Blue Dragon scans

if those are the in-game models, that's definitely a nice step-up from the closest thing I can compare it to (DQ8). No diminishing returns there.
 
It looks very good. Finally another Toriyama designed game that isn't DQ. Reminds me a bit of what Chrono Trigger might look like in 3D.
 
Nice. I can already see this game is going to have alot of style and artistic values to it. I honestly cannot wait for this game.

I don't like that bat character... dunno why. And that moth looks funny. :lol
Looks damn nice though. :D

this is that one artoon game right? :D
Yup.
 
The white background seems proof enough that game is still very far from completion.

Wonder if they will show anything new at Jump Festa this year?

At least a movie will be shown at Jump Festa. Hopefully it's not the same one with the white BG.

Exactly what i was thinking. Looking good but it must be really early.

Actually, it seems like the white background is part of the game... check out Sakaguchi's comment.

The models look nicely detailed, but I think they'd look better cel-shaded. It works so well with Toriyama's designs in DQVIII.
I think the DQVIII graphics look great, ... However, I am a big Dragonball fan, so I think I know Toriyama's art well, and those Blue dragon characters (if in-game) convey the art quite well, IMO :)

I think he's just talking about the lighting effects in the game.

We already knew this game was at least a year away, and these shots are consistent with that.

That moth looks like a Venomoth rip off.

:p

Sidenote: I didn't know Wikipedia has an entry for each Pokemon in the games. Someone has a lot of time on their hands. :p

On topic: The game looks good, though I don't know if Toriyama art was a really good idea for the game to begin with. Wait and see ...?

It's a joint MistWalker/Bird Studio/Artoon collaberation. Just as every Dragon Quest is a joint Armor Project/Bird Studio/other developer (Chunsoft, Heartbeat, Level 5, Arte Piazza, Tose, etc) collaberation. Takuya Matsumoto (Blinx 1-2, Nights, Ristar) is acting as director and Manabu Kusonki (Blinx, Panzer Dragoon 1-2, Azel) is handling the game's world view.
 
Wow, promising people in this project. But Artoon .... :lol

Some nice names from MistWalker/art/music, how sad they won't be used properly. Probably :)
 
I thought Sakaguchi was incharge of game design, with Artoon doing all the technical stuff..

Why would Sakaguchi go to the trouble of recruiting big name Japanese writers, musicians and artists then allow a mediocre developer to come up with something special? He must be heavily involved in development.

Not relaxing on a beach hoping Artoon will triumph with the material he's provided.
