"Dragon Quest 7 Remake" producer interview: Will delete and modify boring side lines

　　Recently, SE official interviewed Ichikawa Tsuke, the producer of "Dragon Quest VII Eden no Senshitachi", which is also the first public interview of the game since the Nintendo press conference. In the interview, Ichikawa revealed that the remake will optimize the game content on the basis of retaining the original core experience and eliminate those redundant and boring side tasks.

The original version of "Dragon Quest 7" was criticized by players for its slow plot and chaotic rhythm. In response to the reporter's question, Ichikawa solemnly promised: "In order to make the story process more compact and smooth, and to provide players with more attractive guidance, we decided to cut off those subplots that are extremely low-related to the main line."

　However, fans of the original game do not need to worry that the game content will become thin. Ichikawa said that although some of the content was deleted, the production team also carefully designed new links and scenes to enrich the players' gaming experience. The remake will inherit the essence of the original work while striving to bring a better and smoother gaming experience to modern players.

In addition, Ichikawa also mentioned that "Dragon Quest 7: Remake" is very suitable for players who have never been exposed to the series. Because the story of the series works is relatively independent and the quality of the remake has been significantly improved, both the plot and the gameplay are richer and more interesting, so even novice players can easily get started and enjoy the fun of the game.

　　Finally, the official announcement that "Dragon Quest 7: Remake" will be officially released on February 5, 2026, and will be available on Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC through the Microsoft Store and Steam platform.
