My head canon is that this is a Xenosaga remake but she got confused.

In addition to reviewing DQ7 Reimagined, I archived the full item list, cataloged as many Lucky Panel rewards as I could find, and wrote a full walkthrough. Feel free to take a look, if you would like.

Sniper Elite games have a simple but effective premise. Several are playable in co-op too.

I've gotten some nice comments on my review today, as well as some good discussion and feedback from people who don't necessarily agree with my approach, focus, or takeaways. I appreciate it all. This is how it should be.

Sorry about that! I linked mostly for their attention. It's Junior Miyai. They covered some FFXI-related stuff for RPG Site somewhat recently -> www.rpgsite.net/feature/1723...

As someone who acknowledges that the HD-2D trio lightened up the friction as well (despite enjoying them), it feels to me that DQ7 goes even more in that direction. It's difficult to define where the <too much QoL> line is, but it is more clearly crossed here.

In my interview with the producer, he admitted that he bounced off the original version when he first played it. So, it is worth considering the philosophy with adjustments to the remake here with that context.

Some of the party chat is still similar to before, in terms of characters commenting on events that take place in each of the different islands. But a lot of it is hints. By the end of the game I found myself starting to skip them.
There arent many new cutscenes that weren't in previous versions.

I felt that Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is a diet version of the game that never really takes the training wheels off, more concerned about the destination than the journey. Easy to drink, but doesn't taste as good.
While Dragon Quest VII Reimagined still encapsulates much of what makes Dragon Quest VII resonant, efforts to streamline the adventure succeed at the expense of player discovery. Our review: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/19437-dragon-quest-vii-reimagined-review
