Square Enix has released Dragon Quest 7: Reimagined, a new take on the beloved PlayStation JRPG originally from 2000. This remake significantly reduces the lengthy prologue, bringing the first battle down to approximately one hour. This is a notable improvement from the Nintendo DS version, which took closer to two hours.
This reimagined version introduces several quality-of-life upgrades. Players can now quickly defeat lower-level enemies without initiating a battle and can teleport directly to previously visited locations. Quest markers are also included to guide players. These changes streamline the gameplay, making it more accessible for new players and those with limited time for grinding.
