There's slow burn rpgs, and there's the "Is the stove even turned on...?" rpgs

this game is very awkward to talk about because of its inconsistent pacing, certain parts are fantastic and imaginative and incredibly unique even within this amazing series. Then other parts are the biggest slogs youll find in your life. Also the remake may be the first game ever where adding on screen encounters makes the encounter rate worse because you have fast monsters in tight hallways.

I really like the "episodic" format. It almost feels like a series. Dragon Quest is really good at making each town feel like a mini quest of it's own, with the pieces leading up to a greater whole, and I think if VII did one thing well (at least in concept), it was this. It could have used a bit more character and a bit less plodding length, but the framework for a really great story is definitely there.

I actually really enjoyed the slow paced nature of 7. I played it at a time where I was starting to really get into adventure games where its all about going to places and unraveling a story through puzzles and interaction with character. In that way, that's how I approached DQ7: as a long adventure game that has fights thrown in. After a while it became less about building classes and parties and more about the exploration and story. (Also, my favorite story was the one where, over the course of a few years, you see a town's mayor find a worm, raise the worm, adopt the worm, get attacked, and then, in a moment of self-sacrifice, watch the worm fight an exploding boulder monster.)

I love how, at modern-day Nottagen, Wiggles is a respected and admired hero. A part of me wishes though that they still knew him as a monster worm, and not as just another human. The past residents of Nottagen persecuted the Mayor and his pet worm because they were afraid and judgmental of all monsters, so being aware that their hero Wiggles was a monster would be a vital lesson to Nottagen, past, present or future, to not be quick to judge a monster. But, a part of me likes it this way too, because I suppose it is realistic. In our real world, if monsters like the ones from the DQ universe were a thing, I can imagine that humanity as a whole can also never 100% accept and trust them, even if some or even many of them would actually help humanity, just like Wiggles did. So it does make sense that the story of Wiggles the worm's heroic sacrifice was, over time, "altered" and not fully remembered, and he just became another legendary heroic human in their eyes.

Nottegen was my favorite arc! It cracked me up.

I loved 7. I have been considering playing it again. it was easy for me to get through because of how it is all broken up into smaller bite size sections. It might be my favorite. Loved all the main characters.

DQ7 is just a product of it's time. Back then there was a big demand for these long ass JRPGS. We didn't want our games to end, since most games were short, and we used to have to wait months or even years to get the next big game we really wanted. The fact that DQ7 took about 100 hours to beat, was pretty unheard of back then, and it was welcomed.

I played this about 4 years ago and all I could tell you about the numerous villages you visit is that one has a volcano. I didn't even remember two of those party members, but I sure remember being mad at all the characters that suddenly leave.

I've been subscribed for quite a while but I never comment, but I saw your 2022 wrap up after catching up on some of your newer videos, and then I watched one of your older ones. I just want to say I'm loving the new thumbnails and the new types of titles. You called them more clickbait-y and while they're definitely not the same straightforward titles as before I love that they're not anything ridiculous. Also that you keep the game title in the title. I've seen some clickbait titles that don't even tell you the game and it kills me lmao. But also you've grown so much in making videos, and I really hope 2023 is the year you need it to be! Loved this look into DQ7, it solidified my plan to never play it, but I adore hearing about JRPGs I'll never play.

Nice review, covers well without going too much into it. I remember one review from a newspaper that came out a whole year after the 3ds release which makes me think they definitely beat it all. When I get to it I'm going to play a bit at a time.

This game is a gem. I play through it usually once per year. Yes it's grindy and it's far from perfect. But there's something really relaxing about it for me.

Yup. Though I still have my original Brady Games strategy guide for it. Whoops! I mean Prima Guide.

This game is the essence of childhood innocence that in my mind is so closely related to JRPG (playing the genre since age 10). I can't explain it in terms of gameplay - this game has a certain magic like no other, it took me about 120 hours to complete and I've loved every minute of it. It's not the darkest, not the most innovative, and not the fastest JRPG for sure, but if you love the genre, it gives you an overdose of JRPG, pure old JRPG just like when you were an adolescent, and goes "over 9000" with it - dungeons, riddles, story, music, art, battles, class system, it's a celebration of the "old and simple" JRPG. Nowadays it seems that a JRPG is considered good only if it changes the formula. I can respect that, but personally, I don't like the genre because I think it needs changing. I like non-gimmicky turn-based JRPGs that take hundreds of hours to play, hell, five hours just to get to the first battle! This game is in love with the genre, and as an old time fan, I'm in love with it.

