Just read about this on Kotaku, yeah it's totally like Dragon Quest and even the pic is screaming Dragon Quest at me. Now, are we going to see something similar for Final Fantasy, that would be awesome for Japan and for the international audience.

Is this something like that Legend of Zelda-like live-action thing that sometimes air at 4 o'clock in the morning or something? Laughing

I think it's great that they're aiming for comedy. In fact I can't see it being done any other way without being so cheesy.

And the first line should be "27-year-old actor" not "acor". Wink

Neat idea, nice to see some new ideas out there that aren't based on a previous manga or light novel.

I think a Live action Legend of Zelda was made several years ago. I am pretty sure it was fan made, but at the time, the site looked like it was fan site, so it's hard to tell.

Anyway, given that I've played every Dragon Quest game (and yes, every Dragon Warrior one as well) this concept could work. But because ratings matter, I have a feeling it's going to focus more on comedy than a actual plot.
