![]() It is the longest traditional RPG that I have ever played clocking at 110 hours…yes 110 hours! It took me 7 months to finish. I thought that no game could ever beat Time Stalkers to claim that most prestige less title, but alas, I can safely say that DWVII has out done itself in every category to un-proudly claim the award.ĭWVII is so bad that it has emotionally scarred me. This is truly the worst RPG I have ever played, and I mean ever. That said, I feel sorry for the 4 plus million of Japanese players that bought the game, and I also think they should get some psychological counseling too. The reason for this is not that the Japanese have a greater appreciation of art than the rest of the world does…the reason that the first seven DW/DQ games never reached mainstream popularity anywhere but in Japan is because…quite simply the series sucks! (can’t speak for the eight installment.) And the ‘suck’ factor has never been more apparent than it is in DWVII. ![]() Now, for the formal review…ahem… While I and every other RPG fan in the world owes (partially) the birth of the traditional RPG genre to the Dragon Quest/Warrior series, outside of Japan the series never caught on or earned any popularity specially in the US. I am a collector and a hardcore Traditional RPG player and that is the reason why I bought DWVII in the first place. SquareEnix might release another batch of DWVII games now that DQVIII encountered moderate success in the US. ![]() To start, let me make a few things clear here before I start this review, I know literally no one that has ever played this game, it is really a rare game, and a hard to find title on Gameshops. ![]() The game? The 7 th installment in the long running Dragon Warrior series (Dragon Quest in Japan). I had been brutalized, enslaved, and mentally imprisoned by the highest selling PS1 game of all time in Japan. I am free! That is the first thought that popped in my mind the moment after the credits rolled and the Message “the End” appeared on the screen. ![]()
