Very hum-drum, and I love my JRPGs. Some of the environments shown looked a little uninsriping, and a couple just look unfinished (that subterrainean cavern type one looked crap). Character designs didnt float my boat at all either. Looks like Toriyama is going for a different look to differentiate it from the work he's done with Square/Enix over the years.

Shame there's still no suggestion of how the game will play, as that's probably the most important facet for most people who'd be interested in this kinda game.

.::: I was rather astounded by the rather dull art-direction.

Then the name Artoon popped up.

And everything became crystal clear.

It has some nice bits, but I don't know... It doesn't excite me. In contrast Rogue Galaxy looks gorgeous next to it. Somehow this isn't grabbing me like DQ or CT despite Toriyama doing the designs. I really do hope it's still early stuff as I really want a JRPG for the 360. But I kind of went *groan* at the sight of hundreds of trolls with Ka... ehr, I mean hundreds of robots with the main kid flying towards them.

If this game runs at 60fps, then it will have after 30 seconds, more frames of animation than the entire run of the DBZ anime.

Hahaha. So very true old man.

As for that video, the environments and mechanical objects look great, but the character design isn't just generic, it's poor and uninspired. Shame really. They should've got the person that did the characters for Capcom's One Piece Mansion in or something.

Anyone who thinks the art direction is "boring", "lifeless" etc. is without a soul :(

Seriously, just look at it - and think of the effort that went into crafting something as crisp as that. It's a simple and recognisable art style, which is a breath of fresh air compared to the lolemo myspace designs of recent Final Fantasy games.

Besides the obvious, Toriyama's done much better character design than this. It might be that playing the game will change my mind but from looking at the screenshots, I can't imagine why anybody would get excited about it.

Whoop-dee-whoop, more angry looking Japanese juveniles and strange Cute Unknown Animals From Another Dimension.

I would appreciate the artstyle if I hadn't seen crap like this about a million times before in shitty saturday morning cartoons and generic PS2 JRPG games.

I think it's staggering, that videogames actually look like that. 10 years ago, that would be decent enough to be a CG animated TV series or something. It looks very solid, the art style is ok - I'd love to see Dragon Quest with this sort of visual fidelity though! :(
