Recently, Takeshi Ichikawa, the producer of "Dragon Quest 7 Remake", revealed in an interview with the foreign game media GameSpot that the "disposable time of modern users" was discussed in the early stages of the game's development, and the game rhythm will be improved in many aspects to optimize the game duration.

In the interview, Takeshi Ichikawa said that one of his personal regrets about the original game was that when he played the game in elementary school, he did not even make it to the "first battle with the monster" part.Therefore, the production team decided to shorten the time required to enter the first battle. The original took about 3 hours, but in the "Remake" it should not exceed 1 hour.

Ichikawa said he hopes to respect "the time available to modern players."He explained that the era when the original version was released was dominated by games that could be invested for dozens of hours, and entertainment forms were generally longer than today, and users were more accepting of them.However, 25 years later, there are many games in the world, and media and entertainment forms have become diverse.There is an upper limit to the amount of time players can devote to a piece of entertainment, and this was what he initially discussed with Mr. Horii Yuji.

In addition to the above-mentioned battle speed adjustments and shortening the time to enter the first battle, it is reported that this game has also made various other adjustments.Including making choices and restructuring the script, the "looking for slate" part also "becomes a lot easier."While expected playtime will vary depending on play style, the game is said to aim to be more paced than the original.In addition, Ichikawa also mentioned another goal of this remake: hoping to pass on the original dark and unique world view, story, and charming characters to modern users.

"Dragon Quest VII Remastered" is scheduled to be released on PC (Microsoft Store) / Nintendo Switch 2 / Switch / PS5 / Xbox Series X|S platforms on February 5, 2026, and the Steam version is scheduled to be released on February 6.
