toriyama has sadly passed away at the age of 68, gone to soon from dragon quest, to dragon ball, dr slump, chrono trigger and more he left an amazing legacy that will be loved and fondly remembered by those across the globe for years to come
any character he designed or took influence on is something you recognize on sight to be that unmistakably notorious is the sort of fame any human would crave, and just as notoriously, the man was egoless in spite of that how I will miss him with the rest of you
yea, first time i saw that i was thinking "why did that big tree become a dragon and fly" i am now hit with the big sad when seeing yggdragon/yggdrasil
May God bless the legend that is Akira Toriyama, artist of this franchise from the very beginning, as well as Chrono Trigger, and of course, Dragon Ball.
I'm a huge JRPG fan. I count Suikoden 2, Persona 4, Grandia, Xenogears, Xenosaga III, maybe even one or two of those Tales games as some of my all time favorite games. However I came into contact with Dragon Quest and even Final Fantasy really late. I liked some of the FF games, but DQ never really clicked for me. Even playing DQ9 in coop with my wife wasn't that enjoyable to me as it was for her and Dragon Quest 8 felt really dated to me. On top of that, I always disliked the aesthetics of Toriama's character style. BUT! For some reason, I fell in love with the looks of Dragon Quest 11 immediately. And while still feeling classic, the gameplay wasn't stiff at all. It was modernized in the right parts and now I would say, that Dragon Quest 11 is one of the best JRPGs, I've ever played. It even scratches all these classics of my personal favorites. This is such a good game. I absolutely didn't expect it. I bought it for my wife again, but ended up platinuming it immediately after >148 hours.
I'm still debating whether to get this game now... or wait for the Switch version so I can have portability (which I prefer with my RPGs) at the cost of paying more for the game. I can already tell you which option appeals to me more from a financial standpoint.
oh question sir :o i so wanna buy DQ11 (actually i play DQB2) . for the episodes of the main serie , can i play 11 before any older , or do i have to play em from 1 to 11 to get the whole story? :o
Rest in peace Master Sugiyama Koichi. May your musical work live forever in our memory. For me it was always synonymous of adventure. Thank you for everything.
Bought the game some hours ago, and felt the same you described: I feared it would be a simple RPG, but the opening dissipated all initial doubts. I feel relieved now. Back to play!
The ps4 version has bad music made with trashy midi samples outside this intro movie you just watched. Wait for the Switch version, it's going to be better in so many ways. Its literally called the definitive edition.
Hoy acaba de morir un gran amigo, Dragon Quest era su saga favorita. Recuerdo que tarareabamos la canción de introducción, solo vengo aquí a recordarte amigo descansa en paz.
Ah, perdon no lei, lo bueno es que a ambos les gustaba dq, de mi grupo nadie juega jrps, todos son fanboys de fortnite o rocket league. Lamento lo de tu amigo
my god i don't think i'll ever get over this opening. it's just... so *beautiful!!!!!!!!!* first and only dq i've ever played, can't wait to see more from this series
Ain’t no way I just realized that it was Veronica in the beginning. I’m 60 hours in and I just realized through this video, I’m impressed at how slow I can be. 😆
I can't wait to have DQXI as my first DQ game experience of that wonderful world. Square Enix have not made it easy for me to get into DQ when their advertising of it is literally non existent, so I found out about it way too late. I actually found out about DQ randomly going through the 3DS e-shop 3+ years ago and a friend told me it's huge in Japan but I didn't look into it enough until Switch was brought to existence. Now with Switch I'm finding hundreds of franchises I have never heard of and cared about but now I want them all! I'm extremely excited to get into DQ through my Switch. I'm hoping DQ: Builder 2 turns out to be what I wanted DQ: Builder 1 to be. I would love to have DQ: Rivals too. The only card game I freaked out about when I saw it. I need that game.
Everytime I boot up DQ11 on my Xbox, I NEVER skip the opening. Everytime I listen to it I feel like I'm a kid again, ready to go on an adventure. Never grow old!
