Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

[Fatmanonice]

For what it’s worth they lent the IP to Koei Tecmo for Musou, and they had Intelligent Systems make a DQ strategy game (not even kidding).

The Musou example was directed and produced by Square Enix but the Dragon Quest Wars game technically counts. Either way, Square Enix has had a pretty clenched fist on the series since it's creation.

 

[Axelocke]

So I just purchased the new Fire Emblem. Hopefully that'll bribe them not to put Edelgard or Byleth in Smash! Of course, no offense to any Edelgard or Byleth supporters!

It's a fun game for sure, definitely reminds me of Echoes, which I quite enjoyed! The changes in this game are fairly great. (except maybe Byleth being a mostly silent protag)

How's our starlad doing?

Hopefully within the hour, we will know. Supposedly, Hero is arriving SOON. Some are speculating either tonight or sometime during the weekend.

Also, I cannot wait to pick up Three Houses! I didn't have the time to reserve a copy.

EDIT: I could see the video dropping tonight.

I sincerely doubt it'll be over the weekend. If it's not tonight, it'll be next week at some point.

It is technically 8 AM Saturday in Japan right now. The video could drop in an hour with a release planned later. Maybe...

So... not only did my limited edition of Three Houses not arrive with the mail today (getting it on Monday at earliest because of it) because of the company that handles the mail here in Sweden are idiots most of the time, then my sister has an accident which put her in the Koma that I previously mentioned, but now I also were stuck in an elevator when I was on my way to visit the doctors to get the info on how she was doing (its not looking good right now., but the doctors said it hope were not lost yet at least)

This day has truly been glorious (big b"¤%" sarcasm)

Hopefully, The Hero is revealed soon so we can rip the bandage off that is the Mii Costume situation.

Life needs to cut you a freaking break, cripes. I'm so sorry. I sincerely hope she pulls through...

I’m so sorry to hear about everything you’re going through... I hope your sister makes a full recovery. Let us know if you need to talk about anything; I don’t know what help I can be, but my messages are always open to everyone.

Sorry to hear that. Though I don't know about you or your sister well, I can say I believe she can pull through in this situation. She can do it! Just do your part and believe in her!

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Noice, the Golem has been one of my favorite monsters, so it's good to see it in there.

The DQ spirit leak is telling me one thing, at least:

We know the stinginess and/or copyright hell situation is really just FF and possibly Squaresoft localized. Enix doesn't seem to have an issue with all the DQ content.

Enix: Sure, you can search through our art assets spirit team, go nuts.

Square:

You know things are bad when getting a Square character's spirit alone is caught in red tape.

To be honest, I'm probably more concerned with hearing the status of your sister than I am about when Hero information (Geno's fate) is dropping.
Keeping her in my thoughts and prayers that she has a smooth and speedy recovery!

 

[Fatmanonice]

A bit of an uplifting thing from the DQ leaks: DLC spirits don't have to be major characters. If Geno were to be #4 or 5, this means that any of the original art from SMRPG is free game which opens the possibilities up by a considerable amount.

 

[MattX20]

I was saying that the DQ heroes were likely a July release, and the fact the DQ spirits are being leaked as of today is just giving further evidence to prove it. Either tonight or no later than Wednesday is my guess of when they drop.

But was that all the spirits coming to Smash Bros?

 

[Glitch-EGamer]

Side note I just realized: In the Peach vs Zelda Death Battle, the fight opens up with a remix of Beware the Forest's Mushrooms. My mind was kind of blown just now.

Edit: Even the analysis part uses BtFM!

6 of the 8 seen so far are generic enemies, 1 is a mode of transportation, and 1 is a group shot like Joker had. Either way, it kind of kills the argument that the DLC spirits absolutely had to be major characters and that Geno and Mallow spirits had to be part of a theoretical SMRPG spirit board.

Mee too. I just wish that I would have some form of good news so to speak hench the "can we please just pull off the bandage already" thing.

Thank you for the support y´all. I appreciate it.

