I see. In the european version there's no mention of Auster both ingame and in the digital manual. He's just called "hero". man, I hate having to name characters.
Also, in my version the menus are still black and not blue.

The menus are black. If you're going by the photo a page back or so, that's just an issue with the photo.

They use Auster on the European websites for the game, which is where I picked it up from and what I went with for naming.

Why can't today be tomorrow
That's a real shame they removed item images from shops. Do they appear anywhere else or are they completely removed altogether?
When will then be now?
As I mentioned a few posts up, they're still there in the regular inventory screen.
Dammit, you beat me to it. lol
No, the first game to have that was 8.

From what I heard and it could be wrong is Square did all the work and Nintendo footed half the bill?
I know that but I wasn't sure if a full remake of the game would add something like that in. It's definitely not a deal breaker because I can take it or leave it.
I believe Nintendo also QAed the game and are handling he marketing. I may be wrong though.
Ah thanks. One more question as it got unanswered earlier in the thread, does the game handle party member switching once you get your 5th party member the same way as in the original? (trek back to the first town, enter a house, talk to the person, etc)?
One of the things that bothered me in the PS1 release was having to pick which party member's adventure unceremoniously ends.
From what I can see is that Nintendo is publishing this game in Europe and thus I would assume they paid for localisation. Normally, if they do not pay costs for localisation, they are just distributing these games (Monster Hunter, Ghost Trick, Zack & Wiki, and many more). The translation work was probably contracted to Square Enix or outsourced to independent translators. As far as I remember, NoE shut down their internal translation division and is relying on outsourcing now.
Anyway, Nintendo is publishing the game in North America and Europe, not Square Enix. Also directly stated on the back of the game box.
Sorry, I just copied that part from my JP thread. I didn't think to update it.
Not bad, that's still a good size, thank you!

It's probably gonna vary a lot depending on how you play. For example most DQ V playthroughs last about 30 hours, but I took my time gambling at the casino and roaming about the overworld and I faced the last boss around 52 hours on my first time. It's likely that it will get me over 100 hours to get to the last boss of this game. If we throw full completion in, I don't even wanna know lol
Thanks! I'll probably head over to Best Buy tomorrow morning and snag a copy.

My copy shipped. Should be here tomorrow.
How is the 3D? I generally enjoy playing with it on.
Ive always been much slower than most in getting through games. So any estimated time-frame you can always add maybe 50% or double.
Ill be playing DQ VII for a LONG time.

Is there any link to the midi version of the soundtrack? I've been listening to those midi soundtracks from the mobile games and they're actually pretty phenomenal, so I'm curious how this sounds compared to the orchestrated version.
Always a pleasant surprise to see Irish Gaelic pop up in a game.

I think it brings the game to life, it looks very good. However, the battle UI in the upper screen is not 3D and it makes me feel sick if I stare at it.

UPS delivered my copy today. VII's my favorite in the series from what I've played so I'm really excited to get more into it! Kind of odd adjusting to some of the changes. Super pedantic thing, but I don't like how they restructured the main character's home village. I thought the original design was just fine and I liked the cave over to the left - sort of thing that makes you wonder how it plays in later on.
The fact that they took out item pictures is a bit disappointing, though. They still seem to have a lot of empty space there as well. Any word on other changes like this (aside from the music)?

I meant for the remake. They've remade the midi version of the soundtrack, right? Similar to how they did so for the mobile remakes? Unless I'm mistaken...
Also Woodus, man, that takes me back...
That music is what's used in the NA/EU version of DQ7 3DS. It's the same stuff they used in the mobile version of the remake in Japan.
If you're thinking it's the same as the PSX stuff, it's not.
Cannot wait to get my hands on it and see how the 3D plays for me
This actually sounds way better than I expected.

Oh, I listened to a few of the single files from 2010 that sounded almost exactly like the original PS1 version, and I guess the date fooled me. Thanks!

1. *tears* It's finally here!
2. Shocked that Amazon.ca would just sell out. I have my coming tonight or tomorrow, when I click the link it only shows selling by partners. Weird...

The date is wrong, they were really uploaded in 2015.
Can I just post a link to the original BCSTMs? They are playable with VGMStream Winamp/Foobar plugins.
(Just the music data from both versions of the game)
Because, then yesterday would be today.

Shard locator, faster class levels, bonus dungeon, tighter pacing.
Good article on it.

Unfortunately 'Over The Horizon' sounds drastically inferior to the orchestral version, but I sort of expected it. It's still good though. The MIDI is a big improvement over the PS1 version.

It takes some time to get to the first battle. I guess a lot of people aren't going to like that, but I really enjoy well made slow opening in games so that's great for me. I just hope there aren't many of those useless braindead puzzle.

Great job, Best Buy. I haven't tried their release day shipping before, but that is very not on release day. :|
I seethe with jealousy for those that have their copies.

World of the Strong too sounds inferior but still good.

Hey Aeana. I remember you mentioning in another thread that the level limit for advancing job classes has been reduced in this version. Do you know if it is some constant number across the areas, or if it mentioned online somewhere? Sorta curious. I remember in the original PS1 version the Dharma Temple overworld had a level 21 limit and the Dharma Temple Dungeon had a level 27 limit on advancing jobs.

Mine hasn't shipped yet... Dammit, Amazon....!
Just to torture myself, I'm listening to all the orchestral soundtracks too.

What do they want? The beginning has already been shortened a lot from the original version.
I was fine with the PS1 longer opening, it did a good job in building up the story.