Jo Al I'm very happy it's going to steam since the switch version won't be out forever because I've been looking forward to this game heavily too..... I really wanted to play it on switch first but there's no way I'm waiting another year to play it
Played the american Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) 1, 2, 3, and 4 as a kid, lost the series in the PlayStation era, found this. It is everything you want from an RPG. Tactical combat, exploits, Jade being obvious cannon wife...
First Dragon Quest game I’ve ever bought and played and still am and I love the hell out of it I never skip the intro cause it’s amazing everytime and I just can’t and I’m definitely going to buy them from now on
We finally get something from the western version of the game! I can't wait to have this on my Switch. Holy shit, this is the first thing we hear and see anything of it for more than a year or so. I see they went with voice acting. That explains why it's been taking way longer than it should have to be ready for us in the west. I would have been more than fine without the voice acting so we could have gotten it way sooner but at least it's coming.

how I will miss him with the rest of you
What about blue dragon his oc was a medal merchant in that game god I miss blue dragon ...but not as much as I miss him :,(
I've been rewatching it's anime since the news broke@@subjectnivleis7572
This will be my very first time playing this game.. I’m beyond excited
Rest in peace Akira Toriyama.
He's with the Supreme kais now :,(
this intro is missing the creepy sales man that follows me everywhere I set camp into
Aval
Salesman: Don’t mind me fellas. I’m just gonna stand here and watch you sleep and hope you buy something :)
welcome to my roving emporium
Yeah he is creepy but I never thought about it 😂
*this*
"What are you buying? What are you selling??"
It's really amazing how much you'll notice in the intro once you finish the game...
Specifically the very end of the intro.
yea, first time i saw that i was thinking "why did that big tree become a dragon and fly"
i am now hit with the big sad when seeing yggdragon/yggdrasil
I just finished it recently, never thought this opening showed so much.
True, just annoying you see adult Veronica and get stuck with her as a kid most the game, along with all the character development of act 2 haha
Yeah, it totally spoils the first 25% of the game.
the one of the best opening movie of game i ever have seen
EXACTLY
one of the best, Id say its my favorite, but its REALLY close to the world ends with you opening for me though.
Fax📠
Sonic Team: Wot?
It really is amazing, this magnificent sense of grand adventure it's emitting is so incredible.
No joke, I actually cried the first time I heard it in game.
Justin Koenig Same its so Beautiful
それな
yes the modern orchestra did it right retro game music vs modern its a debate able topic
indeed
Same
Honestly the opening gets better and better as you progress through the story
Thanks Akira Toriyama...
2:17 the moment the music syncs with the dragon flying... Art of the highest level 😢❤
Goodbye sir Koichi Sugiyama, your works will never be forgotten.
This intro makes me teary every time
May God bless the legend that is Akira Toriyama, artist of this franchise from the very beginning, as well as Chrono Trigger, and of course, Dragon Ball.
I’m going to make my second run, after more than 160 hours in my first.
This intro still gives me shivers. Such a masterpiece.
It frustrates me at how little this series is celebrated in the West. Hopefully this entry fixes that. September 4th can't get here fast enough!
Agree. I like this series overall better then FF.

I'm waiting for the Switch release, hopefully the Hero being in Smash gets others to buy this game now!
oh question sir :o i so wanna buy DQ11 (actually i play DQB2) . for the episodes of the main serie , can i play 11 before any older , or do i have to play em from 1 to 11 to get the whole story? :o

🥺🥺🥺
rest in peace Akira Toriyama
This game neeeds more people to talk about it i just finished it it's genus and great
Bought the game and when I saw this opening it gave me maximum hype for it.
Bought the game some hours ago, and felt the same you described: I feared it would be a simple RPG, but the opening dissipated all initial doubts. I feel relieved now. Back to play!
I bought the game a little later
I'm so excited to get this game on my PS4 because smash peaked my intrest in it. It looks drop dead gorgeous.
I’m not sure if you already have it, but I promise you, you won’t regret buying it.
if you don't already buy it, wait switch version because they add some expansion story related on switch that very probably doesn't come for ps4
Getting the ps4 version is a bad idea, the switch version is only a month away and puts the ps4 version to shame.
