It was released in North America in under the title ''Dragon Warrior VII''. 'The game received a remake on the Nintendo 3DS on February 7, 2013 in Japan, and it was announced that the game would be released in North America and Europe for the Nintendo 3DS under the title ''Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past'' in 2016. A version of the game for Android and iOS was also released in Japan on September 17, 2015.〔 ''Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past'' is the seventh installment of the popular ''Dragon Quest'' series of role playing games, and is the successor to 's ''Dragon Quest VI'' for the Super Famicom. An immediate success upon release, ''Dragon Warrior VIIs sales have totalled 4.06 million, making it the best-selling PlayStation game in Japan by April 6, 2001,〔 and is an Ultimate Hits title. It was the first main series ''Dragon Quest'' title to be released outside of Japan since the release of ''Dragon Quest IV'' in North America in , and the last ''Dragon Quest'' title to be released in North America with the ''Dragon Warrior'' name. The game was produced by Yuji Horii,〔 who has presided over the ''Dragon Quest'' series since its inception. Artwork and character designs were once again provided by Akira Toriyama,〔 the artist responsible for all previous ''Dragon Quest'' games and a famous manga artist. The game follows the Hero and his friends as they discover secrets about the mysterious islands surrounding their home of Estard. Through some ancient ruins, they are transported to the pasts of various islands and must defeat evil in each new location. Game mechanics are largely unchanged from previous games in the series, although an extensive Class system allows players to customize their characters. == Gameplay == ''Dragon Warrior VII'' is best known for its huge size. Without completing the game's side quests, a single game of ''Dragon Warrior VII'' can take a hundred hours or more.〔 In terms of gameplay, not much has changed from previous installments; battles are still fought in a turn-based mode from a first person perspective. Although non-battle sequences are rendered in 3D, battles themselves are still portrayed two dimensionally. The ability to talk with the party characters in and outside of battles was added to this game.〔 They offer advice about battle strategies and plot points, or simply comment on how they feel at a given moment. There are four ways and means of locomotion: feet, boat, magic carpet, and skystone. Each of these can move across different terrain. The main flow of the game is different from the other ''Dragon Quest'' games; instead of exploring one large world, the party goes to separate continents by placing stone shards into their appropriate pedestals in Estard Fane. Once all of the missing shards are located and placed for a particular pedestal, the party is transported to the trapped location in the past. After solving whatever problems plague the location, the party then travels back to Estard, the beginning island. From there, they can travel via boat, carpet, or skystone to the modern version of the location they just saved. These saved lands appear on the main map, although the originals (from the past) can be revisited through the ruins. Like most of the other ''Dragon Quest'' games, this game has several mini-games to participate in. The Immigrant Town, similar to the one in ''Dragon Quest IV'', lets the player recruit people from various towns.〔 They then live in the town, which changes depending on the type of people living there (e.g. several merchants will bring more stores to the town). A prominent feature in most ''Dragon Quest'' games is the casino. Poker, slot machines, and luck panel can all be played in ''Dragon Warrior VII''. The Ranking Association allows the player to compete for the highest stats, like the Beauty Competition from ''Dragon Quest VI''. The player can also catch monsters, although they are only displayed in the Monster Park, unlike in ''Dragon Quest V'', where monsters fought in the party.〔 Blueprints are found to add new environments to the park. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
