STORY＆FEATURES
What begins as youthful curiosity soon unfolds into an epic adventure to save the world…
On the sleepy shores of Estard Island, our bright-eyed protagonist and his best friend stumble upon strange
fragments of an ancient tablet.
When they place the fragments into a pedestal within a mysterious shrine, a magical
light transports them to an unknown world.
With every new tablet they discover, the world around them
grows.
What begins as a quest for answers soon turns into something far greater as they discover malevolent forces
and the hidden, true nature of their world.
Collecting the fragments to complete a tablet unlocks the gateway to a new world!
The adventure unfolds as the group travels
between two worlds.
Each tablet they discover leads
them to exciting new destination.
Many unique events and side stories take place in
each world.
The UI design has also been reimagined, now featuring a tab-based menu system, so all the information is easier than ever
to access.
The game offers plenty of content for those looking to take a break from the main story, such as a battle arena featuring a host of formidable legendary foes, and the classic Lucky Panel minigame.
Both provide excellent opportunities to obtain rare items!

BATTLE
The battle system in DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined has also undergone significant changes.
Not only have the party members’ spells and abilities evolved, the monsters’ appearances and behaviors have too, allowing characters to take part in more dynamic and thrilling battles.
Attack enemies as you traverse the world without having to enter battle!
Weaker foes can be defeated right then and there, allowing you to keep your adventure moving at a brisk pace.
While the game uses a turn-based battle system, the party's tactics can be set up so that combat proceeds without pausing between turns.
Battle speed can be adjusted, and an auto-battle feature is also available.
The protagonist and party members can master a variety of vocations, each offering unique spells and abilities to use in battle.
Once you reach a certain point in the story, you’ll also be able to change their vocations.
Moonlighting allows characters to have two vocations at once!
Each vocation offers different spells, abilities and stats, with each combination expanding the range of strategic possibilities.
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat with unique vocational perks!
Each vocation comes with a unique perk that can be “let loose” during battle when a character gets sufficiently “worked up.”
These vocational perks are extremely powerful and can dramatically turn the tide of battle in your favor when activated in a pinch.
Only once a character has become fully worked up can they let loose their vocation's perk.
These perks come in many forms—some boost attacks, while others provide support to the rest of the party.
The new Monster Master vocation comes with the perk “Positive Reinforcement” that summons powerful monsters to assault your enemies!
