Like most of the Dragon Warrior games, the focus is on the events happening around the characters, rather than the characters themselves. Though there is a larger plot to discover, the bulk of the game's lengthy story proceeds in this episodic way. By piecing together the tablets in the ancient ruins, the party travels to the past again and again to avert one disaster after another and bring the lost land back into the present world. Naturally, it's up to our band of heroes to go back in time and set things right. Hundreds of years ago, during an epic struggle between God and the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord locked the rest of the lands away behind magical seals before both he and God vanished from the world. It seems Estard wasn't originally the sole continent in the world. Things get more interesting when the three discover a series of ancient tablets that unlock portals to the past. The player-named hero, a fisherman's son from the lone village of Fishbel, divides his time between exploring the island's ruins with his friend Keifer, the restless Prince of Estard Island, and being henpecked by Maribel, the local spoiled rich girl. The entire world consists of only one small island in a massive sea, with no evil empire or roving bands of monsters to be found. The result of these years of evolution is Dragon Warrior VII, a game that makes only a bare minimum of concessions to advancing technology, but more than makes up for this with its deep gameplay, massive quest, and sheer variety.Īs the story begins, the world of Dragon Warrior VII is more than peaceful - it's downright pastoral. While other RPG series have focused on adding stunning special effects and FMV, more gripping, character-driven stories, and novel gameplay systems, Enix always has kept Dragon Warrior close to its roots, refining the basic gameplay with each new installment, while keeping the look and feel of the series intact.
