Square Enix has released a new trailer and several information for Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, revealing details about a new story line that will feature an adult Kiefer and the functioning of the tablet fragments needed to expand the world. The title, which reimagines the original while maintaining its key elements but introducing a more streamlined progression and greater character development, is expected on February 5.

The most interesting news concerns the introduction of a new plot that will allow us to meet our best friend, Kiefer, in a decidedly more adult version. During the adventure in the Rucker region of the past, we will meet him and we will find ourselves helping him solve his problems, even going so far as to infiltrate Rucker's castle at night, being careful not to be discovered by the guards. Kiefer will prove to be a valuable ally, having honed his skills, and will support us in battle with items and powerful abilities. It also seems that there will be other opportunities to fight alongside him even beyond that specific region.

Details about the progression system of the game world were also shared. In Dragon Quest VII Reimagined we will have to collect the fragments of broken stone tablets. These fragments will have to be brought back to the Sanctuary of the Mysteries and stuck in the special pedestals of the same color, reassembling them like a puzzle. Each completed tablet will give us access to a new location, each with its own mysteries to solve.

By solving the problems of these new areas, they will also appear in the world of the protagonists, thus expanding the map that we can explore. Tablet fragments can be found scattered throughout cities, dungeons, or obtained by defeating powerful enemies. Right in the sanctuary we will meet "The Keeper" (voiced in English by Emma Stannard), a mystical fairy who will have the task of guiding the Chosen to a new world.

We leave you to the video; enjoy!
