Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Dragon Quest VII has always been the series’ most ambitious yet flawed entry, a sweeping time-travel epic slowed by pacing and technical limitations. Now,
It is strange to me that in the end, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is better for new players to Dragon Quest than existing fans. I would think that the “VII” next to the title would put off those newcomers, who would assume that they would be coming in six titles too late. More to the point, no RPG trading on nostalgia – port, remake, or entirely new game – should overlook the existing fans entirely. Dragon Quest VII Reimagined makes some very smart decisions with the narrative and gameplay, and is so very close to the perfect version of the masterpiece thanks to that, but players have t…
Whether it will bring on those who couldn't get through the original or not, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is a finely honed role-playing game and a fitting retake on a divisive classic.
Another swing and a hit from Square Enix and the Dragon Quest franchise. Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined streamlines the entire experience and provides plenty of quality-of-life updates that I wish every studio would implement into their games. The visuals and sound design are once again in the higher echelon, and game's combat is still just as enjoyable as Dragon Quest combat always is.
A slow burn reverent reconstruction, where lost worlds, deliberate design, and timeless role playing values prove that patience is still the most powerful mechanic of all.
The PlayStation legend is back in a new guise. The mammoth RPG has lost weight and added a nice pace.
Lowell Bell goes on an incredible journey in the Gamer Guides review for Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined
A gorgeous remake of a classic JRPG that many players missed out on, this version of Dragon Quest VII swings hard towards accessibility (and might actually overshoot the mark a little bit). Visually gorgeous, with a fun episodic structure, this is a great way for fans to revisit this story or encounter it for the first time. My only caveat is a warning to be very careful with the "Quality of Life" settings, which make it entirely too easy to break the game, removing all of the challenge (and therefore all of the fun).

A review of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, a new version of the iconic jRPG game created for the original PlayStation by Enix.
The only downside to Reimagined is how much hand-holding it has. It feels like the game is trying not to scare off new players, making sure every point lands no matter what, but there are times when it's all too much. Most players will get the tutorials quickly, but Reimagined keeps explaining anyway, and it starts to feel never-ending.
Dragon Quest 7: Reimagined is easily recommended for JRPG fans, though everyone else may want to approach with caution. The drawn-out storyline keeps you playing but doesn't quite convince you of the game's greatness, which could be a turnoff for gamers who aren't happy grinding their way through side stories.
