Matt, I'm not sure what Dragon Quest games you've been looking at before DQ8 but most of them were super-deformed Akira Toriyama art. =/
Besides going into battle everything was super-deformed otherwise because that was the formula until they decided to use Akira Toriyama's art EVERYWHERE in DQ8.
The only RPG to really do Akira Toriyama completely before DQ8 was Chrono Trigger. Otherwise it was super-deformed and little elements of the game that used it.
So smashing an old school super-deformed vibe while maintaining an Akira Toriyama style shouldn't be much to complain about as long as there is still that epic Dragon Quest story that Level-5 managed to create in 8. If it's just a dungeon crawl like Children of Mana then there is reason to be disappointed but until that's confirmed I look forward to a full-fledged rpg with some SoM elements for my favorite handheld.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
