The gameplay itself starts out extremely strong with a standard adaption of Persona Q or Etrian Oddysey, with turn-based action RPG gameplay melded with a typical Final Fantasy dungeon view as seen in something like Final Fantasy IV’s remake on the Nintendo DS. Dragons serve as this game’s equivalent to FOEs seen in Persona Q and Etrian Oddysey, which roam dungeon floors looking for hapless travellers and treasure hunters alike to feast upon – Dragons are a little bit more unique than your run-of-the-mill enemies in the essence that they can, and rather unfairly, commit to two actions per turn as opposed to just one – During my first encounter with one of these winged beasts, my team got absolutely obliterated by powerful abilities being spammed left and right – This did create a bit of a disillusion with me, as it seemed like a rather large difficulty spike, however I’m sure that it is something that will even itself out across the rest of the game. This would be my only quirk with the game, as it looks like there was some issue in how the game was rendered on the 3DS, leaving 3D character models looking a bit…Jaggy. This is paired by the brilliant character portraits and environments, which all come to life – Animations are fluid and run at good frame rates too, despite a slight lack of graphical quality. …And, whilst the mixtures are minimal at best, it’s amazing to see a 3DS game with this much of a hand in player creativity.

(8 x 24 x 6 x 40 – Don’t quote me on it!!) Once you’ve unlocked everything, you have a whopping 46,080 unique characters you can create. So what about the game itself? How does it hold up on its’ own merits? Well, to begin for one, the character customisation is, without a doubt, some of the absolute best and most varied I’ve ever seen in a JRPG – Every single member of your 4-slot party can be cherry picked from four differing combat classes (8 in total unlockable), with an impressive initial 16 base designs (24 I believe is the total unlockable), 6 alternative colour pallets, and 40 voice actors to choose from, you end up with 96 basic character designs you can choose from right from the get go, and that’s BEFORE choosing their voice. It’s up to the player’s avatar, and their crackpot team of allies to travel through different time periods in a similar way to Chrono Trigger, taking out the other six divine dragons of this order in a scheme to complete the Dragon Chronicle, humanity’s last hope. VFD refers to the leader of seven divine elder dragons, whom is said that, once awakening, is to bring upon the end of the world.

“So what the heck does the VFD Plot mean?!” I hear you cry. This leads us to 7th Dragon III, which is the fourth (And final) game in this series.

7th Dragon, developed by the now derelict studio Imageepoch, was succeeded shortly after by a duo of PSP spinoffs, 7th Dragon 20-II. 7th Dragon III: VFD Plot, developed and published by SEGA is, without surprise, an immensely popular JRPG franchise over in Japan.ĭespite 7th Dragon III: VFD Plot being the final chapter in the 7th Dragon story, it is the first that is being brought over to us JRPG fans here in the west…This does, as one would expect, bring aboard a whole slew of transitional errors from jumping straight to the final arcs of a multi-era story filled to the brim with compelling characters, locations and plot threads in a way, this jarring jump reminded me a lot of how Kingdom Hearts handled its’ transition between Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 when players missed out Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories.ħth Dragon as a franchise began with 2009’s 7th Dragon for the Nintendo DS.
