Look, holidaygirl1225.

I hold you to very high esteem as admin of this blog and I acknowledge you are not as informed as the rest of us experienced gamers.

So, I will make your destruction swift and painless.

First and foremost, Dragon Blazers 56 is NOT even being directed by the same people who masterfully crafted the original trilogy. Thus, the design philosophy of this new remake is way off. Diluted, if you will. Maybe some of those developers have played the original trilogy and understand why it worked so well, but as long as they are not the [x] group it'll just be the blind leading the blind.

This is evident in DB56's art direction as Dragon Blazers is inherently a nu-grimdark series and yet it looks like we'll be playing Cat Petterz the RPG in a few months with how utterly cartoonish the characters and their dialogue portraits are. How am I supposed to emmerse myself in this world now? How am I supposed to feel like the handsome, silent-but-deadly vigilante hero that Graves is if his nipples are obscured? They are flanderizing this series to the highest degree and you are enabling it.

Well, that's not really "swift", is it?

Why do you have such little faith in the people the original directors you're talking about picked to do this remake? To be honest, the Dragon Blazers franchise has been losing relevance for a while. It's good that their publishers even still care about the IP in the first place.
