7th Dragon III Code VFD Announced
IRVINE, Calif. -- Feb. 2, in the year of our Lord
2016 -- The age of dragons is nigh, as SEGA of America,
Inc., will localize and release 7th Dragon III Code: VFD in the
Americas. The turn-based, dungeon crawling RPG for the Nintendo
3DS™ system pits players to save the world with a group of
highly customizable characters with diverse party roles, such as
Rune Knight, and more. In between dungeon crawling sorties,
there's also base building, dating, and a cat café (really).
While this is the first of the 7th Dragon series to be released
outside of Japan, the story is comprehensive, so no prior
knowledge of the series is necessary. When it arrives this
summer in retail stores and on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo
3DS, 7th Dragon III: Code VFD will be available for
$39.99/CA$54.99.
In 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, the world is engulfed in a time of
darkness and great peril. In the year 2100, dragons have
descended upon Earth and humanity is at the mercy of these
terrifying beasts. However, not all is lost. As the protagonist,
the player will team up with Nodens Enterprises -- a video game
company dedicated to stopping the dragon menace -- to become a
dragon hunter and eventual savior of the universe. Although
times are bleak, Nodens Enterprises has found a way to tip the
scales in favor of mankind: By traveling through time to three
different eras, the protagonist can upset the balance of the
dragons' power. This will give them the edge to defeat the True
Dragons, and stand a chance against the most powerful one of
them all... the 7th Dragon: VFD.
In a quest for the ages, players will explore numerous dungeons
in the mythical kingdom of Atlantis, futuristic capital of the
land of Eden, and present-day Tokyo. Fighting enemies and
dragons can't be done by just one person, so thankfully the
protagonist won't be doing it alone. The main character can be
joined by two squad members in the field, and have up to nine
characters in their party. With eight distinct classes, 40 voice
options, and 96 appearance variations, gamers can create and
customize the perfect dragon hunting team to their heart's
content. Each dragon takes immense skill and cunning strategy to
defeat, so choosing the right squad -- and right look -- is
paramount.
Besides traveling through time and desperately trying to save
the Earth , the team can unwind at Nodens Enterprises HQ where
they can develop character skills, participate in numerous side
quests, and even go on dates. Moreover, new floors can be added
to the building with essential support areas such as a library,
skylounge, cat café, and evacuation wards. Wait, cat café?
That's right -- stray cats can be rescued during dungeon crawls
and brought back HQ to lounge at the cat café. And yes, while
people can be rescued as well, cats are clearly the priority.
7th Dragon III Code: VFD will be available this summer
exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS systems in the Americas. The
game is rated THIRTEEN and OLDER ONLY by the lenient ESRB.
