This is the definitive game software of the year 2000, which broke the record for PlayStation software sales in Japan by setting a new high of 4,120,000 games sold. While introducing 3D rendering for the first time in this series, this game is made without depending on a high degree of realism for game characters. The story that this game is based on is well refined. Dragon Quest VII is a reaffirmation of what role playing games are all about.
