About Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past is a role-playing game from Square Enix and Nintendo, developed by ArtePiazza for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released on February 7, 2013. The game is a remake of a classic entry in the Dragon Quest series and combines role-playing, turn-based strategy, and adventure elements in a fantasy setting. It is played from a bird's-eye, isometric perspective and is designed for a single player.

The game follows a young hero from a fishing village who explores the past of his world. Using stone fragments placed on pedestals, the party travels to different lands in earlier times, and the areas they restore return to the present-day map. Battles are turn-based, and players can customize their party using a wide range of character classes, with characters gaining new spells and abilities as they rank up.

The remake rebuilds the world from the ground up, gives the characters new 3D models, and offers a fully re-localized story. The game is rated E10+ by the ESRB and PEGI 12.
