Plus it also ties together the games more closely. The new areas are more original (even if most of the time you’re still just fighting through caves and ruins) rather than the tired “post apocalyptic Tokyo” setting”. The expanded setting works to finally make the 7th Dragon series stand on its own. This works the same way (right down to the ability to date various NPCs), though instead of a bath house, you can build a cat café, complete with a subquest to save stray felines throughout the dungeons. Much of the game is structured similar to the 2020 games too, including building up the Nodens HQ to include new floors and rooms. However, the homebase is still in 2100 Tokyo, with a few maps to explore, mostly taken from the previous games. The second is the far future, in the World of Eden, a bit after the time period of the original 7th Dragon.
The first is in the distant past, exploring the lost cities of Atlantis and saving its inhabitants, the cat-eared Luciers. Rather than focusing on Tokyo, as with the 2020 games, most of 7th Dragon III is spent traveling to two time periods to find the dragon specimens. He acts as a navigator, along with Mio, a sickly young girl you meet at the start of the game. The game now features a subversive “cute” mascot called Nagamimi (based off the rabbit doll held by the female Hacker from 2020), who looks like a stuffed animal but has a shockingly foul mouth. You play as part of Unit 13 (in reference to Murakumo 13 from the previous games) to lead this task force, although you also work with the ISDF military group, who have been further experimenting with fusing dragon DNA with humans. When obtained, then they have the power to defeat the 7th True Dragon, codenamed VFD, and save humanity once and for all. The only way to truly defeat them all is to complete the Dragon Chronicle, which is made of specimens of the six True Dragons. Sure enough, right as the protagonist and his party clear the first few levels of the simulations, their attacks resume. During this time, the private corporation Nodens has developed a virtual reality game, 7th Encount, which is presented as an amusement device but is actually a training simulation to prepare for the dragons’ return.
The defeat the 5th True Dragon, Fomalhaut, at the end of 7th Dragon 2020-II led to a brief era of peace. The story takes place in the year 2100, 80 years after the end of the previous game. They were also more willing to take a chance on localizing the game, thereby making it the first (and last) 7th Dragon game available in English. But while it seemed that the story might be left dangling, Sega took it upon themselves to get everything together and create the final game in the series. 2015 spelled the end for Imageepoch, the developer behind the 7th Dragon series.
