Dragon
Quest: Warriors of Eden
is published by Monthly GanGan and has Emblem of Roto
artist, Kamui Fujiwara illustrating the world of Dragon Quest VII.
Warriors of
Eden follows the story of Dragon Quest VII with a few new
touches. Arus along with Keifer and Maribell discover an ancient temple
on Estard Island. In the temple they discover tablets that allows
them to travel to continents that were sealed away in the past and
are revived in the future. Warriors of Eden now adds an elemental
warrior with each elemental spirit, starting off with Arus as the
Warrior of Water. Fujiwara also ties Warriors of Eden with
the Roto series with a character named Bezul. He's the reincarnation
of Emblem of Roto's Quadal, a sage who fought with Roto during
the final battle with Zoma. His apprentice, Guren, is the Warrior
of Fire. And, on top of all that, Arus' lizard is named Gregory and
now speaks. Currently at 11 volumes, this series is shaping up to
show us all of DQ VII's classic moments as well as some fan favorite
cameos.
