Square Enix has released the Dragon Quest VII 3D remake with the subtitle “Warriors of Eden” in Japan last week, when it sold 827,922 copies! The biggest change aside from the new 3D graphics, is the random encounters being replaced with visible enemy encounters. Oh and you can exchange art via StreetPass. The meat of the game is of course that it can take 100’s of hours to complete!

No Western release announcement has been made, but the previous two games got English translations on DS, so fingers crossed.

Here are the live-action Japanese Dragon Quest VII TV commercials* in one long-form clip.

* The commercials are titled: “Town Square,” “The Mysterious Stone,” and “The Adventure Begins.” The cosplays you see are Prince Kiefer and Wolf boy Gabo, as they try to shake off the redhead dancer Aira.
