Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Officially Announced for Southeast Asia
A Legendary JRPG Reborn
In a recent gaming showcase event, Square Enix revealed Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, a modern remake of Fragments of the Forgotten Past. This is the second remake following the Nintendo DS version, and this time it’s been fully overhauled with high-end visuals and expanded content to create a more complete reimagining for players.
Story, Setting & New Content
The game follows the journey of heroes from the kingdom of Estard, who travel to the ancient past to battle enemies that have stolen their homeland in the present. Time travel again plays a major role, with fresh storyline additions, new quests, and minigames, all designed to enrich the original narrative and broaden gameplay variety.
Visuals, Art Style & Gameplay Quality
The remake retains the signature Akira Toriyama illustration style beloved by fans, now translated into full 3D models built with lifelike detail. Diorama‑style scenes add the feel of a living storybook. Quality‑of‑Life improvements have been applied, including refined menu systems and better balance to deliver smoother and more modern gameplay.
Platforms & Release Date
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is set to launch on February 5 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 (or current Switch line, depending on location), and PC. Pre‑orders will become available via digital storefronts in Southeast Asia soon.
Why This Remake Matters
