Spoiler Alert: Proceed with caution!
Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is Exciting, But It Doesn't Address the Elephant in the Room
Although Square Enix recently announced a remake of Dragon Quest 7, it is still leaving fans in the dark about the future of the series.
The demo ends after the Ballymolloy storyline, which is the first world the party visits. Playing the demo also unlocks a special dress for Maribel that players can use during the adventure in the full version of DQ7: Reimagined. Players should also keep in mind the following conditions of the DEMO before downloading it:
- To carry over any saved data to the full version of the game, players must have save data of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Demo created from the same account, stored on the system where they will be playing the full version.
- There will be a cap on the character level and vocation proficiency players can reach, as well as the gold coin cap.
- Rewards such as bonus items will not be accessible in the demo.
- To receive the "Demo Player Present" on the full version of the game, players must have save data of DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined Demo created from the same account, stored on the system where they will be playing the full version.
- The "Demo Player Present" can be received from the "Claim Special Rewards" menu in the full version of the game.
So, in other words, players can already enjoy Dragon Quest VII Reimagined (at least, the first part of the adventure). Later, when the full game releases, if they wish to purchase the game, they can carry on their progress for the rest of the adventure.
