Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is gracing the latest cover of Game Informer, and it’s somehow the very first time a Dragon Quest game has done that. Because of the momentous occasion, we spoke to Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii, who still works closely on the franchise, about the mainline series’ history.