That's crazy. I played a part of the PS1 version, specifically the intro that's heavily criticised. I loved it (no random encounters, just exploring and puzzling, very unique for a JRPG), but I can't speak of any other parts of the game. This intro was removed in this version and I heard pacing is a lot better, so I'm surprised the game's still soo slow. Also I also keep forgetting the party chat in these games 😅

This is what a lot of developers got wrong in this genre of games. RPGs have to be a perfect mix of story telling and game play. Too much plot slows the game down. Too much game detaches you from the plot. DQ7 is an example of the writers not knowing how to proper load the front end of a story, so you aren't dragging. And as you pointed out, they may have abused the game cycle formula a tad.

yeah...never forget you are making a game first and a story second(with the exception being the niche genre of visual novels.) The purpose of story in a game should be to motivate you to see what happens next so you have a reason to keep playing. I feel like a lot of game developers have forgotten this and now they sometimes make story too much of the focus. If you go back to early Squaresoft games there was a really great level of story to gameplay.

I remember playing this game on the PS1, I don't remember actually finishing it, but I do remember really enjoying it. It helped that I was like, 10 or so when I played it, so I had all the time in the world, and wasn't really all that bothered by games taking a lot time to beat, and I had just recently gotten into JRPGs after playing through FFVII and then FFVIII. I'm fairly sure the only reason I never actually finished it is because I got a mod-chip put in for Christmas the one year and started getting craploads of pirated games whenever I went up to Toronto to see my uncle and we went to (if I recall correctly) the Pacific Mall where they had multiple stores that would sell pirated games for like $5 Canadian a piece.

Best thumbnail ever, cracking me up!

Growing up I had played the PS1 copy, still have it, back then I owned a gaming magazine that just so happened to tell me where the fragments are. I still consider 7 to be one of my most fave JRPGs but it's a lot of nostalgia because I couldn't find myself finishing the 3DS port.

I tried starting this game 6 times but I never left the first town , now I know the reason . Thanks for the vídeo, hope you have a great time in your days

at the time when i played DQ7 a long and slow paced game was quite perfect. I think i like little bite side stories which this game kinda had with the whole go to an island and solve their problem thing. so yea i did have a good time playing it But to play it again ? yea, i dont think i can. I thought the human form of the last boss looked cool. i really liked the flying carpet track my fav character was maribel i found her comments on stuff funny Awesome vid as always!

I bought this when it came out. It's still sealed. And I doubt I'll ever open it especially now. I played V and as far as old school DQ goes I think that's all I need, if I play another one it'll be XI. Looks the most fun.

Are you sure Dq 7 was the first one to introduce party chat ? Im sure I could do that since Dq 4 but I can be wrong.

Every time I watch these videos of my favorite genre that I never got to play when they were new, I immediately look them up on wikipedia and realize that they usually were released very deep into a generation's lifecycle. For instance, this game came out in October 2001 and FFX was literally just around the corner in December 2001 (I didn't play it until March 2002 which is why I never realized this before). REMINDER, the PS2's launch was massive so adoption of the new Sony console was very healthy. So why was the game released like this and why so late into the PS1? Well, 100+ hours just for the main story probably meant a lot of time in development but I look at the reviews and scores and it's got high marks everywhere. It's too bad this game was not released to any other console other than the 3DS many years later because it makes me think of Vagrant Story, the action RPG from Squaresoft on PS1, and how that was supposed to be released for the PS2 and had about 50% of its content cut (or more, I can't recall but it's huge) and that's because they couldn't fit the original concept into a PS1's 700MB disc but I already digress too much n_n;;

I would love to see a Dragon Quest VIII review as well!!

My favourite after DQV. I just love the cozy gameplay of the series. Finding a new village talking to all the NPCs, smashing pots & barrels, looting drawers & cupboards & the endless little vignettes. Its repetitiveness is what makes it the perfect Dragon Quest for me lol. Great content & very honest, even though I had to the opposite experience. Different people like different things after all. Perfect example Sugiyama is my favourite videogame composer & VII is my favourite soundtrack of the series too lol.

I loved the PS1 original, and the funny thing is that in the 3DS remake they shortened the beginning section. It was more of a slog on the PS1. I think my original playthrough on PS1 was around 120 hrs, and my time with the 3DS version was clocked around 80 hours. I didn't play the post game either time. For some reason I didn't like the 3DS remake as much as the original, even though it had a few quality of life improvements.

I played this back on the PSone and I was stoked when, a million hours in, a job system appeared. At the time my fav game was FF tactics. Anyway a hundred hours later I totally gave up. Slog indeed!

I have debated buying the 3DS version so many times, i already own a PS1 copy but i havent played DQ7 at all yet. I really like both graphic styles. I debate getting DQ8 on 3DS also but i already own it on PS2. Anyone have any advice?

The 3DS version has a much faster start where you get to first battle in like 1 hour. PS1 version it takes like 3-4 hours to get to first battle. In battle the graphics are also significantly improved and you can see characters attack. PS1 version is old-school DQ first person battles never see characters attack. I'd say the 3DS version is the better of the two versions, but it's a good game regardless.

