If they switched to a generic anime art style like Tales - no
If they tried to replicate his style - maybe

What about the horrible mid OST ?I think, Toriyama designs are nowaday the lamest part of the DQ saga.
Said it...
You can burn me now.
That's okay. I can see it going either way. But if you are making big changes already, it wouldn't be too out of place to change the style. Of course with a series as old and iconic as Dragon Quest, I'm sure that would ruffle a lot of feathers. I think it would be an interesting change due to how traditional the series has been to this point. This all depends on the new kind of style used and such.I disagree, having big changes of even more of a reason to maintain his style to keep at least some familiarity.
My favorite Dragon Quest bootleg was the first two generations of Pokèmon. They sure captured those eyes!My favorite Dragon Quest was a spinoff, Dragon Quest: Chrono Trigger.
For FF, the logos all have the same style. The music is also consistent across the games, albeit adhering to their games styles. It’s nice that FF can be free form with its styles, it allows for easier translation of FF into different genresYes but only if its a spiritual sequel franchise but not DQ exactly n whichever style they go with it'd more than likely be something somewhat off-putting.
Everyone doesn't like Toriyama's style but it works for DQ because once seen, you know you're looking at DQ.
So as long as they mirror that same distinct stylization aspect, there's a good chance of survival.
It's similar to the Atlus mainstays of Shin Megami and Persona. You know when you're looking at it.
Pokemon as well, to a point.
If anything it's crazy that FF never imprinted a certain look to their games. Well, you know what I mean. From snes to Playstation 1 to ps2 to ps3, constantly shifting.
