Overview
- Square Enix released Dragon Quest VII Reimagined on February 5 for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
- The vocation system now supports moonlighting, letting each character equip two vocations at once with rebuilt classes emphasizing distinct roles.
- Combat and quality‑of‑life options include battle speed adjustments, auto‑battle, pre‑emptive strikes on the field, and instant defeats for weaker foes, plus a 0‑MP Zoom from the start and a Chimaera Wing that guarantees escape.
- The narrative has been reworked by cutting some subplots, moving others to optional content, and adding new episodes such as a segment featuring an adult Kiefer.
- The remake adopts a diorama visual style with Akira Toriyama designs and physical character dolls on display at events, targets a roughly 50‑hour runtime, and has drawn broadly positive reviews alongside criticism that reduced friction lessens challenge.
