Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Game Streams 3rd Adventure Log Highlighting Vocations

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined: A New Adventure Awaits
Square Enix is gearing up to release Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, a complete overhaul of the classic RPG, Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past. This isn't just a simple port; it's a ground-up remake that promises to deliver a fresh and engaging experience for both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
Release Date and Platforms
Mark your calendars for February 5th, as that's when Dragon Quest VII Reimagined will be launching on a wide range of platforms. You'll be able to play it on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store on Windows.
Third Adventure Log Video Showcases Vocations
To further build anticipation, Square Enix has released the third adventure log video. This video focuses specifically on the vocation system, a key element of Dragon Quest VII. Players will be able to see the various classes available and get a glimpse of how they impact gameplay.
Playable Demo Now Available
If you're eager to try the game before its official release, a playable demo is already available since January 7th. The best part is that your progress from the demo will carry over to the full game, so you won't have to start from scratch. As an added bonus, players who complete the demo will receive a Day Off Dress for Maribel as a reward.
Enhanced Story and New Mechanics
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined isn't just a visual upgrade; it also features an enhanced story that streamlines the overall experience. The developers have also introduced a "Moonlighting" mechanic, which allows characters to have two vocations at once, adding a new layer of depth to character customization. A "Monster Master" vocation has also been added. Furthermore, the remake includes various quality-of-life improvements designed to make the game more enjoyable for modern players.
Collector's and Digital Deluxe Editions
For those who want the ultimate Dragon Quest VII Reimagined experience, there are special editions available. The Collector's Edition includes a SteelBook case, a Smile Slime plush, a ship in a bottle figure, and three paid DLC packs. The Digital Deluxe Edition features 48 hours of early access, a unique costume for Ruff, and the same three DLC packs as the Collector's Edition.
A Remake Separate from the 3DS Version
It's important to note that Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is a separate project from the Nintendo 3DS remake, Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past. While both are based on the original PlayStation game, they offer distinct experiences. This new remake is built from the ground up, featuring updated graphics, enhanced gameplay mechanics, and a reimagined story.
History of Dragon Quest VII
The original Dragon Quest VII game was released for the PlayStation in Japan in 2000 and in North America in 2001. It was a massive undertaking, known for its lengthy story and complex gameplay systems. In 2013, Square Enix released a 3DS remake in Japan, followed by a Western release in 2016. The 3DS version featured updated graphics and a new translation for Western audiences.
Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remakes
Interestingly, Square Enix has also been working on other Dragon Quest remakes. The "HD-2D" remakes of Dragon Quest I & II launched on October 30th for Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Windows. These remakes combine classic gameplay with modern HD-2D visuals, creating a unique and nostalgic experience.
