![]() You are occasionally given dialogue choices, but it only leads to minor variations in the script. Every character you control is created by you from a selection of classes, character art, and color palettes and they are all effectively silent when it comes to the story. The biggest character issue actual comes down to your party. On the plus side, a few characters do manage to stand out, such as the super soldier with a complex about proving himself to be the ultimate dragon-killing machine, and the now ubiquitous cute mascot character who plays against type by being a foul-mouthed fatalist who generally hates people and is sure that your party will probably fail and die a horrible death in the process. Allie and Julietta, two Nodens executives, are especially guilty of this. Much of the named cast are quite rote and instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever played a JRPG or watched an anime, while others are just quirky for the sake of being quirky, ultimately coming across as strange rather than humorous or interesting. The thing that really holds the plot back are really the characters. The general thrust of events is engaging and serves to move things along fairly well, and there are some legitimately great moments, but mostly it is just good.

You create and take control of a party of characters who partake in a popular video game simulating the historic invasion it turns out the game is a secret test designed by its developer, Nodens Enterprises, to locate people with the skills needed to fight back the dragons, and your characters are naturals. This might be the only 7th Dragon title to reach our shores, which is sad, because it’s a pretty good game.ħth Dragon III takes place in a near future version of our world, several decades after humanity fought off a dragon invasion, but all signs point to an impending second offensive. The impressively titled 7th Dragon III Code: VFD breaks this mold by coming to North America, and just in time for its developer Imageepoch to fold. However, neither it nor its PSP followups made it outside of Japan, thus my, and likely your, lack of awareness. ![]() The series dates back to 2009 when the first entry premiered on DS, joining the handheld’s roster of well-received JRPGs.
