![]() ![]() Really makes you think outside the box and the ‘luck of the draw’ makes the fighting more exciting. After your turn you will draw more cards, there are even moves that will skip a turn to just stack up on cards. So lets pretend you draw a fire and a ice card, you will be able to do any magic spell that uses up 1 fire, 1 ice or one that uses both fire and ice cards. This can be electric, fire, ice, and all that jazz. The character has a deck of cards and at the start of battle you draw two random elemental cards. For example the Duelist comes off as a magic wielding character at first, then when you see how he works you change your mind. Nothing wrong with having obvious classes but I really enjoyed playing some of the more unique ones. I feel like the game has a mix bag of ‘obvious’ classes and very unique classes. Now I’ll be the first to admit to not being super technical when it comes to playing JRPGs and their battle systems, so this is me judging it by just playing it. I think 7th Dragon III Code: VFD really accomplished this last part. One thing that a dungeon crawling game will need is a good combat system and interesting classes. While I stated that the story was just average, what the game really is built around is dungeon crawling. ![]() ![]() It feels like the weirdness is just thrown at you out of left field, don’t know if this was done by the loclization department or was something the Japanese developers wrote.īut trust me, this game is not about the story but about its fighting system… The Dungeon Crawl Some of the characters do grow on you as the story continues, but sometimes the game tries a bit too hard to make them quirky and it doesn’t really pan out. For example the game had a character named Mio who is the girl that is scared but because of you she decides to be brave, Nagamimi the rabbit puppet that is a mascot to Nodens but behind the scenes is a foul mouthed character and more. Also note that I don’t find most Japanese RPGs stories to be fantastic, so it might just be me. Some of the other characters in the game also reminded me of anime troupes, but it wasn’t bad. ![]() I’ll be honest, I didn’t find the games story to be that impressive, it felt very much like a run of the mill JRPG plot. Nodens plans to stop the power of the dragons in the current era by traveling through time and slaying dragon in three different time eras (the past, present and future) in hopes of stopping the rise of the 7th and most powerful dragon. If it wasn’t obvious at this point, you and your party complete the mission and are told that every few generations a dragon appears to wipe out humanity. Pretty cliche story as far as JRPGs go. The company created a video virtual reality video game, whoever completes said simulation seems to be the chosen one the company was seeking. The game starts in the year 2100 with a video game company called Nodens Corporation, who is looking a chosen hero to save the world. This also applies to the other characters in your main party. You can select from a tons of pre-created looks, colors and even class of character. The game also features a silent main character, but unlike Zelda or Metroid, the game lets you design the main character. All you have to know is that dragons have attacked the world in the past and heroes have stood up to them. While it takes place in the same world that the past 7th Dragon games took place in, this one is farther in the future. While this game is titled as a 3rd entry, you don’t really need to play the past games to understand the story. While we missed out on first couple games and a couple of spin-off titles its nice to finally get to play a official localized version of the game.īut was the last game really worth the wait? Well, let’s find out. The 7th Dragon series had SEGA veterans like Rieko Kodama ( Phantasy Star, Skies of Arcadia fame) and composer Yuzo Koshiro ( Streets of Rage series, Etrian Odyssey) involved to help craft the long running series. I have been complaining that SEGA should bring over the 7th Dragon series since it debuted on the Nintendo DS way back in 2009 and now we finally got our first entry with 7th Dragon III Code: VFD (which has been confirmed to be the last entry as well). ![]()
