First trailer for 'Dragon Quest' CGI movie released

Frankbel · Apr 4, 2019

Seems fine but this 3d animation does not fit well with Toriyama's drawing style.

Maybe because that is not Toriyama's artstyle.

I think he means the game's art style is Toriyama's.

In any case, it looks pretty damn good, while I would have preferred it to be anime like the latest Broly movie this still looks fine.

I always thought that dragon ball and Dragon Quest are drawed from same author, cauz they looks alike each other.

They are, both are Akira Toriyama, the CGI movie style isn't though

Looks cool! I think I've only played the one DQ game, but hopefully I can watch this without feeling like I've missed anything.

Super missed opportunity. Seeing it in Toriyama's art style would have been amazing!

Alato · Apr 4, 2019

I'm so okay with it not being the usual art style.

I wouldn't be surprised if the movie ends up being totally uninteresting but I find the animation seriously looks great. Like, I wish more game-to-movie adaptations could look this good and avoid the whole "let's put these cartoon characters in the REAL world" thing.

This looks like Dreamworks made this movie. Okay.
I would prefer Toriyama's artstyle.

no Akira Toriyama NO WATCH

Missing Number · Apr 4, 2019

the hype is real!

sure it loses something when it steps outside of the toriyama style, but still! so.......... is it gonna be the full game or just the 1st part? i imagine it might end either at or before being wed to ..... Bianca? maybe?

also i feel it may not be a 1 to 1, judging from some of the events in the trailer.

i'd follow it up with his children's quest ..... Dragon Quest "Their Story" maybe?

also maybe if they want to draw attention toward this movie, and pick a DQ hero with a unique style....... the Smash DQ character would be Purrcy (going by DQ Heroes) and his companion, maybe sorta ice-climbers style?

I'm not sure how Akira Toriyama's art style can be done in a CGI movie, but this style isn't so bad. It looks really nice

Zense · Apr 4, 2019

I'm a big fan of the series, though I didn't know we needed this. I feel it would make more sense if they made one for the first trilogy of games, the Erdrick saga or whatever it's called, because if the rumours about Erdrick or Roto making it to smash are true then it would fit more, not that it would affect the sales much imo.

Btw Dragon Quest V also got a release on PS2 over in japan, and it got a fan translation.

For some weird reason I feel the movie's style harkens to the PS2 versions graphics...

Seems like an odd name for a movie, would make more sense for a game where you're actually playing as the characters, rather than watching them like in a movie.

It can't. If they wanted to go with that art style, they would have had to make it an anime movie, but I think CGI has a broader appeal.
It does look nice. I wouldn't mind a game in the same style, it's not far off from what you can do with modern hardware.

Vivisector · Apr 4, 2019

If this does well I wonder if Square will try another Final Fantasy movie.
EDIT: Also the CG looks a lot more western than I was expecting.

tyrantnyx · Apr 4, 2019

Pretty excited for this, I never expected them to make a full Dragon Quest movie. I'm not surprised they based it off DQV considering it's the most popular one in Japan.

Toriyama art style is absolutely possible in 3D, look at Dragon Ball FighterZ
