Dragon Quest VII is getting a 3DS port, which will include a fully orchestrated score.

The highly-regarded classic RPG Dragon Quest VII is getting a fresh coat of paint on the 3DS. The port is set to hit Japan next year, and will feature a 3D overhaul and a full orchestrated score. ArtePiazza, the studio that handled the various DS remakes of classic Dragon Quest games, is taking on this one as well.

Japanese magazine Jump gave a glimpse of the upcoming game, and Siliconera reports it's scheduled for February 7 in Japan. The Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra will be performing the score for the game, and it will feature three save files on the cartridge.

No US release plans have been announced. But considering we received the various DS Dragon Quest remakes, it's a fairly safe bet we'll get this one too.

        It makes me happy. I'm not crazy about the main DQ games, but hopefully this means Rocket Slime 3 is bound for us.

        Mostly, I just like seeing the 3DS putter along. It's never going to be the DS in its heyday, but I expect it to have some really neat stuff for at least the next 5 years

      I'll take it. Though I'd appreciate if they'd do a big update of 1-3 since the only portable versions of those are the (by today's standards) poor GBC ones.
