Title: DW VII slated for remake in Japan (and possibly stateside)
Post by: soera on November 01, 2012, 03:54:26 pm: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/31/dragon-quest-7-reborn-on-3ds-february-7-in-japan/

Dragon Quest 7 reborn on 3DS Feb. 7 in Japan [update] by JC Fletcher on Oct 31st 2012 2:00PM

Square Enix has opened an official Japanese website for the 3DS remake of Dragon Quest VII, announcing a February 7 release date. Artepiazza, a developer with a pedigree of Dragon Quest ports including the recent DS remake trilogy, is in charge of the update.

In addition to the refreshed graphics, the 3DS version of Dragon Quest VII will feature an orchestral score by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. Square Enix has yet to announce any plans to release this outside of Japan, but all three of the DS remakes made it to North America. Recently, Dragon Quest games have been published in North America by Nintendo.

Update: A Square Enix representative has told Joystiq that Dragon Quest VII is currently being "evaluated" for the western market. "We're currently evaluating the title for the Western markets, but nothing has been determined. Please stay tuned for more information."

I'd be willing to be that we have no worries about it making it's way to the States, unlike DQX...

Post by: scott on December 17, 2012, 10:01:50 am: Well considering you prefer to play with a real controller and larger screen, I'd say go for the PS1 version. But if you want updated graphics, etc, wait for the updated version.

Post by: soera on December 17, 2012, 10:10:19 am: If you want to play it, go ahead and play the PS1 version. Even if it does make it stateside, its going to be a while.

So, how long does it really take to play this game (I've heard horror stories...but, those are usually over-exaggerations).

I've also recently picked up Torneko's Last Hope - anyone here like/play it that can tell me anything about it & how much it is/isn't related or connected to the "main" DQ series?

Post by: soera on December 17, 2012, 11:13:33 am: DQ VII is pretty long ... but its not that bad if you dont go for all the optional stuff.

Torneko is on my to-play list but hasnt made it in yet. Maybe it will today!

Post by: scott on December 17, 2012, 11:29:51 am: I picked up Torneko awhile ago, but haven't had a chance to play it either. Ha

So far, the only DQ game that I've played (to completion, that is) is DQ VIII.
