In a recent interview, 7th Dragon producer Rieko Kodama and director Kazuya Niinou revealed some of the planning behind the series’ shift from fantasy to a future setting. As part of the jump from DS to PSP, the team felt rebuilding the game from scratch would work better with the new hardware.
More importantly, 7th Dragon was to be a multi-part installment from the beginning. Niinou indicated the original plan was for five installments, with four set in the fantasy environment and the fifth to be more of a side story set in near-future Tokyo. The transition to PSP saw the team shift gears and work on 2020 before developing the other titles.

DS RPG 7th Dragon is turning into a series with the announcement of 7th Dragon 2020 for the PSP. Apart from making the handheld jump, 2020 takes place in Tokyo’s not-too-distant future, in contrast to the first game’s fantasy setting. That aside, the same team is behind both games, and 2020 is set to release this fall in Japan. No US release has been announced.
