First trailer for 'Dragon Quest' CGI movie released

dragon quest your story.JPG
The video game-to-movie adaptation saga continues and this time it's Dragon Quest's turn. The revered JRPG series running since 1986 will get its very own big screen adaptation later this year, and unlike the live action-CGI mashups like POKÉMON Detective Pikachu and Sonic The Hedgehog, this one will be fully animated. Titled Dragon Quest Your Story, this movie is based on the story of Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride which released on the Super Famicom in 1992 and got a Nintendo DS version in 2009.


Dragon Quest: Your Story is set to release in Japanese theaters this August 2nd. There is no word of an international release at the time of writing but would you like to see it come to Western theaters from what you saw in the trailer?

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.
They can. Just look at FighterZ or the 3D animations of the Broly Movie, they looked fine. Or any of the cutscenes from and video game , be it dragon Ball or Dragon Quest. They still look really good.

That's still anime style. I suppose it could work well for a movie but again, CGI like this has a more mainstream appeal.
Honestly this is just the Sonic movie all over again, some art director thinks he knows what will appeal to "the kids" and butchered the source material

I'm ok with it not following Toriyama's style, at least it's still CGI animated so it's not like the "realistic" Sonic movie with the ... weird design
I'll wait for the french subtitles to watch it, looks good to me !

I'm honestly not surprised at this point.

Interesting fact: Dragon Quest, by Japanese law, is not allowed to be released on a weekday because too many people take time off of school or work to start leveling up!

How in the world no one remembers the DQ 11 cutscenes? Toriyama style is perfectly suitable for cgi, even for film productions like this one.