Do you have that group one?

 

[MattX20]

If Geno had a spirit board dedicated to Super Mario RPG, chances are they would be bosses mostly like Smithy and his minions, maybe Frogfucius, Boshi, and Mallow's parents too.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I started Three Houses but still haven't beat Ultimate Alliance 3. That Dr Strange fight is ridiculous. I think they need to patch Ulimate Alliance 3 and make it a little more casual like the installments before it, because that **** can be crazy compared to the other two.

To think that a Hershey's Kisses Goomba is helping to kill a little of the nonsensical spirits argument. What a day this is.

Basically everything that has a SMRPG render would work as a spirit

 

[Musubi]

Getting a spirit of all 5 party members in SMRPG would be really cool.

That might be the case but so far every franchise represented in the game touches on it's main characters before any less important ones. The only exception to this being Advance Wars and even then, I have my own theory as to why it is.

That being said, I see Geno potentially being individual DLC meaning he might not have to bring any additional Spirits from his series at all.

Joker vid was up at 9:00 sharp so probably not happening tonight

Time to writhe uncomfortably for the whole weekend then, I guess. Yay?

Let¨s hope that it is worth the wait :/

 

[CannonStreak]

Well, there is always Monday.

And the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next-I'm gonna get shot for this, am I?

 

[MattX20]

Given the recent mention of VR Plant from Sabi, chances are we're getting them likely before August first given how his comments often mean within days of posting them.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Do you have that group one?

Seems like there is at least one human spirit around: https://www-aaaba-lp1-hac.cdn.nintendo.net/img/spirits/spirits_1_brave_group.png

Here you go.

No kidding. DQ's heavy focus on minor character spirits so far really opens up what could be fair game for relevant Mii costumes.

 

[UberMadman]

I’m guessing tomorrow @ 9 EST is a trailer drop, planned for a Sunday release.

That boss fight of Strange’s second phase about made me rage quit and I also found it to be such an odd difficulty spike too. I eventually beat it after many deaths, but boss fights after that weren’t even that hard.

 

[T2by4]

Sorry guys. King K is deconfirmed.

The difference is that the K rool costume is free and that we're speculating that you have to PAY for the Geno Mii costume

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

>current state of the thread:

Spoiler

But seriously, at least wait until August before assuming anything important happens, thinking that Nintendo will announce something at the end of July is grasping for straws at this stage.

 

[ForsakenM]

Geno in other games series... Kingdom Hearts would be lit, considering how it has World Ends with You and FF, so Geno would fit in for sure.

Oh lord, not in Kingdom Hearts, for the love of god please! I don't want to have to not play the first game Geno shows up in after waiting this long due to principle.

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Okay then.

Say, Fatmanonice how often has Nintendo announced anything at the end of a month? Just want to clear it up and see if the universe is proving me wrong again, because the back and forth between July/August in regards to possible evidence of seeing Hero's release is getting tiresome.

That boss fight of Strange’s second phase about made me rage quit and I also found it to be such an odd difficulty spike too. I eventually beat it after many deaths, but boss fights after that weren’t even that hard.

Considering how powerful Strange generally is these days, that doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

 

[Fatmanonice]

I don't know about announcements but, counting full Directs, there's been literally two Directs in the last week of the month since 2012 with the latest being the Pokemon Direct back in February this year and the one before that being for Mario Kart 8 in 2014. This isn't to say it's impossible but Nintendo does seem to have a long history of avoiding announcing major things late in month, with the final Thursday a week before the final week sort of being an established cut-off.

But we musn't discount Sabi and VR Plant's recent comments, which are implying Wednesday at the latest.

 

[DaxMasterix]

Yeah but, even if it isn't at the end of July, the start of August is too ****ing near too.
They usually announce directs on wednesday, right? What about an announce on July 31st for August 1st.

Next Week, First week of August, I don't see too much difference there..

 

[TheCJBrine]

I see an announcement on the 2nd at the latest.
