I don't have time to play Dragon Quest VII.

I really want Dragon Quest VII.

 

[Gravijah]

I'm really looking forward to Dragon Quest VII. Maybe it'll be the first Dragon Quest I actually finish!

DQ fever has hit me hard. Just picked up DQV on PS2 and will play that version for the first time as I start a run through I-VI.

I wish the mobile version of DQI-III were in a single DS/3DS cartbridge, I gotta have dem buttons and it would complete the whole DQ series.

 

[Shouta]

Nah. It's just poorly edited. The translation is pretty decent, and it's perfectly proper English. It's just that you can tell a bunch of different translators worked on it. It needed to be edited for consistency.

This is pretty much it. DQVII for PS1 isn't a bad translation, it just needed editing for consistency. It's actually pretty charming at times, lol.

You could always hack your 3DS and emulate the GB versions.

Funny that I always thought that

Spoiler

the Hero and Jessica had more chemistry and an evolving relationship throughout their adventure more so than the Hero and Medea. So the sudden engagement at the end of the PS2 version felt weird.

But the 3DS version also apparently improves on that by addition additional scenarios with

Spoiler

the Hero and Medea

. Might be hard to choose!

More character development is never bad, I'm so excited to play an enhanced version of DQVIII because watching a playthrough of it due to lack of a PS2 doesn't do me any favors.

I'll hold off on the 3ds version of DQVII, just in case the mobile version gets announced.

Is your reason lack of random encounters in the 3DS version?

 

[Vena]

What the hell?

Spoiler

You can marry Jessica at the end of the game?

Can you do this in the original? I don't remember this being the case.

...

Sold.

This always bugged me in the original.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Well get ready cause Dialec has been cut down to barely have any of the flashbacks even in the Japanese version.

Probably the worst thing about the remake.

What else has been cut besides the first dungeon and most of Dialec?

 

[PumpkinSpice]

I think that's it. FMVs have also been replaced with in-engine cutscenes but that's more like a massive improvement.

Hmmm...does that mean

Spoiler

Medea ended up marrying Prince Charmles?

Because if it is, lol.

No, Hero still rescues Medea from the marriage as a friend

I put over 100 hours into DQIX and loved it but I'll always have a preference for the more character driven DQ games like IV and VIII over ones like III and IX where your party is the hero and a bunch of faceless mercenaries you pick up at a bar.

True, VII is just one of the best and longest rpgs of all time. Tons of smaller stories and options that give you that quest feeling

Preorders are up at Best Buy for those with GCU that were holding out.
