DRAGON QUEST VII

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past is an expansive, traditional JRPG that sends players on a time-traveling quest to restore a world that has mysteriously lost most of its continents. You play as a young fisherman’s son from the isolated Estard Island, who, together with his friends, discovers ancient stone tablets that serve as gateways to the past. By visiting these lost civilizations, solving their crises, and defeating the monsters threatening them, you gradually rewrite history and bring the missing lands back to the present. Featuring a classic turn-based battle system, a robust vocation (job) system, and a sprawling narrative that unfolds over dozens of hours, Dragon Quest VII emphasizes exploration, character growth, and richly detailed side stories. Each restored land offers its own self-contained tale, ranging from lighthearted adventures to darker, more emotional arcs, all wrapped in Akira Toriyama’s signature character designs. The Nintendo 3DS remake enhances the original PlayStation title with updated visuals, quality-of-life improvements, and new features, making it the definitive way to experience this beloved epic.
