Dragon Quest Heroes II's cinematic looks like a mobile game ad

*In-game graphics look nothing like these cheesy renders!



I guess the demographic for Japan is slightly younger too, but it really does feel like a poor and deeply generic effort. The game is out in a couple of weeks and will still sell truckloads across all three PlayStation formats, but I reckon the Vita will lead the way. Now all we need to know is will this and Builders come west!
