Dragon Quest VII reviews are out today and are mostly very positive. The one criticism I keep seeing coming up regardless is that they streamlined the game's difficulty too much in an attempt to make what was a pretty brutal entry into the series into a sort of "beginners JRPG" from the sounds of it
I understand where that's frustrating for fans of the original and it's apparent why they went without "Reimagined" instead of Remake, alongside the narrative trimming.
For me I played a good 50 hours of DQ7 on PS1 before finally bouncing off of it. So I think I already like Reimagined more.
