slick1109 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I wonder if there will be a release in English. Maybe once it gets released on DVD/Bluray they might add English Dubs to the disc. Then again, considering how long it takes most of the games in the series to be released in English, I wont hold my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parapraxis Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Interesting, never played DQ, but will be grabbing DQ 11 soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xykan Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Another video game adaptation. No mention of Square Enix's Visual Works so far. What could go wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm hoping it'll look like Dragon Quest XI does during cutscenes, but I'm extremely doubtful. Apparently this movie is also based around the DQ5 world and characters from my understanding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUNimation or Viz Media would be most likely to license this, if not someone more kid friendly like Shout Factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
