Awaken your power and protect the earth!
You are the Luminary, the persecuted hero who will protect the earth from destruction in the last role-playing game of the iconic Dragon quest Serie. With a massive gang of adventurers, you’ll take part in turn-based balanced battles and embark on missions throughout the kingdom of Erdrea. Build a team, develop group members’ skills and alter their outfits without changing teams in this edition of the game! This version also allows you to mount and attack monsters in the field to gain experience points, as well as switch between HD or 16-bit images, symphonic or synthesized music and audio in English or Japanese. Complete the story with new character-focused stories and travel back in time. Dragon quest worlds!
Across the land, you will meet the mysterious Tockles, creatures that allow you to visit 16-bit 2D versions of popular entry areas of the series, such as Dragon Quest IV and Dragon Quest VIII! It’s fun to watch these classic worlds reimagined in retro style, matching perfectly with the main game’s 2D mode. Like all the past Dragon quest games, the designs of this character are based on the characteristic style of the famous artist Akira Toriyama. Along with the expressed dialogue, the rich personalities of your most loyal companions and fiercest enemies come to life, so you can fully immerse yourself in this quest to discover the true heritage of the Luminary and awaken your power. For a bigger challenge, start the game with the Draconian Quest setup and capture your favorite moments with Photo Mode!
