>Enhanced Story - While remaining faithful to the original story, the narrative of DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined has been enhanced to provide a more streamlined story experience. Alongside the main adventure, players can enjoy optional side quests, stories and minigames.Yep cut content baby>Thrilling Battle System - The turn-based battle system has been overhauled with significant changes to offer more dynamic and thrilling battles, including an updated vocation system that features a “Moonlighting” mechanic, allowing players to use two vocations at one, a “Let Loose” ability that can be activated when a character gets worked up, and a new "Monster Master" vocation that introduces the “Positive Reinforcement” vocational perk that summons powerful monsters to assault any enemy.Casualised and piss easy fight
>>12021298they look like nu-pixar slop.
>>12021298Why are they skipping like games? Why 7 that already got a remake on 3ds?
>>12021298They got rid of the monster transformation jobs, too.>>12021318Because they don't want to have to commit to remaking an entire trilogy again, at least not yet.
>>12021306Mixed with Toriyama's cross-eyed syndrome.
>>12021365The monster jobs were half assed and redundant, good riddance
just wait ten years for them to remake this shitty fucking game yet another time. meanwhile the actually good SNES and ps1 games gather dust and get nothing but 0 effort, downgraded remasters if theyre lucky. holy shit I truly hate this corporation with every fiber of my being.
Not retro
>>12021298>Casualised and piss easy fightWas it a hard game in the first place? Legit question I've never played either version of 7.>>12021458>meanwhile the actually good SNES and ps1 games gather dustIf the game is already good it doesn't need a remake. Remake shitty games to improve them instead. That said, I don't know if that's the case here.
>>12021298Didn't they fucking just remake this on 3DS? How about localization of the offline remake of 10, you fish stinky japs?
>>12021298Shit, without Toriyama's touch this looks so creepy. Except the girl on the far left, she looks so fucking goofy it is making me hold back a giggle.
>>12021589>Didn't they fucking just remake this on 3DS?>justIn 2013, over a decade ago
>>12021298not retro not my problem I dont come to this board to talk about what some corporation is doing in 2025
>>12021589>offline remake of 10Doesn't that only let you play the first two campaigns in chibi graphics before making you subscribe to continue?
>>12021701That would be extremely retarded, but its square-anus, so maybe.
>>12021298This looks horrible. What the fuck? This game already has a remake and isn't even close to the one that needs a remake the most (DQ9).Not only that, but there is no fucking way I'm playing this game again. I really don't want squeenix to go bankrupt but the constant barage of retarded decisions like this it making it hard to feel bad for them.
>>12021619And yet here you are, posting in this thread, talking about how much you don't care about what some corporation is doing in 2025.
>>12021726the point of my reply is this is an offtopic thread and should not be tolerated.
>>12021730Remakes of retro games are allowed discussion.
Whatever you think about the game, it doesn't hide the fact that the posts are of extremely low quality.
>>12021597Meanwhile 4 5 and 6 had remakes on thr ds almost 20 years ago.Not only that but 7 got special treatment with it's 3ds remake, I'm starting to think it's Yuji's favorite
I respect Horii for keeping the essence of Dragon Quest intact for 30+ despite everything else turning brown and hypercasualized but he really needs to tardwrangle squeenix harder.
Do you think they will ever remake Dragon Quest IV? I really loved that one, especially the episodic storytelling. What about the others? If Square Enix were invested enough and confident in its success, I could see them remaking Dragon Quest V on the scale of Dragon Quest XI. That reminds me, I have not heard anything about Dragon Quest XII in ages. The last thing I remember was Yuji Horii saying it would be a drastic departure from the usual formula, which probably means either semi turn based with real time action or a full blown ARPG, and we already have more than enough of those.
>>12021761Probably a HD remake alongside the
>>12021724>I really don't want squeenix to go bankruptWhy wouldn't you? These morons haven't made anything worthwhile since the Squaresoft days.
I just think it's funny that they've released 3 remakes and announced another one in the time 12 was announced and still nothing but the logo has been shown.
>>12021758At this rate, Horii's just waiting to follow Toriyama and Sugiyama and so he doesn't really care anymore.
>>12021298>Another bothered remakeWhat does "bothered" remake mean?
>>12021807It was butcheredI misspelled sorry
>>12021807og touched remake and that why he quiet
>>12021573>Was it a hard game in the first place? Legit question I've never played either version of 7.DQ7 is among the easiest DQ games, OP is being a faggot, same shit with the retards calling the DQ3 remake woke when censorship has been present in DQ since day one.
>>12021771It's not common at all but they occasionally come out with bangers. Kawazu's remasters are kino as well.
>>12021298Wasn't DQ7 the one where it takes like four or five hours on a blind playthrough to reach the FIRST BATTLE?
>>12021947I would say 2 hours but yeah, odd choice for a remake
>>12021961>>12021947How do you fuck up pacing in an RPG that bad? Is it like a massive exposition in the middle of fleeing a war or something?
>>12021963Basically, there's a LOT of moving between the starting village, the castle town, and the temple with its multiple floors and rooms to navigate before the action finally starts, and a lot of exposition to go with it. This was likely just to show off how much more they can do on a CD compared to a cartridge.
>>12021761>will they ever remake DQ IVthey already did, twice. we really, really dont need new versions of these overrated games every other console gen. we dont need anything besides the NES original, which is still the best.
>>12021979and its literally the best part of the game, its setting up a really epic and mysterious journey instead of the usual DQ generic and boring start. having a puzzle only first dungeon was a really cool and well executed idea. too bad once you get to the meat of the game (100 hour macguffin search with constant meaningless vignettes that are rarely interesting on their own) it becomes shit, AND the 3ds remake streamlines the beginning to remove all of the interesting shit, as no doubt this latest trannymake will as well.
