Dragon Quest VII comes out for iOS and Android in Japan this week
Walk this way
Are we getting closer to Dragon Quest VII finally arriving on iOS and Android?
Hopefully. Square Enix has at least announced that Japan is getting it this week, on September 17th to be precise. As to a western release, well, it still hasn't been mentioned.
At the moment, the only version of Dragon Quest VII available in the west is on the original PSOne. It came to North America way back in 2001.
Since then, Japan has had a remake on the 3DS, and it's this that the iOS and Android version is based on.
We'd love to get an English version of this remake but the prospects aren't great right now. It's got a lot of text to translate, which is probably what has stopped Square Enix in the past.
Still, we can tell you that the Japanese version on iOS and Android will cost 1,800 yen. That means it should be about £10.99 / $14.99 over here. If it ever comes.
