Square Enix plans to remake Dragon Quest 7 for a 2026 fiscal year release, which will enhance accessibility as it moves from 3DS. However, many argue that remaking titles like Dragon Quest 4 and 5 makes more sense due to their availability only on 3DS or mobile. Dragon Quest 7, originally released in 2000 and remade for 3DS in 2013, is known for its lengthy gameplay of over 80 hours, prompting discussions about potential streamlining in the upcoming remake as a way to improve player experience.
Many entries in the series are only available for 3DS, but it feels weird that Square Enix is prioritizing a Dragon Quest 7 remake before other entries.
Dragon Quest 7 puts you in the shoes of the Hero who alongside his friends travels back in time to save islands close to their home.
Remaking Dragon Quest 7 would give Square Enix the chance to work on the length of the game and "fix" it, making it less of a chore.
A casual playthrough of Dragon Quest 7 can easily stretch longer than 80 hours, showing the game’s extended length compared to entries like Dragon Quest 4.
