Dragon Quest 12 has been rebooted from scratch after development difficulties, and no release date is known. The game’s subtitle changed from The Flames of Fate to Beyond Dreams. A first real trailer was released, showing a visually polished world and a cast of characters in Akira Toriyama’s distinctive style, including a lizard-like character. The hero design drew mixed reactions, with attention focused on the eyes and hair, which some viewers interpret as sleepy, ill, bored, or otherwise unusual. Fans proposed theories that the lizard character could be the hero in a dream world, supported by similarities in hairstyle, sword, and armor, and by hints of strange visions during sleep. Other theories suggest possible ties to Dragon Quest 9.
"Dragon Quest 12 has been rebooted "from scratch" after some developmental difficulties, and we still have no idea when it's coming. It's even got a new subtitle, changing from The Flames of Fate to Beyond Dreams. On the bright side, we did get our first real trailer for 12. And it looks mostly gorgeous, populated with an interesting cast of silly fellas in Akira Toriyama's signature style, including a lizard guy."
"This is the main protagonist of Dragon Quest 12, as revealed in the trailer, and fans have rightfully been pointing out since his unveiling that he looks...kinda not great? Something about his eyes. And his hair. Like he's really sleepy, or ill, or bored, or...a stoner? I don't know. But there are a lot of posts calling attention to it."
"Remember that lizard guy I mentioned earlier? Well, some fans have a theory that the lizard guy is actually the same person as the hero, just in a "dream" world. Same hairstyle, same sword, similar armor? Sure. This suggestion could have some merit, too, as Dragon Quest 12 follows a hero who is "beset by strange visions in their sleep." We don't know much more about Dragon Quest 12's story than that, but I can kind of see the resemblance in the two guys above, and we don't actually see both of them together in the same place during the trailer."
