It’s been a few years since my last playthrough, so I can’t be certain whether the sluggish opening is only a lack of early combat or a mix of pacing issues. Either way, shortening that long, action-free introduction will make Reimagined a lot easier to get into. If past HD-2D remakes are any guide, that’s likely only one of several meaningful improvements to the original.
Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is scheduled to launch on February 5 for PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch.
The remake trims narrative detours that don’t directly drive the main story while also introducing entirely new scenarios to enrich the experience.
