Dragon Quest 7 remake for the 3DS

[BigusSchmuck]

My DW7 for the PS1 is owned, but backlogged way back to hell... Heh. I loved I-IV for the NES, good times, and I had hoped to get into the SNES versions when they got properly fan-translated, but I lost interest eventually.

Is 7 independent of all the others ? Would you miss much if you just jumped right into it ?

I would say yeah it is... 4,5,6 are connected, 7 is a separate beast. Might be connected with 8 or 9, can't recall on the top of my head.

I really want to try this out but the length and likelyhood of me finishing it makes me hesitant to spend 40$ on it right now.

I loved DQ 1-2 on nes, eventually got 3 and 4 but never got around to playing them. I did play through 1 and 2 again on gameboy color, but somehow hit a road block and never finished it.

5 on the DS is what is coaxing me the most to pick this one up. The monster design and animation in 5 is just gorgeous and I put about 80hrs into hat but also was defeated by distraction and never finished it.

The 3DS' RPG library, even without considering the DS back catalogue, is just ridiculous. I have been popping between Fire Emblem Awakening, Xenoblade Chronicles,  and 7th Dragon III Code VFD

Well I beat the game around the 120 hour mark.


My left arm/shoulder seems to be aching from sitting and holding the 3DS XL at an angle for long periods >_>


since I last took this screenshot I maxed out that sheep job



I still need to get a few more fragments for the extra dungeons but I think I need to let my arm rest a bit...

Only this remake version resembles 8 and 9. The features they added makes this game very replayable compared to the original. Play them all. if they ever brought DQ X to the US id probably waste my life in it.
