Square Enix Releases Screenshots For Dragon Quest VII Overhaul
Square Enix has been putting out practically every other main Dragon Quest game on DS, so it seems natural that they’d work on a new version of Dragon Quest VII for 3DS. The game was originally released in America as Dragon Warrior VII for PS1, all the way back in 2000, where it was met with only moderate attention, possibly due to an overly lengthy quest and sprite graphics. If it isn’t obvious from these new screenshots, the sprites are gone, replaced with full 3D graphics.
I’m a huge fan of sprites over 3D graphics, but even I think that the original game didn’t look that great, so it’s good to see some life breathed into the aesthetics. There’s no word on an English localization yet, but Square Enix and Nintendo have been pretty good about bringing over past remakes, so I’d imagine this will also get a US release.
