square.
I wouldn't put it past Square to not localize this game.
Sure it does, but VIII was made from the ground up for PS2, plus it was the wizards of Level-5 at work there, also we all know the PS2 was a powerhouse for graphics that seems to still be unmatched on current handhelds (half sarcastic there)
Nintendo has been pushing the DQ series and Monster Hunter series here, and with MH being announced for localization for 3DS and Wii U, I'd imagine DQVII has a likely chance I hope.
Didn't even think of that. Awesome!This looks fantastic. And I think the over-the-shoulder view in battles is going be amazingly well-suited for 3D.
Now people are complaining about the art direction? At least have some familiarity with the original game before making yourself look ignorant.
You're acting like they couldn't create a new art style for the character designs.
You're being sarcastic, right?
Not really, unless all you have is IX, and even then its better looking than that.Looks like all the DQ games I had on my DS.
Just realized I didn't put any of the battle menu shots in there so I added them. Battles start in first-person and the camera pulls out for the action.
6 and 7 have the same art style, with art direction by the same person. The same person who is the art director for this remake too.Explain.
If you mean that the Dragon Quest series has always had the same art style, that doesn't apply to Dragon Quest 7 because the original's art direction had a different art style over the previous games already. I'd rather have the Dragon Quest 1-6 art style back for the DQ7 remake.
The quality of content in DQ7 is pretty uniform, IMO.That's ok in my book, if it means they cut some of the worse content i am all for a more streamlined experience, especially when the game is AS long as some people here are mentioning. Who has time for such a humungous RPG nowadays?

6 just happened to be 2D instead of 3D.
If you're talking about the character art, I dunno. DQ7's isn't that great, but I don't think the style is all that different. Toriyama isn't a particularly versatile artist.When I compare the character art of Dragon Quest 6 and Dragon Quest 7, they look night and day to me. The faces and bodies of the DQ7 characters look more scrunched together.
Removing any of the story content would make it a pretty huge failure in my eyes.the screens shots looks fine to me
I just want them to shorten the story

not bad, not bad at all.

Honestly, I think the 3DS port looks much better.
That's VII, not VIII.

Artiepiazza isn't level 5, just look at DQ VIII vs DQ V PS2. They neither have the wizardry or budget to make a game on par with VIII graphically.
