GR:
The first 7th Dragon game was a fantasy RPG in which the player would try to stop the spread of flowers which signaled a dragon's territory, so at first the sci-fi aesthetic of 7th Dragon III: code VFD (lowercase 'c' intentional) seemed like a strange choice, especially for players who missed 7th Dragon 2020. After taking your protagonist into a VR simulation, though, you're met with a scene in Tokyo's "Sky Tower," which is infested with monsters and totally overgrown in those ominous flowers. It was a nice touch, and even players who aren't familiar with what "those flowers" mean can probably appreciate the very eerie aesthetic they lend to the environment.
The venerable Nintendo 3DS is entering its twilight years. After a rocky, uncertain launch, the system built a following and a library that allowed it to become one of the most successful systems released, and it certainly has the top-tier games to show for it. Before [people] put the handheld into long-term storage (or if [someone is] just now getting one), check out [Michibiku's] guide for the best the system has to offer!
Colin K. from Link-Cable writes: "7th Dragon III Code: VFD is a turn based RPG developed and published for the 3DS by Sega, and released in North America way back in June of 2016. I hadn’t heard anything about this game until I saw it in my local used game shop, , the two clerks knew nothing about it, and everyone I’ve talked to since I bought it hasn’t heard anything about it. That’s really a shame, because I discovered an absolutely fantastic RPG that day."
"Okay, let’s get this out of the way – the title of this game is pretty ridiculous. That said, I enjoyed it far more than the demo ever hinted that I could and I spent the majority of one of my days playing it. Thankfully, I didn’t need prior experience with the series to enjoy this one."
Nice to see that turn-based JRPGs are still coming out SOMEwhere.
