I'm going to give it an hour or so and see if I agree. Oh right, this year I'm playing games that made it onto someone's 'top 10' list for whatever reason, and Dragon Quest VII was voted the 9th best game ever made on the 2006 Famitsu reader's poll.

Though the game was originally announced for the N64DD! Opting to use low capacity cartridges instead of CDs. The Nintendo 64, because Nintendo had pretty much opted out of JRPGs for that generation by Of course none of these games came out on In fact the US version was released just six weeks before PlayStation, and it somehow came out after

On the other hand, it's the first of the series to be released on the because they merged with their nemesis Square in 2003. This was also the final main series Dragon Quest game to be published by Enix. I guess making a game this huge takes it out of you, especially when you're fully aware how massive the fanbase is. I did another five minutes of research and learned that this was the last of the two Dragon Quest games made by Heartbeat, as they took a break afterwards and then never came back. For comparison, Final Fantasy VII sold 330,000 copies in the US in its first weekend and it's currently up to 12.8 million sales worldwide (it's number 2 on the PlayStation all-time list). The thing is, it was only sold in Japan and the US, and in America it sold just 200,000 copies over its lifetime, so that means 95% of those 4.1 million sales were in Japan alone. It's apparently number 20th on the PlayStation's all-time best selling games list with 4.1 million sales! Well, except for what I've just read on Wikipedia.

Enix basically ignored Europe so Dragon Quest wasn't a thing over here and I have absolutely zero knowledge about this game. The 3DS remake was released 16 years later (with the new subtitle Fragments of the Forgotten Past).

Nothing at all, because it just didn't come out here. Dragon Warrior VII if you're in the US (even though it was the fifth game released there).
