THIS! Adopting a style no longer reminiscent of Akira Toriyama's style/design philosophy would only contribute further to the homogeneous nature of modern games, and a decline in the franchise. His style is rightfully synonymous with Dragon Quest.

The issue with Dragon Ball in 3D is that Toriyama's designs don't actually make sense in 3D space. Goku's hair functions like Mickey Mouse ears, in that it just flips rather than rotates, and the way character's faces compress at 3/4 angles isn't grounded in reality.

I love Toriyama's art through and through but I always find the juxtaposition of how his style changed over the years so funny and interesting.

He improved in so many ways but I can't help but I love the roundness of this older stuff. https://t.co/ODjVUe8Pw3
