Dragon Quest VII Fragments of the Forgotten Past

SCORE: 60

My heart is filled with gratitude to Family Friendly Gaming for purchasing a copy of Dragon Quest VII Fragments of the Forgotten Past on the Nintendo 3DS. The PR and Marketing failures over at Nintendo continue. Continue to pray their hardened hearts will be softened. This game starts very different than most RPG’s. We are in a small island that is all there is on this fantasy planet. Gamers will find tablets and bring islands back to this world.

Dragon Quest VII Fragments of the Forgotten Past has fantastic, and amazing music in it. The Playstation One era graphics look okay on the Nintendo 3DS. There are plenty of hidden items to be found in Dragon Quest VII Fragments of the Forgotten Past. Break every barrel, box, vase, and more in this lengthy role playing video game. Also search the treasure chests, bookcases, dressers and more to find handy items. Sometimes we find gold coins.

The issues families will have with Dragon Quest VII Fragments of the Forgotten Past is violence, lack of attire, enticement to lust, magic, false gods, demon king, religious references, bad language, and more. At times Dragon Quest VII Fragments of the Forgotten Past sounds like they are talking about God, and other times it is clear they are not. The camera can be rotated and needs to for the players to find all of the hidden items.

I believe families will get thirty dollars worth out of Dragon Quest VII Fragments of the Forgotten Past. The story is long and it can take time to figure out what to do next, or who to talk to. If you get stuck go around and talk to every single person you can find in the game. Someone should give you a clue. You could also check the game since it has a history of what is going on. Finally there are plenty of FAQs and walkthroughs online.

There is one thing about Dragon Quest VII Fragments of the Forgotten Past that confuses me. The Playstation game (which is the same game) was given a thirteen and older ESRB rating. This port to the Nintendo 3DS has been dropped to a ten and older only rating. Dragon Quest VII Fragments of the Forgotten Past is definitely a thirteen and older game. So why did the ESRB drop the rating years later? This is very concerning for families who want video game corruption to be cleaned up.
