Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined "isn't meant to supplement or improve upon" previous versions of the classic JRPG, but simply to "represent" the game "for today"

The protagonist of Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined stares into the distance.

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is, as the name implies, a reimagining of the PS1 original, and one that takes some big liberties with the source material. It seems Square Enix doesn't view the remake as a replacement for its aged predecessor, but rather more of a companion piece aimed at a new generation of players.

"Past iterations of DQVII represent the DQVII of that time," Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined producer Takeshi Ichikawa tells me in an email interview. "This new installment isn't meant to supplement or improve upon them, but simply to represent DQVII for today. I'd be happy if those who can compare this experience with past ones enjoy doing so, and for newcomers, I believe this game will define what becomes their very own DQVII experience."
