SEGA of America have posted their latest trailer for their upcoming RPG 7th Dragon III: Code VFD, showing the game’s time-traveling aspect. In order to save the world from destruction from invading dragons, players will embark on a journey through three different time periods. In each of them, a True Dragon must be defeated before they can take on the “7th Dragon”: VFD. SEGA’s official press release has more information on the three time periods and their corresponding areas:
- Present-day Tokyo – The year 2100 in Tokyo is your first stop in the game. The city is an urban jungle filled with hazardous areas like the subway line and landmark giant tower. However, if you need to take a breather from hunting dragons, Nodens Enterprises HQ is located here.
- Ancient Atlantis – So naturally, you’ll depart Tokyo and step back in time to the mythical ocean kingdom of Atlantis. Be warned, the capital city of Atlantica, royal palace, and Cladeon lower wards are rife with danger. Oh, but the blacksmiths of Atlantis are renowned for forging great weapons, so definitely worth a visit.
- Futuristic Eden – The futuristic collection of states known as Eden will be the last time and place you’ll explore. You can visit the Kazan Republic, the ruins of Preloma, or brave the mysteries of the sealed tower. However, it would be wise to remain vigilant as dragons and enemies haunt your every step. The future is definitely bleak, so don’t be surprised if some people from that time period are sympathetic to your cause.
7th Dragon III Code: VFD will be released this Summer in the Americas for the Nintendo 3DS. Unfortunately, last we heard from SEGA Europe, they had no plans to release the game in their region. We can only hope they change their mind! If you’re in Europe and you want to see this game localized, consider letting them know on their Twitter or Facebook account (respectfully, of course).
