Dragon Warrior 7... any good?

Laban · March 25th, 2002

As the subject says. Is this game any good. I was thinking about buying it, but I don't want to waste my money.

i liked it but there are better games out there

It was ok, but I would suggest that you rent it first unless you have played some of the other Dragon Warriors because it plays same.

I found it excellent. The game play is definately old school, the main world is gorgeous 3d, and the characters are 2d. It looks very nice and plays very nice on ePSXe. I think you might like it but perhaps, as delita suggested, you might want to rent it first, give it a try, and see what you think.

Perhaps it would be wise to play some of the others first. I have have played all the others so I'm sure I'll like it.

I heard Dragon Warrior 8 is going to be release soon, is that true???

Irrbloss · March 25th, 2002

I havent heard anything about DWVIII..

And theres nothing on www.enix.com

So i dont think thats true

Laban · March 25th, 2002

I've played all the others, and loved them. If it playes like the old school games, I definitely want to buy it.

are they still running everything through that annoying menu?

March 25th, 2002

astroduck, AFIK there was never anything mentioned about DQ/DW 8. The one that was supposed to be released in the US was DW 4 remix. But Enix decided not to do it. So, it would seem, there are no more DW versions slated for the PSX.
Laban, yes, it definately plays like "old school" games. It is a true Dragon Warrior through and through.
Exodus, yes, if I remember correctly, it has been a while since I played, things are run through the menu. Just like in the original DW for the Nintendo. But I think that you can go down stairs, open doors, and talk to people without using the menu.
sincerely,

You can do most things with out the menu but it is still there. I heard DWVIII is be devopled but for what system or when it will be released is unknown.

Esturk · March 26th, 2002

AFAIK DQVIII will be made for PS2. And I've also heard it won't be coming out too soon.

Cless · March 27th, 2002

I thought the system was unkown and enix hadn't decide?

If you enjoy on screen Final Fantasy type battles then you may not like it...
but great old school play, nice 2D on 3D graphics (especially when enhanced)..100+ gaming hours, great puzzles, and good storyline....

Thanks everyone. I picked up the game last night. I found it for $30 at Target.
