JC Fletcher — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:00:00 EST

Square Enix has opened an official Japanese website for the 3DS remake of Dragon Quest VII, announcing a February 7 release date. Artepiazza, a developer with a pedigree of Dragon Quest ports including the recent DS remake trilogy, is in charge of the update.

In addition to the refreshed graphics, the 3DS version of Dragon Quest VII will feature an orchestral score by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. Square Enix has yet to announce any plans to release this outside of Japan, but all three of the DS remakes made it to North America. Recently, Dragon Quest games have been published in North America by Nintendo.

Update: A Square Enix representative has told Joystiq that Dragon Quest VII is currently being "evaluated" for the western market. "We're currently evaluating the title for the Western markets, but nothing has been determined. Please stay tuned for more information."

Square Enix is porting PSOne RPG Dragon Quest 7 (known as Dragon Warrior 7 here in the states) to the 3DS, it would seem. According to a scan from Japanese mag Jump, the planned port is slated to launch on 3DS sometime in February of next year, Tiny Cartridge reports.

Right now that's all we've got to go on. The article mentions no new additions or features in the 3DS remake of Dragon Quest 7. We've followed up with Square Enix for comment and will update accordingly.

Square Enix Japan using Twitter to find fan favorite PSone classics

Expect #SEM_DL to become a trending topic in Japan. Why? Square Enix is asking Japanese fans to submit their top three most wanted PSone classics on Twitter using the aforementioned hashtag. While Japan has a larger selection of classic titles on PSN already, there are some notable omissions. Fans (like the one above) have pointed out Chrono Cross, Dragon Quest VII, and Legend of Mana as some of their most desired games.

We're certain fans in America and Europe would love to take part in a survey like this. Until Square Enix decides to gauge our interest, why not submit your ideas to our comments section?
