Dear ResetEra Community, We'll Meet Again Some Sunny Day: A Farewell - SweetNicole
New trailer for the Dragon Quest V movie
- Thread starter Regulus Tera
- Start date
Some people speculate Visual Works, and I found the Art Director and Director are tied to a studio who does big CG projects as well called Shirogumi? They did all lot of the other CG works the other two worked on as well. So I assume it is Shirogumi https://shirogumi.com/ probably with other production companies helping as well.

WHY THE FUCK IS THIS A MOVIE
WHY COULDN'T THEY JUST GIVE THE GAME A UE4 REMAKE AND INCLUDE SOME OF THIS JAW-DROPPING CGI INSTEAD
This looks incredible though seriously. I would say that they have now officially mastered Toriyama's art style in CGI (DQXI's CG is pretty but it looked a tad off sometimes, at least to me). Edit: actually this seems like Toriyama's art style but altered

This actually looks really nice. Like a more cartoony FF, but not overtly Dragon Ball/Toriyama. They'd never do it, but trying this style could be pretty cool. Maybe I shouldn't be the one to talk because I'm a relative newcomer to the series (started with VIII on 3DS in 2017, got into DQ XI at launch but haven't finished), but the series seems like it could use some rejuvenation.
At the very least, get a new composer, so many extremely talented folks who'd do such an amazing job. I understand why people don't want DQ to change, particularly because of FF's consistent troubles for almost 20 years, but just because one franchise is a little too hectic/prone to changing so often they "throw the baby out with the bathwater" doesn't mean that the other franchise staying rigidly the same forever is a great approach either.
Personally speaking, this artstyle, a slightly more modern battle system, a hybridization of DQ VIII's open world and DQ XI's linear maps, proper difficulty balancing (something between ultra easy and ultra hard/Draconian Quest), a bit more serious writing and a composer who still cares passionately about his/her craft, and Dragon Quest could really take off in the west IMO.
Edit: Oh and this may be a bit controversial IDK, but either ditch the silent protag or make them a proper avatar, with old western rpg dialog choices that actually change things. Still no voice like modern western rpgs, but with more frequent conversations with the cast and dialog that consists of more than "yes" and "no, no, no...yes".
Horii san, it really is not more immersive to inhabit a wooden plank of a hero, give some actual personality to their dialogue and let us express ourselves with them. Plus if you're gonna make them a blank slate, add a female option.

I was thinking of returning to my playthrough, I guess this movie is a good incentive to complete the game before release. Some of these Japanese 3D animations have a tough time balancing detail with exaggeration, as evidenced by the freckles on the protagonist's face, but it looks interesting, even if it ends up being more of a compilation of the story's highlights.
Well, I suppose the studio felt comfortable aping HtTYD for this father-son story featuring monster taming and a blonde love interest with a braid.

According to https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ne...g-anime-film-1st-trailers-reveal-cast/.145371, it seems as though the protagonist will be named Ryuka for the movie.
Depending on the running time I think they could cover the story quite well and show the passage of time elegantly through cutting and montage. In the game, the sense of scale is shown to us through the minute to minute, hour to hour journey. With a film a cut can convey time passing in such a way.
I think there's the potential here to make something beautiful. The director's previous film Sunset on Third Street had this gentle, nostalgic feel that I think could work well with Dragon Quest, I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Woah what, they're doing a DQ movie??
... Not the visuals I expected, but it looks pretty neat! Looking forward to this.
So since I haven't actually played it I don't know how things will affect the game down the line, but...

you think they'll make slight variations of the film for the different marriage choices? Kind of like a Pokemon B/W movie or the Clue movie? If it's supposed to be YouR story then that would probably be pretty important to some people.
