What it is
DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined is a modern remake of DRAGON QUEST VII, which originally launched on PlayStation in 2000. In this new reimagined version of the game, the core concept of the original title remains, but the battle mechanics, graphics and story have all been updated and improved, providing players with a more streamlined and focused experience. In particular, the graphics in the game were completely overhauled from the original, using real-life doll figures for the characters and monsters that were scanned into the game to create stunning hand-crafted visuals. This definitive version of the game is perfect for fans who want to revisit the beloved story or newcomers who are diving into the world for the first time.
The premise
As a bright-eyed young fisherman's son, you've lived your entire life on the peaceful island of Estard. Your journey begins with a simple question: is there more to the world than this small island kingdom?
On a quest for answers, you and your childhood friends discover the Shrine of Mysteries and are swept back in time. There, you uncover the shocking truth that entire lands have been sealed away by a malevolent force.
The fate of the world now rests in your hands.
