The top-selling PlayStation game in Japanese history makes its way to the U.S. in Dragon Warrior VII. Its creators include a trio of Japanese role-playing-game legends–game designer Yuji Horii, music composer Koichi Sugiyama, and character designer Akira Toriyama (who also made the well loved Dragonball and Dragonball Z cartoons and comics). At its heart, Dragon Warrior VII is an ancient-school RPG that eschews flashy graphics and sound effects in favor of a excellent tale and dozens of gameplay hours. In some cases it succeeds in capturing the nostalgia of ancient NES and SNES RPGs, but in others it hangs on too dearly to obsolete conventions. Still, this is one of the most regard-packed sports meeting on the market, as it easily offers more than 100 hours of gameplay.

Graphically, Dragon Warrior VII will not impress anyone. Even compared to first-generation PlayStation sports meeting this one comes off as hideous. The sound is a mix of nostalgic MIDI bits from previous Dragon Warrior sports meeting and gorgeous new compositions by Sugiyama. The tale progresses in a linear fashion, as the main character discovers new lands, each with its own mysteries, characters, and adventures. The job system adds immense depth to character progression, as players can learn skills from more than 50 classes, including warriors, clerics, jesters, rangers, dragoons, teen idols, and more.

As deep as the job system is, progress is hindered by laborious combat and inventory-management systems. It would have been nice if the development team tried to implement modern gameplay mechanics with the rich Dragon Warrior universe. Because of its archaic aspects, the game will scare off those that aren’t familiar with grown-up RPGs. But, persevering gamers and longtime fans will delight in one of the deepest adventures on the market. –Raymond M. Padilla
