Ok, still better than the Dragon Quest 12 main character.If y'all want to cry about shitty looking character designs, the Persona 6 designs have supposedly leaked. Now THAT is some shitty looking MC design.

Zoomer Quest.
smh, come on everyone, I for one support Square making the first special needs main character in a JRPG (Netflix show is going to be fire, I can see it now) lol
I like how we all collectively stopped at the time to laugh at this character lol

Err.. I don't think is as bad as this, so I not entire sure about your point.
And comparing Akira artstyle with Persona... lets not go down that route.
I'm sure if Akira would be alive he wouldn't accept that main character design.

I find the Persona leak believable. The Dragon Quest design is offputting right away.
A lot of SMT/Persona MC designs are very samey to me.
And besides you never know if they will give you Blue Griffith like they did in SMT5.

Didn't Horii basically hint at this design being one of the last things Toriyama did?
Why not compare Shigenori Soejima and Akira Toriyama? Both are (were) amazing artists. And I think that this MC design for P6 (if the leak is true) is his weakest work. I think it looks like shit.
And while the MC design they've shown here for DQ12 isn't Toriyama's best, it's also far from his worst (that's DQ 5's "main" hero, imho). DQ11's MC design was also weird to me at first.

You know I loved this lantern in Super Man.
If they make the DQ12 hero a pompous jackass, I will 100% enjoy the game.

Thread title was Misleading.
We don't know when then they restarted Development.
The fact they showed gameplay suggests they restarted a while back.

Not as I remember. They are just saying they will keep Akira art direction.
And what other option they had? They did a DQ anime series with zero Akira artstyle and wasn't well receive.
They maybe know at this point that DQ fans also are Dragon Ball fans.

They should've asked ChatGPT to keep Toriyama's style but remove the soy, like whatLokaum D+ did.
They didn't give much context about WHY the game got reboot to begin with.
Because took like an absurd amount of time since the show the first title. I kinda worry about what was the reason behind the change because doing a move like that not only double the time of release, but also throw money into trash.

Yeah we all want to see what Flames of Fate was all about now more then ever.
They restarted development but they don't say when. Or why.
They say Toriyama's and Sugiyama's Characters/Music will still be in the game but don't go into detail what that entails especially since both are deceased. 2023 and 2021 respectively.
Asked to talk about the game and only are given a 2 sentence synopsis about MC being afflicted with dreams. Doesn't actually talk about the game in detail regarding world, combat, systems.
Reading between the lines you can glean they changed direction from "World of Darkness" to "Bright and exciting future". Which is a drastic change in tone.
Everything is very vague.
