I’ve been journeying through the Dragon Quest series, so far making my way through Dragon Quest XI, Dragon Quest V, and Dragon Quest III. I decided that Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past would be next, and I was a bit scared.

Dragon Quest VII has a reputation for being long. The original PlayStation version supposedly took around 100 hours to finish. Thankfully, I played the 3DS remake, which includes some quality-of-life improvements and trims the game’s length a bit. Yet compared to the breezy adventures of Dragon Quest V or Dragon Quest III, I knew that this was going to be a commitment.
