We're getting a Western release of Dragon Quest VII on 3DS

You can watch the twitch replay here: https://t.co/uOh1HjCbwn, but here’s a quick rundown.

Dragon Quest VII is getting a Western Release, which wasn’t originally in the cards, exclusively on the 3DS. Demand from fans (including an impressive physical mail-in campaign) is what made a Western release feasible. They knew they had a demand.

It’s utilizing a new system for Localization to preserve a lot of DQ’s unique terminology and story warmth, bringing the quirky rhyming and alliteration it’s known for in its native Japan.

DQ VII boasts over 50 Vocations for players to master and the battle system has been improved to encourage variety over min/maxing.

Releasing DQ VII on the 3DS gives new opportunities with functions like StreetPass, allowing players to send parties on adventures, earn tablets (with new adventures and new worlds), and encounter ~128 new monsters.

We can look forward to Dragon Quest VII on September 16, 2016 for the 3DS.
