"When a video game series goes on for a long time, it raises a question for newcomers: Just where is the best place to jump in? In the case of Dragon Quest, there are nearly a dozen mainline titles, not to mention copious spinoffs and ports that span four decades of history. Of late, though, publisher Square Enix has been releasing a number of remakes that serve as almost ideal entry points for beginners who are intimidated by all of that baggage."
"Maybe that's why this isn't the first time Square Enix has remade it; the game also launched on the Nintendo 3DS under the new subtitle Fragments of the Forgotten Past. Reimagined builds on the core experience with a number of quality-of-life tweaks - you can see enemies before battle starts, for instance, and the game gives you a "previously on" story update each time you start it up"
Dragon Quest VII served as a pivotal franchise entry by introducing 3D graphics on the original PlayStation. Square Enix previously remade the title for Nintendo 3DS as Fragments of the Forgotten Past. The Reimagined version updates the core experience with modern conveniences and visual overhauls. Quality-of-life changes include visible enemies on the field before combat and a "previously on" story update at startup. Revamped graphics render the world in a charming, toy-like style. The remake aims to lower barriers for newcomers while preserving the deliberate pace and foundational structure of the original game.
