What is DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined?

DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined is a remake of DRAGON QUEST VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past, originally released in 2000, rendered in a warm hand-crafted 3DCG art style. 
This grand adventure, sparked by the small curiosity of a group of childhood friends living on an isolated island, has been completely reconstructed (Reimagined) from the ground up—not just the graphics, but the scenario, battles, side quests, and systems as well.

■Story
As a bright-eyed young fisherman's son, you've lived your entire life on the peaceful island of Estard. Your journey begins with a simple question: is there more to the world than this small island kingdom?
On a quest for answers, you and your childhood friends discover the Shrine of Mysteries and are swept back in time.
There, you uncover the shocking truth that entire lands have been sealed away by a malevolent force.
The fate of the world now rests in your hands.

■A Diorama Brought to Life
DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined blends a beautiful diorama art style with Akira Toriyama's iconic character designs to make every encounter feel vibrant, heartfelt, and full of adventure. ​​
From lush forests and bustling towns to ancient ruins and whimsical monsters, every environment is bursting with color and personality.

■Classic Combat, Improved!
The battle system in DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined has undergone significant changes.
Turn the tides of battle with new vocational perks. Each vocation has its own unique ability, from all-out attacks to those that support your allies. Battle speed adjustments and an auto-battle feature are also available. Battles can progress without interruptions between each turn, depending on the tactics selected for the protagonist and allies.
Customize your playstyle with the new Moonlighting mechanic.
Having two vocations assigned at once provides access to the skills, magic spells, and unique perks from both.
