Dragon Quest producer Yuji Horii has commented on why they chose to remake Dragon Quest VII before other beloved entries in the RPG series, such as Dragon Quest IV, V, and VI. Horii says that it was simply a matter of chance that they settled on VII first. Horii also said that Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is progressing very smoothly and that a lot of progress has been made on the game thus far.
Yuji Horii: “A lot of things are moving around, but it was just done first by chance.”
Yuji Horii: “As I said just now, we want to make them playable on ongoing platforms.”
Naz Chris: “Does that mean VII is simply progressing smoothly?”
Yuji Horii: “Well yeah, there was also a period for [its] development… and we do have a lot of progress.”
Naz Chris: “Like, for example, IV had a lot of [story] chapter divisions, maybe that’s why it could be taking more time?”
Yuji Horii: “Well, well…” *laughs