The ps4 version has bad music made with trashy midi samples outside this intro movie you just watched. Wait for the Switch version, it's going to be better in so many ways. Its literally called the definitive edition.
Wellp, those replies didn't age nice
Still think this is one of the best jrpgs ever, despite the 3rd act not being so good and the ost as well. RIP Akira Toriyama
Rest in peace Akira Toriyama. Thank you for the amazing adventures.
I've started playing it a week ago. The nostalgia from journey of the cursed king put a tear in my eyes. This game is even better
Who came here to honor Akira Toriyama?! Cause I do! 😭
I was 4 when I first heard Dragon Warrior I overture on my old NES. 29 years later, watching this beautiful cinematic makes me tear
I beat this game a year and a half ago and the nostalgia is already kicking in
Hoy acaba de morir un gran amigo, Dragon Quest era su saga favorita. Recuerdo que tarareabamos la canción de introducción, solo vengo aquí a recordarte amigo descansa en paz.
Q pedo? Quien murio? Por favor que no haya sido toriyama sensei
Ah, perdon no lei, lo bueno es que a ambos les gustaba dq, de mi grupo nadie juega jrps, todos son fanboys de fortnite o rocket league. Lamento lo de tu amigo
@@roymain8090 Gracias por el apoyo, y que pena bro espero conozcas amigos que disfruten de esta saga. Eso son los momentos que quedan.
Tu amigo ya se encuentra en Yggdrasil :') un abrazo amigo mucha fuerza
@@elianpineda5193 Muchas gracias amigo!
Even with all the covid-related problems during the opening of the olympic games, that beginning with the overture was epic as fuck.
my god i don't think i'll ever get over this opening. it's just... so *beautiful!!!!!!!!!* first and only dq i've ever played, can't wait to see more from this series
Gives me chill everytime i hear it. Should i play this again...
this game was a dang masterpiece
Ain’t no way I just realized that it was Veronica in the beginning. I’m 60 hours in and I just realized through this video, I’m impressed at how slow I can be. 😆
RIP Akira Toriyama
This game got me through a bad time in my life after my house burned down.
It quite simply means SO MUCH to me.
the real brazilian national anthem
Am glad the game has voice acting for the western version. I was afraid it wasn't going to, props to SE.
just finish it yesterday, and i must say, it's the best rpg i've ever played in the recent years.
thanks for bringing this on the west!
After DBS Ending for now It's time to go into another world of Akira Toriyama!!!!!
I can't wait to have DQXI as my first DQ game experience of that wonderful world. Square Enix have not made it easy for me to get into DQ when their advertising of it is literally non existent, so I found out about it way too late.

Rest in peace Akira Toriyama. Your impact, your work, the people you’ve inspired will go on for hundreds of years to come.
What i like about this overture, is it tells you that your in for a journey, and it delivers exactly that !
First we Lost Sugiyama... Now weve Lost Toriyama... Dragon Quest might lose its identity.. unless Toyotaro takes over as Character designer
Thank you Akira Toriyama
that akira toriyama art work is still epic it holds tears
Everytime I boot up DQ11 on my Xbox, I NEVER skip the opening. Everytime I listen to it I feel like I'm a kid again, ready to go on an adventure.
Never grow old!
This is such a good game I'm currently on my first play through.
Gracias Akira... Nos has regalado una sana felicidad a muchos y en diferentes formas...
Dragon Quest XI is my most anticipated game of the year! How exciting. And on Steam, too? I did not expect that.
Jo Al I'm very happy it's going to steam since the switch version won't be out forever because I've been looking forward to this game heavily too..... I really wanted to play it on switch first but there's no way I'm waiting another year to play it
Jo Al it's my most anticipated game since 2004!
i have it on Steam and it runs great
@@MrElladion look what came on xbox
Gracias por todo Akira, descansa en paz
This game has by far thee best soundtrack I've ever heard. And it's is again, by far thee best game I have ever played. I love this game so much
Thats a game that i will remember my whole life
when that music kicks in you know you're going to go be in one hell of an adventure
Absolutely incredible theme!
