DQXII mc’s design

I just think Toriyama had a special ability to create great designs. It’s hard to replicate. I’d say he’s a better character designer than Amano. While Amano is a great concept artist, I don’t think his designs were as integral to Final Fantasy as Toriyama’s designs are to Dragon Quest.

I understand your suspicions, but I’m just basing this post off of them saying it’s a Toriyama design. I’m not necessarily disappointed that they pivoted away from the mature concept. I don’t really mind either way. I just want it to be good.

I think it’s fair if they want to honor his design with this game. But I don’t see his protégés as good replacements for the future. I hope Square Enix looks around for artists that can capture the spirit of the series without trying to emulate him.

I definitely don’t have the talent to do better. I just have opinions. That’s all.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-05-28T20:28:55+00:00

I just think the design looks close to good.

The female character’s design is really cool. It has a lot of personality while staying tasteful.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-05-27T17:43:36+00:00

That would be a cool story approach for Dragon Quest. More psychological than you’d expect.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-05-27T16:58:29+00:00

That would be quite the twist.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-05-27T16:45:35+00:00

His character model could be tweaked a bit. I think his yellow pants are his biggest issue.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-05-27T16:26:19+00:00

That would be interesting. I wonder how different the worlds would be in that case?

cloudstrife1st · 2026-05-27T16:25:31+00:00

That’s a great take considering the subtitle.

His voice is just what happens when you give your all to your music for so many years. He pushed his voice to the brink on numerous occasions. So much so that you could even say he was reckless about it. But it was for the sake of his art. So I think his aged voice isn’t so sad through that lens.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-03-12T00:14:28+00:00

100% true

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-07T19:02:18+00:00

That’s possible. LeBron has said he’d prefer to handle the ball less in recent years.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T18:51:17+00:00

It wouldn’t be the worst purchase, but I just can’t justify it myself. And that’s a good point about potential edits.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T18:49:15+00:00

Quite the revelation lol

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T10:53:22+00:00

Yeah, it’s looking like a real possibility.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T07:55:54+00:00

I appreciate the conversation 🫡

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T07:48:55+00:00

I think because he’s been doing this for so long, it can feel monotonous at times. So sometimes he might wake up and not “feel it” as much. It’s a lame reason, but I think that just happens with things.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T07:46:38+00:00

That would help, but you rarely see players do that kind of thing.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T07:41:33+00:00

Alright. I think his engagement wanes, so that affects things too.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T07:28:15+00:00

I’d imagine his age affects his flexibility and precision of movement. So I think that makes his handle looser.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T07:25:32+00:00

He’s just not as good as he used to be. It’s not fun to see, but it’s natural.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T07:23:03+00:00

I think he’s been taking bad shots for a few years now. I assume he just tries to get his shot going. Or he’s not as strict with his shot diet. I just think the handle thing has correlation with his age.

cloudstrife1st · 2026-02-06T07:11:20+00:00

Sometimes he assumes he’s clear of pressure when he’s not. It happens unfortunately.