>>12021947>>12021963Even the magazine reviews at the time would praise the game and go "holy SHIT you are NOT prepared for how LONG this game is GODDAMN"
As much as they have overplayed the HD-2D style, they really should just make an ORIGINAL new DQ game in that look. Call it Dragon Quest Gaiden or some shit. Just make something new that isnt a spin-off or a remake. I do wonder if SE is preparing to just keep puppeting the corpse of the franchise once the last key creator kicks the bucket, or if they are just going to let it die off at that point...
>>12022462After DQ12, Dragon Quest is going to be nothing but spin-offs and remakes. Horii simply won't make any major new games without his buddies, and he likely knows he'll be joining them shortly.
>>12021298>>12021573>decade of /vr/ shitting on DQVII and saying the remake that cuts content and uses non-Toriyama designs is better>new remake that cuts content and uses original Toriyama designs>immediate ragebait and seetheSo the issue is Toriyama?
>>12021730And what's bitching going to accomplish? Report it to the jannies if you hate it so much
>>12023196>>12023196Toriyama was an illustrator. He never made sprites or character models. All existing DQ games use his designs
>>12023313I honestly have no idea what your theoretical point is.Yeah, he was an illustrator, and his illustrations typically inform the remakes.DQVII 3DS is a mix of 2010s era Toriyama designs (which is why the art is so different from the original) and assistants. It's very obvious a large majority of the redesigns were done by guys like Nakatsuru rather than Toriyama himself, similar to how Sugiyama's protege is typically tasked with new compositions in smaller titles.
>>12021701Yeah that actually is what this offline version is aboutAnd sadly, playing the actual DQX if you don't speak Japanese isn't really worth the hassle imo
>>12021298Is it still going to be a 100 hour tedious slog?>>12021458>meanwhile the actually good SNES and ps1 games gather dust and get nothingDragon Quest V got remade TWICE and both remakes are good in their own way, what the fuck more do you want?
>>12023473They're calling for a lot of "streamlining", so it'll likely be shorter than even the prior 3DS remake.
Remakecucks are the saddest of the newfag farmables.
Two theories about why they're doing 7 instead of 4-61) caravan hearts remake may be around the corner, and Kiefer is a character in that game2) they're showing off their new 3d engine that they're going to remake 8 and 9 with. They'll probably be releasing the 3D games alongside the "HD2D" remakes of the zenithian trilogy.>>12021597To be fair, we didn't get it until 2016 or 2017
>>12023656>CH remakeHoly based can't wait to see all the cute and funny versions of the classes in 3d
>>12021573DQVII isn't hard, it's tedious as fuck, it takes a legit 3 hours to get to the first fight, there is a shit load of backtracking back to the original town, more backtracking than any game ever and it's time travel story so you have to visit each new area twice, past and present. It takes a conservative estimate 30 hours just to unlock the game's job system and primary mechanic all this on top of the standard DQ grind for gold or levels and random battles. The PS1 version is smooth enough the load times aren't unbearable. Now the DS version already streamlined the game by removing the opening dungeons and giving the player access to teleports early and an overhaul to the overworld akin to DQ'S VIII, IX and XI which makes the game easier to traverse but it added a shit ton of optional post game content and shit locked behind Nintendo's dumb as fuck Streetpass when you'll never meet another person in the West who has a copy of DQVII.
>>12023196This doesn't even make sense.
>>12023656>1) caravan hearts remake may be around the corner, and Kiefer is a character in that gameDoubt it.If they were remaking Caravan Heart, it would've been on the 3DS, where they remade DQM1&2 as well as DQVII.I do believe the theory that VII is happening now because Horii has been pushing the greater narrative of the Roto trilogy- including some winks and nods to the Emblem of Roto manga.That manga is getting a TL from SE now, and that manga ties to DQVII's manga- DQVII's manga and Caravan Heart both make connections to the Roto Trilogy.Essentially, it would make the last few years of numbered DQ look like this>Dragon Quest XI>Dragon Quest III>Dragon Quest I>Dragon Quest II>Dragon Quest VIIA pseudo-linear narrative of different stories in the same world, following descendants of a legendary line (as Kiefer's supposed ancestor is Midenhall). Additionally, 4-6 would be one large project like 1-3's current remakes. They are always treated as a package, not separate entries.My predictions for what comes next in numbered DQ:>Dragon Quest XIIThis could take longer, but I think it'll be next>Dragon Quest VIII RemasteredThis one does not need a remake, it still looks like XI a fair bit. Maybe touch up the textures and add a bloom filter, I dunno, but I don't see it being a remake.>Dragon Quest 4-6I think these will be 3D remakes, not HD2D. No real basis for that beyond gut feeling.>Dragon Quest 9 ReimaginedThis would be the last thing to be touched of the mainline, as DQX effectively does a lot that IX would be doing, just on a larger MMO scale. I imagine it would be made to be more fun single player, with online as the big feature.
>>12024015>Essentially, it would make the last few years of numbered DQ look like thisOutside of the numbered entries, you also had the Builders games connected to the same world.
>>12024068Yeah. The series has been shockingly Rubiss focused for a while.
>>12021298ok but if I post a PSP on here I'm banned for a week.
>>12024070This series juggles so many creation gods as it is.
>>120236568 doesn't need a remake, it just needs a "complete" version that has the graphics and sound of the PS2 version with the bonus content of the 3DS version
>>12024875I dunno... given how this 7 remake seems to be doing its own thing instead of following the 3DS one, it feels likely that another DQ8 remake will demote Red and Morrie back to NPCs in favor of something elss.