Love the art style / graphics in this game! 🎨🎨🎨 Same with the obscure (in the west) Dragon Quest XI for the 3DS. The more abstract and cartoony art style works so well with the dragon quest character designs.

NEW PELVIC LET'S GO

For everyone: If you really want to play (or replay) Dragon Quest, just go for the best games in the franchise: DQ 4 and 5. I'm not saying that the are bad games in Dragon Quest, just remember that they are formulaic, but IV and V just excels in every aspect. Here, your DQ fan❤

Im very biased cause i played this game on the ps1 as a teenager in 2003-2004 when my family was broke and we didnt even have internet or phone for some time due to being broke (father losing job in a country with much sociopolitical turmoil). Lack of internet also meant i couldn't look anything up and had to be fully immersed. It was also the only game i was playing, borrowed indefinitely from a friend. That said, the slow pacing was a feature in these circumstances, i felt very immersed figuring things out and exploring the world my party kept rescuing and expanding. As i had no internet and was coming in blind, things like the class system appearing out of nowhere after hours playing came as a pleasant surprise (i was already a big fan of job systems after playing FF5 and FFT).... all that said, in the saturated fast paced infoexplosion condensed world we're in now, with everyone likely having extensive game backlogs (especially for people having real life adult jobs which i didn't have when i played DW7), i can imagine my perspective of this game would be quite different coming in fresh into it; but back in 2003, i freaking loved it and i still get quite nostalgic about it.

Dragon Warrior 7 is my favorite game of all time. Dragon Quest 7 for 3ds definitely made the game alot more accessible to play. You can't beat that job class system either. The music in both versions is amazing too.

Is this a re-upload? Or was the “pick it up before March 2023” a joke? Btw i always love your lipstick 🙏🏼

I have a backlog of videos this one had been done since Feb/March. Thank you for watching!

I really don't like turn based boring rpgs games, but i do like button context & timed based rpgs like Legend of Dragoon and Grandia 2. You should review those classic underrated games, my dear. They both have excellent story, pacing, and vocals. ❤❤❤

I really think you should explore my channel. You'd discover I've reviewed both of those. :)

@PelvicGaming I'll do that! Cool! Also did you review Ape Escape and Baten Kratos for the Gamecube?

Dragon Quest VII being such a slow game has a major advantage: it's very easy to pick up and play after setting it down for an extended period of time. I've managed to keep the same file going for years since the game came out, and I've never felt the need to have to restart from the beginning to get a feel for the game again.

My dumb brain thought you we reviewing 8 which I was like, whoa! That is one spicy take lol

I love job class systems, but my take away from DQVII was that you have to wait so long to get them and then start grinding to move through the tiers. It would have been so much better if you got them at the beginning

That's also been an issue with DQ6. While having these vocation class can be fun to access, they take forever to get them to master.

DQ6 is easier theirs a area where job classes still COUNT for job lving if at LV 99 and you can actually go to that area BEFORE the jobs itself even unlock in the first place only you need at least 1 Sage and 1 Paladin FULLY mastered by lv 25 BEFORE you stand ANY chance of killing the lv 40+ enemies in that area.

@@veghesther3204 How is that any easier?

I completed everything that had to do with the general story line, the pioneer town, casinos & vocations, sadly I was never able to make it to the hidden dungeon somehow which did make me think I maybe lost something along the way.

I'll never forget playing dragon quest 7 as a kid listening to back to back 2pac CDs. It was everything back then.

The job system is my favorite JRPG mechanic

I remember the moment I quit this game. During the volcano ritual, parade, thing. It is so slow.

I had no idea that DQ7 was not that good haha! Gonna search if you covered 8 before and see if that one's better 🤭

94hrs and i loved it all. There were some excellent little stories here!

I've played all the main series Dragon Quest games (well, besides X), and VII is by far my favorite. I've beaten both the PS1 and 3DS versions (PS1 twice!) and it's because of the writing. I love the vignettes that cross over between islands. There's one where these two people who are clearly in love with each other have a series of bad things happen to them - and the player sees this over a long period of time playing the game, where you genuinely want to see what is going on in between visits into their lives. It's not a grand, "save the universe" story, it's a small story about two people who are fairly incidental to the main plot. That sort of thing is why I love the game. Although I also enjoyed breaking the game over my knee with the class system haha

You have to go into the game with no expectations and experience it for what it is. You cant compare it to anything else. You cant expect anything other than turn based grinding. If, and its a big if, you can take your time, and enjoy it for what it is, you MIGHT be able to enjoy this game . You MIGHT be able to love this game. And you MIGHT find it is your favorite traditional jrpg of all time.

I don't necessarily disagree but uh...I did not enjoy this game haha

Played and finished the ps1 version a few years back. It took me 120 hours doing zero sidequests and focusing entirely on finishing the story.....fun times

love that mm painting
