If so… I’ve got you right where I want you- the same position the movie had lulled me into, actually. Suffice to say that the romance is entertaining.Īt this point you’ve probably come to the conclusion that this movie is a collection of RPG cliches produced for fan service. Does the protagonist end up finding his way back to his true love? I’ll have to let you find out that particular answer on your own. There is the obligatory budding romance that begins to materialize very early that is obstructed by a royal arrangement. “Your Story” checks all the typical boxes- in fact, it’s somewhat predictable within the first hour.ĭragon Quest fans and RPG fans in general will still likely be entertained regardless of the predictability due to some top notch animation, voice acting and a “Kefka-esque” villain with overtly diabolical plans. The hero comes to discover that his lineage isn’t as average as originally thought. A seemingly average, young villager sets out for a normal task and is abruptly flung into a dangerous, yet exciting adventure distraught with world (or time) altering ramifications.
SPOILER ALERT THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR DRAGON QUEST: YOUR STORY.ĭragon Quest: Your Story starts off in a way similar to Dragon Quest V, the video game that inspired it. The answer is a bit more complicated for we RPG fans, in this humble writer’s opinion, however the new animated movie Dragon Quest: Your Story does the best job to date of crafting the answer that we’ve all wished to convey to the casual crowd for years. It may be an existential query, or one that has most likely been posed to you by someone who just “doesn’t get it.” Depending on your favorite genre, the answer could be a myriad of things: camaraderie with friends if you enjoy multiplayer, critical thinking if you enjoy the strategy genre, and so on.
“What makes you a ‘gamer?’” This is the quintessential question that we all ponder at some point once we choose to take up our collective, favorite hobby.
