Best 5 JRPG Games Featuring Akira Toriyama's Artwork
From the recently released SAND LAND to the unknown Blue Dragon or Chrono Trigger, we are fascinated by the artwork of Akira Toriyama. Let's see some of these.
SAND LAND
Sand Land, in a dramatic way, marks the farewell of one of our greatest storytellers, Akira Toriyama. Through this journey, we see his artistic evolution move from Dragon Ball's fast action and explosions of his signature anime style, all the way to this introspective desert adventure. Though an element of sadness remains when knowing this may be his final work, Sand Land serves instead as a celebration. Sand Land isn't without its flaws; some side quests may feel repetitive and the combat system might lack some of the depth craved by hardcore action game fans; nonetheless, these minor shortcomings won't take anything away from your experience - its greatest strength lies in being pure fun - something too seldom experienced today when gaming comes out with all-inclusive offerings like Sand Land does!
Blue Dragon
The art style of Akira Toriyama has left an indelible imprint on the JRPG universe contributing to the success of so many games, from iconic characters of Dragon Ball and the whimsical charm of Dragon Quest to lesser-known titles like Blue Dragon about whom I will say a few words here. This is maybe the only game that did not receive mainstream recognition. However, this game - filled with potential yet rarely recognized - should never have fallen under the radar. One must appreciate Blue Dragon for its artistic prowess before discussing its content because Toriyama's signature style can be seen throughout the game. Blue Dragon's characters boast their spiky hair and exaggerated features. They are brought here straight out of a Dragon Ball manga pages, while its vibrant world, full of floating islands and ancient ruins, provides an exciting sense of adventure reminiscent of classic JRPGs.
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Dragon Ball FighterZ serves as an important tribute to Akira Toriyama's legacy and visual storytelling within the fighting game genre. While we honor a master artist like Akira Toriyama with our memory of him and his masterpieces, Dragon Ball FighterZ stands as an ongoing reminder of their lasting appeal and impactful enjoyment by fans worldwide.

While core elements remain constant over time; his art style has slowly transformed over time: earlier games had sharper lines with detailed designs while later entries feature smoother curves with rounder faces - so Dragon Quest serves as an accurate depiction of Akira Toriyama's video game artwork!
