VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Generally speaking, Dragon Quest VII doesn't need a lot of help getting people excited. Thanks to an emotionally powerful narrative, an extensive class system, and an obscene amount of content — not to mention art from Akira Toriyama and music by Koichi Sugiyama, two masters of their respective crafts — the PlayStation role-playing game has won over millions of fans. Not content to rely on nostalgia alone, however, Square Enix has deployed its hype train to alert as many people as possible about the special qualities of the 2000 game, and how those qualities have been alternately preserved and enhanced in its upcoming remake Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. The hype train's first stop: Manhattan during New York Comic Con last month. I was lucky enough to be on hand for an exclusive 45-minute demo."
Console Creatures writes, "We got more details on Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined detailed the Vocation System, Vicious Monsters, and More."
This is going to be one of those games where you put it on and don't play anything else.
I played the demo and it seemed pretty good, but I've still got Bravely Default to get through before I start Octopath Traveller (I got the 1 + 2 bundle in the Switch sale) so this'll have to wait. Honestly I've never played a DQ game!
Really!?
Based on the games you just listed?
If you play DQ Remake, start with 3.
3 is chronologically 1st and the creators give you an in game gift in 1 and 2 if you play them 3,1, then 2.
Square Enix has released the fifth character trailer for Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, introducing Aishe, a young Roamer determined to restore the Almighty.
There are plenty of promising 2026 RPGs around the corner, from small, gorgeous indies to incredible, massive adventures. Fans of the genre should be excited.