Such a good game holy shit. I played DQM2 in my childhood and this was a new chapter of joy for me.
My heart warms with a nostalgic joy with this music...
pues vuelve a escucharla
Grazie Akira Toriyama🌸🕊
You should be thanking square enix they are the publisher for dragon quest 😂
@@bryancook6345 Akira Toriyama designed the characters and monsters
FINALLY. THE IS AMAZING
The is amazing.
Such a good game. Looking forward to the next one .
rest in peace koichi sugiyama it's sad. i wonder how much work he did working on the 12th game
Dragon Quest is so peak that it does not have a single bad main entry, hell even the spin offs are pure fire, my favorite JRPG franchise
It sounds like the brazilian national anthem
I cry every time i listen to this
Uno de los videojuegos más mágicos que he jugado en mi vida
There's actually eight deadly sins. Skipping this intro is the eighth.
Revived my lover for the legendary series.
R.I.P. Kouichi Sugiyama
Played the american Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) 1, 2, 3, and 4 as a kid, lost the series in the PlayStation era, found this. It is everything you want from an RPG. Tactical combat, exploits, Jade being obvious cannon wife...
1:33 He founds the future of baseball in Erdrea
I could watch this intro all day it’s amazing
Finally! The hype is real.
Descansa en paz kouichi sugiyama
Brazil Reference🤨?
Thanks Akira Toriyama
When I will play this game in spanish I will be the most happy man. The quality of this game is amazing.
This brings me into tears of joy
0:41 play silhouette.
It is now an anime.
lmao underrated comment. actually so good
You know, one day we might get a DQ game that plays at pretty as this opening. *I can't wait.*
This game is gonna be so awesome
This is so.. beautiful..
First Dragon Quest game I’ve ever bought and played and still am and I love the hell out of it I never skip the intro cause it’s amazing everytime and I just can’t and I’m definitely going to buy them from now on
Ok but Imagine a Chrono trigger remake with cutscenes like this
The hype train is chugging at full speed!
Finished the JP version, let's just say the story, aside from the visuals, is just amazing.
If you’re like me and never skipped the intro, you earned this -> 👑
I don't understand why the new DB movie can't have animation like this
Gracias por todo maestro Toriyama
Why can’t cg in anime be this good
Seriously. Hire Square Enix to make a CG Anime and it will be fucking beautiful
Money
The music is great and wonderful - I love it. *___*
We finally get something from the western version of the game! I can't wait to have this on my Switch. Holy shit, this is the first thing we hear and see anything of it for more than a year or so. I see they went with voice acting. That explains why it's been taking way longer than it should have to be ready for us in the west. I would have been more than fine without the voice acting so we could have gotten it way sooner but at least it's coming.
sadly you will have to wait atleast another year to get it on the switch as the release date is only for the ps4 and pc version.
@@JockeTG at least it was worth the wait.
Me siento viejo por esto juego y apenas es mi primer dragón Quest xd algo tiene la música que me hace sentir eso
La música tiene historia, se repite en todos los juegos eso lo hace antigua y grandiosa
Is that last part brother where something in my chest starts coming out.
Beautiful 👏
los odio por hcaer un juego tan perfecto,siempre que veo esto me dan ganas de llorar de la emocion
THANK YOU! But please hurry up on the Switch version and PLEASE consider releasing the 3DS version in the West!!!! I'd buy them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Number 17 quits from being an evil android and starts to fight darkness
CANNOT FREAKING WAIT
I always finish the intro before loading my game.. im at gondolla at the moment🤣🤣🤣
I'm at the part where vercionca died
SirTChamp im at the part where fuck you for spoiling this game for me wtf
I'm at the part where you have to beat Krystalinda
Greatest jrpg ever made! I just love this game! 🤩
I fucking love this intro. It's exactly like a PIXAR movie.
happy 35th anniversary dragon quest!!! :3
There has got to be a version of dragon quest 11 on Netflix! I would watch it
I can't turn evil . This makes me want to be the hero !
Me siento muy heróico cada vez que escucho el tema de apertura. ⚔
