After a quarter of a century, the creator of Dragon Quest admits that a popular fan theory about the real identity of the final boss in Dragon Quest 7 is unfounded: "Entirely incorrect. I never even considered that possibility"
In the world of Dragon Quest, theories and speculations are as much a part of the game's lore as its characters and storylines. One such theory that has captivated fans for years is the notion that Kiefer, the Hero's right-hand man in Dragon Quest 7, was originally intended to be the game's final boss, Orgodemir.
However, series creator Yuji Horii has officially debunked this theory. In a recent interview, Horii stated that the idea of Kiefer being Orgodemir was never considered during the development of Dragon Quest 7 before the game was finalized and printed. This debunking was further confirmed by Horii in a separate appearance on the KosoKoso YouTube channel.
The theory also suggested that Ra's mirror, a key story item in Dragon Quest 7, was originally intended to reveal Kiefer as Orgodemir in disguise. However, Ra's mirror does not play a pivotal role in the story of Dragon Quest 7, and its relative lack of significance in this game is somewhat unusual compared to its integral role in other mainline Dragon Quest games.
Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, the updated version of the classic JRPG, adds entirely new scenarios to the original game. It also cuts subplots that have little or no direct relevance to the main quest, further distancing the game from the fan theory about Kiefer's true identity.
Despite the debunking of this theory, the enduring appeal of Dragon Quest 7 remains undiminished. The game is set to be released on February 5, and fans are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to delve back into the world of Dragon Quest 7 and uncover its secrets for themselves.
In conclusion, while the theory about Kiefer being Orgodemir in Dragon Quest 7 may have captured the imagination of fans for years, it is now officially debunked by the foremost authority on Dragon Quest, Yuji Horii. The game's release on February 5 promises a fresh opportunity for fans to explore the world of Dragon Quest 7 without the lingering shadow of this theory.
