Dragon Quest XII Fans Theorize Hero Becomes Humanoid Dragon in Dreams After New Trailer
6 articles · Updated · Forbes · May 28
Online discussion around Dragon Quest XII has centered on a theory that the newly shown humanoid dragon is the protagonist’s dream form rather than a separate character.
The trailer for Beyond Dreams shows the sleep-troubled hero and a dragon-like figure with similar hair, matching armor and the same sword, fueling speculation they are the same person.
Fans also linked the weapon to a simplified version of Dai’s sword from The Adventure of Dai, whose hero is part dragon, though others argue it may just be a standard broadsword.
The theory remains unconfirmed, but the reveal has already sparked broad debate over how the game’s dream motif could shape its story.
Is the hero's rumored dragon form a direct evolution of the Dragon Knight legacy from The Adventure of Dai?
Why did Dragon Quest XII's developers scrap a 'mature' story for the new 'Beyond Dreams' theme?
