In the year 2100, dragons have descended upon Earth and humanity is at the mercy of these terrifying beasts. However, not all is lost. As the protagonist, the player will team up with Nodens Enterprises \u2014 a video game company dedicated to stopping the dragon menace \u2014 to become a dragon hunter and eventual savior of the universe. Although times are bleak, Nodens Enterprises has found a way to tip the scales in favor of mankind: By traveling through time to three different eras, the protagonist can upset the balance of the dragons\u2019 power. This will give them the edge to defeat the True Dragons, and stand a chance against the most powerful one of them all\u2026 the 7th Dragon: VFD.<\/p>\n<p>In a quest for the ages, players will explore numerous dungeons in the mythical kingdom of Atlantis, futuristic capital of the land of Eden, and present-day Tokyo. Fighting enemies and dragons can\u2019t be done by just one person, so thankfully the protagonist won\u2019t be doing it alone. The main character can be joined by two squad members in the field, and have up to nine characters in their party. With eight distinct classes, 40 voice options, and 96 appearance variations, gamers can create and customize the perfect dragon hunting team to their heart\u2019s content. Each dragon takes immense skill and cunning strategy to defeat, so choosing the right squad \u2014 and right look \u2014 is paramount.<\/p>\n<p>Besides traveling through time and desperately trying to save the Earth , the team can unwind at Nodens Enterprises HQ where they can develop character skills, participate in numerous side quests, and even go on dates. Moreover, new floors can be added to the building with essential support areas such as a library, skylounge, cat caf\u00e9, and evacuation wards. Wait, cat caf\u00e9? That\u2019s right \u2014 stray cats can be rescued during dungeon crawls and brought back HQ to lounge at the cat caf\u00e9. And yes, while people can be rescued as well, cats are clearly the priority.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>7th Dragon III Code: VFD<\/em> will arrive July 12th in retail stores and on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS in the Americas.
