"This is a game for both the beginner JRPG-fan as well as the JRPG-veteran. The story has a simple beginning but as it develops it becomes more and more complex. Together with a big world, a good combat system and great graphics and music this makes for a great game."

"Having played the PS1 version many years back, this was a very nostalgic "remake" for me. Things are slightly different yes, certain content was cut short/retold (Early in game, I did not remember having to fight enemies for the first tablet, it was a rather long walk with puzzles instead) As an adult, I did enjoy the part where it was not random encounter and I get to pick my fights to save time. The overall fight seems easier now as compared to past DQ titles, was playing on normal difficulties for reference."

"I loved every minute of this game. I just beat every post-game battle/tournament and am sad to be done. The little stories were beautiful and I had so much fun with the combat. I played on the hardest difficulty."

"Game is a pretty easy even on the highest difficulty settings, but provides an excellent cozy/relaxing RPG experience. The puns are alive and well and the moonlighting mechanic cuts down on the job level grinding by quite a lot compared to other entries."

"The more you play it the more you love it, fun turn based battles extremely fun RPG, beautiful atmosphere and feeling, very long, one of the vest RPGs ever."

"Game was very fun! Lucky Panel sucks though. I never played any version of Dragon Quest VII but this one was very enjoyable. I was honestly surprised by how "bittersweet" some of the stories were when going through the towns. Not all of them came with happy endings, some came with bad endings, & others were inbetween. At first, I thought it was because I made a wrong choice somewhere or forgot to pickup an item. However, that was NOT the case it was just how that segment was written & it really impressed despite the depressing tone."

"AWESOME Remake of a Remake. I love Some of the new additions to the storyLine. I do hate how they took out some things like some of the worlds and even the gambling. In a Remake they shouldn't remove anything but they should add extra. But Overall, Very enjoyable. The visuals are outstanding as well. They Kind of nerfed The characters. I hate how you can't keep spells and abilities when you switch classes though..."

"I like it. Game play is smooth fast and easy. Stuff was clearly polished to make repeat tasks faster and easier. Puzzles are thinned down and compressed so is some of the early story. No more hours long puzzle dungeon etc to get to the first fight the game moves a lot faster early on. The story changes are pretty cool. I am pretty much loving this version of the game it is a blast. I have the game running on debian 13 linux without any issues. EDIT: I completed the game and I have to say it's a pretty good time all the way through. This experience is a lot better than the original in many ways"

"I put 500+ hours into the old Playstation version and I'm so stoked that this exists, it's fun as hell. If you're on the fence about getting it, get off the fence and get in here."

"Great game! Maybe the best the combat has been. You can tweak the difficulty so that grinding is pretty much unnecessary and have the monsters hit harder. I could easily get wiped out in three turns by any group of end game monsters at like the mid to high 40 levels. Final boss was a challenge. Only won because I survived his mana dump thanks to a particular piece of equipment that let my druid/dancer survive that blast. Luckily I saved the ygdrassil leaves until then. Because of the balance they struck here, this is peak."

"Nice streamlined version of a PS one classic."

"This.. was.. amazing! Can definitely recommend it. Enjoyed every single second. They indeed cut off some content and made the game shorter, but the graphics out match that. I will hope for some DQIX remake/reimagined version with the same graphics style."

"O Dragon Quest com mais QoL lançado até agora, achei o tamanho do jogo excelente, gráficos bons, música orquestrada boa, única coisa que não gostei tanto foi a questão de vocações, todo mundo pode ser todo mundo, isso tira um pouco a individualidade dos personagens, tornando todo o background deles meio irrelevante. Acredito que seja um dos melhores jogos da série Dragon Quest pra se iniciar e conhecer a saga, bem welcoming..."

"one of the easiest dragon quest games ive played. Combat gives you a lot of options to kill entire groups so you can really bash through this game like youre playing pokemon. I had a great time with the story and world. Kiefer is a good dude"

"Colorful, Charming artstyle, Turnbased combat, Class/job system, Interesting story. Boring way to tell the story, Party banter reduced to mostly directions, 60 euro's and not even fully voiced? Even some mainstory was not not voiced or all the final boss lines... Too easy, Back tracking"

"A fairly good remaster of the original game on the Playstation, in my honest opinion. The intro sequence is quite a bit more streamlined and doesn't take 2 hours to get to the first fight. A few of the islands were cut as well but all in all the game still feels true to the original, even if it's quite a bit easier, especially with the options to customize the difficulty and increase xp/gold gain from monsters."

"This is only a lukewarm recommendation for extreme fans of DQ. The game's visual style is, indeed, cute and the orchestral music is grand, but the gameplay itself is pretty unexciting. This reviewer was bored by it after a few hours. The story itself is fine and the voice acting is passable. In a few words, DQVII is cute, repetitive, and unimagined."
