Last month, we found out the CG-animated movie Dragon Quest: Your Story would be coming to the popular streaming service Netflix.
If you've been looking forward to this one or need something to watch this Valentine's Day that isn't Sonic the Hedgehog, this might be of interest. Below is the synopsis and official announcement:
Luca follows in his father's footsteps to rescue his mother from evil Ladja. Finding the heavenly hero who wields the Zenithian sword is his only hope.
if it sounds familiar, it's because the film is based on Dragon Quest V, which first released on the Super Famicom and was eventually remastered for the Nintendo DS.
Will you be booting up Netflix to watch this movie? Leave a comment down below.

Is this dub or sub?
Watched it earlier, really enjoyed it. It doesn't stick rigidly to the story of the game and misses a fair bit out, which is my only complaint really. Could've easily been another 20 minutes long or even chopped up into a series because there's so much to squeeze in. The ending is rather genius though. Animation is fantastic and if someone told you Pixar was behind this you wouldn't doubt them. I would definitely love to see an original story told using this style.
For those asking it has Japanese audio with English subtitles or even a full English dub (and various other languages)
@Baker1000 @Supadav03 Yep, Netflix offer a wide variety of languages on pretty much all their content, especially animation. There’s dub and sub.
@nessisonett awesome, thanks! I’ll probably check it out this weekend. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I prefer dubbed anime.
Oh cool... download for my commute tomorrow.
Hey remember when you guys spoiled this?
Nice! Too bad I don't have Netflix.
I like that determined expression on that Slime. It makes me think he could become a breakout character.
@Baker1000 It's not available for me yet. Assuming you got it somewhere else?
Back yes! This movie looks so good to me!
Well, I just finished the film and it was...both shorter than I expected, and weird.
That ending...I can see why it caused such an uproar in Japan, when it was first released.
Oh nice the thing you guys spoiled
You know, it would actually be nice for games that are spread across different platforms and have a storyline could do more adaptations of the previous titles like this. Woukd be really handy to not worry about buying a ps2 Return to Wolfenstein and 3 later titkes before starting on the Switch games etc.
@Supadav03 Preferring dubbed is definitely not the unpopular opinion. It just seems that way because people who watch subtitled feel like they have to brag about it as they think you have to be highly intelligent to read words and look at pictures.
@mesome713 I went to the Sonic movie yesterday, it's actually quite good. It's not perfect, but I've seen video game movies been a LOT worse. I give it an 8/10. Which is absolutely high for the genre.
Double checked on Google to see if it had Japanese Audio with Eng Subs & the third entry down on the results spoils the ending in the first sentence.
@Baker1000 should have just read your post! Thanks ^_^
I thought it was pretty good. Interesting ending. It would be good if a dvd/blue-ray release got an alternate ending that was... you know, not.... 😉
@Supadav03 both
@Anri02 I remember when one of the commenters here spoiled it. It got deleted but having not played the game, it did lower my excitement for the film after being spoilt.
That and the person arrogantly defending their spoiling.
@Big_Fudge Not sure if I prefer dubbed or subbed. I prefer the original Japanese voicing in animé but the subtitles are usually just AAAAWFUL. I am guessing that in the dubs, they at least TRY to localize instead of simple translation. But I often find the American voices annoying and out of place anyways, so it really is picking my poison.
The movie was great until that ridiculous twist. That just deflated me.
I so regret of buying the last dragon quest on switch. Game is boring.
I tried the demo and kinda liked it.
I like playing RPG’s but after I bought it I lost interest. Right now busy with fire emblem on switch and Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana.
These are so much better.
Also still need to finish octopath traveler.
I actually want to play these games, but don’t feel the same for dragon quest.
I was just watching this last evening. I didn't realize it was just put on Netflix. I watched Castlevania and Ni No Kuni recently as well. All very well made and worth a watch.
Definitely watching this!
I thought the movie was good I watched it twice in less then 2 hours The visuals are awesome but some of the character animations look a bit outa place but other than that it was fine. (SPOILER) Until you find out it was just a guy playing Dragon Quest the Experience than thats when I didn't like it, I don't know but something about making everything seem fake just I don't know. I thought it had good story and I wanted it to keep going but your figure its just a video game so not much you can do there.
@30mm Fire Emblem is alright on Nintendo switch I thought the battling was fun but when you have to wonder around the campus than thats where it gets kinda boring. I played the dragon quest Demo for Nintendo Switch it was pretty good but it was a 10 hour Demo so It became almost the same thing maybe because it was just the demo and I didn't want to play the demo anymore.
@Synthatron_Prime Ya me to I really liked the characters until you find out what everything is I totally agree with you.
@tseliot The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, my friend.
I pretty much stopped reading after "...follows in his father's footsteps..."
@Audiogore0733
The time in the monastery is to strengthen the bonds with people who you want in your party or want certain benefits from.
I find to split the limited time you have can be quite hard for what your trying to accomplish with your party.
Now that I’m further in the story I understand it better for the time management and regret that I didn’t spent more time there to build a certain team or some roles I want in my party.
But yeah in the beginning it was quite boring, but now I find I don’t have enough time to do what I want with my team.
Think my second run will be much better.
Takes time but fire emblem is a great game
Just watched it last night! This was really good, loved the look of it and the story, ending was a little odd but all and all it was great. Hope they make another!
Watched it, but I didn't think it was anything special. It was totally fine though.
@30mm I still enjoyed the game though.
