\"Dragon<\/a><\/p>\n

The late Akira Toriyama\u2019s art is a huge part of the Dragon Quest<\/a> franchise\u2019s appeal. But not everyone loves the look that\u2019s been adopted in upcoming remake Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now in a new video presented by series creator Yuji Horii, it\u2019s been revealed that Square Enix actually created real-life models of the Hero, Kiefer, and co which it subsequently scanned into the game.<\/p>\n

This is all in an effort to create a \u201cdiorama\u201d style look.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the video, the developer reiterates that the release will be much more approachable, with some content trimmed or tweaked in order to scale back the RPG.<\/p>\n

If that sounds frustrating or disappointing to you, then just keep in mind that the original PS1 release is estimated to take around 80 hours to beat \u2013 and somewhere in the region of 170 hours if you aim to do everything. A bit of streamlining can\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n

I think they did the right call with the models. They are based the ps1 og and not from 3DS. pic.twitter.com\/P19cKQ2CZ0<\/a>\u2014 Raidou (@RaidouCyrus) September 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n

One other detail mentioned in this video is that characters will now be able to learn two \u201cVocations\u201d, meaning you\u2019ll be able to mix and match different jobs for a more personalised playstyle.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s due out on 5th February, with more information to be announced at the Tokyo Game Show<\/a> this month. Will you be checking it out? Let us know below.<\/p>\n
