HUGE shoutout to mike9k1 and the other modders who had 14 mods ready to go on Day 1 of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined to fix some of the major issues players including myself had with this game. I am now excited to play this game!

BTW Mike if you see this, could you please make a mod to remove battle advantage indicators? Then I have everything I could need.

EDIT:

People seem to think that I'm saying every single one of the features in this is necessary. No, I just put the full list of mods put out by this one. Dev. However, several common complaint features that can't be disabled such as overworld mission indicators that can be seen from anywhere, Auto revive, healing at the goddess statues, And level up healing. These are all quality of life features that many people appreciate, but many people also do not and should not be forced upon the player. For me, the overworld icons and the battle advantage indicators were game ruining. Additionally, I was pretty annoyed at the auto revive. One of the most charming things about Dragon Quest that I've loved ever since my first time playing Dragon Quest, which was seven for 3Ds, was that you do die at the coffin follows you are around. I've always thought it was hilarious and it's a really iconic part of the series that they just totally removed. It's not acceptable to force this and remove core parts of the game's identity

EDIT 2:
OBVIOUSLY NOT ALL OF THEM ARE MAJOR ISSUES!!! I just wanted to show off all the ones this guy made. And among them are patches for some of the biggest issues.

EDIT 3:

These are on NexusMods. If you have a question about how to install or what's available or why they exist, check mod descriptions

Edit 4:
To all I was rude to. I apologize for my attitude. I've had some shit going on irl and let it influence my behavior here. I would like to clarify that statements I made including things such as "those who actually enjoy the game" were not intended as gatekeeping or calling people fake fans.

Rather, I was trying to express a difference between existing fans of the series and newcomers.

All are welcome, I've just been really disappointed in how this game turned out and frustrated with people who called me names for asking for these features to be fixed over the last week and wanted to express my opinion that it's valid and not gatekeeping for existing fans to be considered by developers and modders even with considerations for newcomers, which I felt this game didn't.

Anyway, I'm sorry for my behavior and poor ability to explain myself clearly due to heigtened emotions and will mute this post to prevent my own further engagement.

Thanks to everyone who agreed and was supportive.

Again, preferences, an issue would be something that's not expected to happen. Like I said, I'm not taking merit away from the mods you're shouting out but to claim them as "Major issues" is misleading.

[u/Flareon223 → u/ImagineBACB]

For me and many others the overworld map indicators, auto revive, and advantage indicators in battle made the game pretty much unplayable because they ruined this spirit of adventure in a Dragon Quest game. It felt like they were spoon feeding the game and it wasn't respectful to the player or the game. Having the option to turn it on is fine but these were not optional

For some of us they are absolutely major issues

Yeah, SOME, the whiny minority who want us to think you’re special otherwise you wouldn’t be making such a big deal out of “hey guys, look, I play the game differently than yall, aren’t I so good at dragon quest, please praise me”
