By Use your reimagination
The original Dragon Quest 7 on the PS1 was the last mainline instalment to feature 2D, sprite-based visuals exclusively — and so it’s really cool seeing how Square Enix has revamped the entire game for the upcoming Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined.
While this isn’t some kind of total transformation like Final Fantasy 7 Remake — or even the much more recent Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter — it’s still a full remake, built from the ground up using entirely new assets.
In order to demonstrate its evolution, Square Enix has shared a couple of comparison images that show the original PS1 release, the 3DS remake from 2013, and Reimagined side by side.

Behold:
We obviously won’t be playing Reimagined for a handful of months yet — it’s due out in February next year — but it does seem to be a cut above what we’ve come to expect from, say, the Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes. It’ll be interesting to see how strongly the publisher markets this one ahead of launch.
