Square Enix of Japan has unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming 3DS remake of the PlayStation classic Dragon Quest VII. While the 3DS remake will remain largely true to its predecessor, we reported earlier this month that there will be visible encounters rather than random battles, which can be seen in the trailer. According to CVG the remake will be renamed Dragon Quest VII: Warriors of Eden.
The game will be released on 7th February 2013 in Japan. While there has not yet been an official announcement, it seems very likely that DQVII will be localised for Western audiences, in-keeping with the previous releases of Dragon Quest remakes on DS.

The uploader has not made the video available in my country.
I live in the US. Everything should be available to me, including this video! Seriously though, it wouldn't let me watch it and I totally want to. I love DQ! (Both Dragon Quest and Dairy Queen)
Give me European dates for this one and for DQM: Terry's Wonderland 3D and I will glady become a 3DS owner. It's all I'm waiting for, really.
Holy. Crap. This looks incredible.
hmm. never played a title in dragonquest series. i figure im far to behind in the story. and i don't see how. where to start here.
@nindocrash DQ VII isn't related in any way to previous installments. Basically, you have two trilogies so far (DQ I, II & III and DQ IV, V & VI) and four basically stand-alone titles (DQ VII, VIII, IX and X).
@pixelman Thanks man. That definitely looks great. Must buy for me. Localize it Nintendo!
thanks you @fchinaski:) i thought it was gonna be final fantasy all over again lol.
for srue gonna play this ever/or when. it gets here
@pixelman much abloged dude:)
@pixelman That is one nice trailer!
@nindocrash Pardon? The stories in most Final Fantasy games are unrelated to one another.
So it is Final Fantasy all over again!
this game good. me buy.
lol
Sweet instant download
The uploader has not made the video available in my country. Well that sucks, guess I'll just ignore the game for now then.
Bet this will flop in Japan.
@ antipop621 Oh man you made me laugh LOL I just wish we could get a sniff of Dragon Quest X online for Wii In North america and Europe but they have been terribly quiet on a Port of the game
I really hope this doesn't stay in Japan. Looks like a great remake!
This could be my first Dragon Quest game! I love how the Toriyama's style is finally shown as it should be!
We need more PS and PS2 games on 3DS
Why must you torture us Squeenix?
Don't punish us just because most people here are ignorant to the brilliance of Dragon Quest. D:
DO WANT!
And hopefully they confirm DQMTW3D for western release. It usually takes what about a year for them to announce localization of a DQ game? There is still hope for that. We know DQ7 is a shoe in though.
Looks great Cant wait for its release.
@Pikachupwnage We had to wait a little more than a year to have DQVI for the DS on Western shores, so I guess there's still hope for DQMTW3D.
I kinda wish they stuck with the 2D/3D hybrid they had going with the DS trilogy, just smoothed up the edges a little bit. Oh welI, I'll still get it if it ever comes to NA.
@Windy: Not a chance they'll waste their time/money with a Wii version out West. You should be hoping for a localization of the Wii U version.
@pikmaniac: Chances are they only used that style on DS because the DS games were ports of PS1 remakes in Japan in the first place, and it's about the best the DS could handle anyway. IMO, that style would look pretty terrible on 3DS, and it makes far more sense to remake everything properly.
I really don't get why people are just ASSUMING DQVII will make it out West. We very nearly didn't get VI due to the terrible sales of V (had I but known at the time). If it wasn't for Nintendo picking up the publication of IX and seeing it sell well, we wouldn't have VI at all, or Monsters Joker 2. But I want the 3DS Rocket Slime game...not looking very likely at this point.
@nindocrash The games don't have a continuous storyline, like Zelda or Final Fantasy. Any game is a great place to start.
Dat DQ theme.
Hope they keep the Legacy bosses, but will be a buy either way.
I have yet to play a DQ game, this could be a nice start if it makes it over here.
Sounds like it might be worth a spin.
I can't wait for this game to ruin all of my free time.
I love those retro sound effects!
I've never played a DQ game before. If this makes it out west, I'll try picking it up.
It looks great. I can't stop drooling.
I loved this one on the PS1, I need to catch up on the DS remakes too...
D: Do want.
The only other DQ I have played is IX on the DS
@Xilef That's a tricky one, a lot of people think VII is the worst (IDK haven't played VII) but Ive only played IV, VI, IX and my favorite of those is IX and least favorite is IV
@Hokori More is okay but for now I think a few would be alright, we already got a PS2 port of Tales of the Abyss and now we're getting a PS1 remake of DQ7, the only thing I want is if we could get what the Japanese ppl are getting like Bravely Default and Terry's Wonderland.
Will probably try this out.
Looks pretty nice.
It looks incredible!
holy shiiiiit its a huge remake !
they totally revamped the graphics, i wasnt expecting that
This and Dragon Warrior III are the only titles (in the main series) I've yet to play. Really hope this will get localized and soon.
I want!
I'll be getting this when it comes to the US. Got all the other DS versions.
I never played these games but they look really good! I might buy one of the DS ones
