Heroes Draw Near. Command? (Hero Social Thread)

[Warchamp7]

Thank you!!!

... did you by any chance add him to your roster/tier list maker? Or are you holding off until dlc characters are released?

Hero is added to Post Your Roster, yeah

 

[shinhed-echi]

Awesome! Thanks again! :D

Nice to see I can use him as background now.

 

[Teeb147]

Dragon Quest hero has been added to premium post backgrounds, postbits and smileys​

Nice.
The smiley doesnt seem to work tho.

 

[TheYungLink]

Hopefully we get the smilies of the other DQ Heroes as well, those being Erdrick's, Solo's, and Guv's / Eight's.

 

[Megadoomer]

Lore question, why's he called Guv? Governor?

 

[TheYungLink]

Lore question, why's he called Guv? Governor?

I haven't played DQ8 yet (my copy's coming in the mail) but one (or more?) of the party members in the game calls you "Guv" as a nickname. The voice acting uses British accents so yeah, it's short for "governor".

Here's some spirit battles I cooked up:
Slime (3 star) - Vs. 3 small, blue Kirbys and a blue Eight on Yggdrasil's Altar
Gwaelin (3 star) - Vs. yellow Peach and orange Solo on Great Cave Offensive (Omega form)
Alena (4 star) - Vs. blue Daisy and Solo on Castle Siege (first form, enemy has increased power on physical attacks)
Bianca (4 star) - Vs. green Rosalina and purple Erdrick on Skyloft (enemies heal over time)
Yangus (4 star) - Vs. green biker Wario and Eight on Wuhu Island (bridge section, enemy can deal critical hits)
Jessica (4 star) - Vs. red Lucina and red Luminary on Palutena's Temple (Omega form, enemy has increased power on special moves)
Sage (5 star) - Vs. Erdrick, blue Robin, and pink Robin on Yggdrasil's Altar (enemy's magic has increased power, enemy recovers health)
Luminary's Party (5 star) - Vs. blue Sheik, pink Villager, green Zelda, red Corrin, blues shorts Zero Suit Samus, and the Luminary on Yggdrasil's Altar (reinforcements appear).

Great post but where's Rab?

Great post but where's Rab?

Could red Dr. Mario work as a stand-in of Rab?

Luminary's Party (5 star) - Vs. blue Sheik, pink Villager, green Zelda, red Corrin, blues shorts Zero Suit Samus, and the Luminary on Yggdrasil's Altar (reinforcements appear).

Needs more monsters:
Dragonlord (5 star) - Vs. Blue Robin and Big Blue Charizard as a reinforcement on Hyrule's Castle (Omega Form, enemy has increased power on Fire and Magic attacks)
Estark (5 star) - Vs. Blue Ganondorf on Castle Siege (second form, enemy has random FS)
Dracky (1 star) - Vs. 3 small Gray Meta Knights on Yggdrasil's Altar
Metal Slime (3 star) - Vs. Gray Metal Kirby on Yggdrasil's Altar (stamina battle, opponent has brief moments of vulnerability)

 

[Slime Master]

Could red Dr. Mario work as a stand-in of Rab?

Yeah, that seems reasonable.

Also, the potential choices for spirits is an interesting topic to me. There's a bunch of different directions or themes they could go for: we could get particularly popular party members, particularly iconic monsters, the remaining heroes, demon lords, some combination of those things, or anything else I'm overlooking. Personally gunning for a gem slime for obvious reasons.

Hoping for an Eight emote in the future!

Nintendo's european account just tweeted today a reminder that hero's in the fighter's pass....i sense an overview trailer is coming

Well, still nothing. Then again, it’s only been a day (that felt like a week).
Hopefully by the end of the next week now.

I'm kind of hoping they release it on a future weekend as a reference to how Enix had to release Dragon Quest games on weekends after what happened with Dragon Quest III with all the school-skipping in Japan and all.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

I'm awaiting the day when Eddy's avatar shows up, should be fun to see how far off the mark the custom one here is.

Wasn't that revealed to be an urban legend?

 

[GolisoPower]

Wasn't that revealed to be an urban legend?

For a while, yeah, but just last year, Yuu Miyake, producer of the Dragon Quest games admitted that there was a large influx of kids skipping school in Japan so that they can line up and buy Dragon Quest III. Here's the quote:

In short, yes that is true. When Dragon Quest III came out, tons and tons of kids skipped school to go buy the game. The police actually said, 'You guys need to do something about this. This is not okay.' [This was] back in the era of Enix, and so Dragon Quest started being sold only on Saturdays. Actually, it's the only [series] sold on Saturday.

youre setting yourselves up for frustration if you think for sure that nintendo of europe posting about the fighter pass means it's coming soon. It's a nice thought that can be cool.. but i think it's better to just put it out of mind and spend energy elsewhere if the wait isn't fun, personally ;p

Well, day activities since I started to lose patience:
Day 1: Uploaded a product in Etsy.
Day 2: Downloaded a tmnt fangame
Day 3: Finished tmnt fangame
Day 4: Finished Sonic 3 A.I.R.
...
Let’s see, for day 5 I might download another fangame, and investigate how to make a website on Wix. (Please don't make fun of me, I suck at anything coding and website/page making).

That’s it for my following plans.

As for the release date. I’m banking on 4th of July earliest, mid July latest.

 

[Deleted member]

I want Hero to be out as soon as possible.

The wait is getting into myself.

Hopefully if he takes a long time to be released, UA3 and DQB2 will keep me busy in the meantime.

Right now I just feel stressed, tense and irritated about the day I had.

But I want to believe that tomorrow all will be better.

yeah...yesterday i was just anxious about storms and now I'm just relaxing cause for once the weather looks to be calm

 

[Teeb147]

I think a good way to pass the time could be to play other games. Like say dragon quest ;p

That or enjoying the the weather (for those that dont have storms, i guess)

I'm playing Joker 2!
Right off the bat, I like it more than Joker 1.
But still.. I have but minutes to play things, so.. I can't really resort to playing much. :D

I was bored trying to find something to do while my copy of DQ8 came in the mail, which was supposed to be Thursday, but it came in the mail today: way earlier than it was supposed to!

Finally life is good again~

 

[Munchi]

There is something new

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Playing through DQ8, got to the point where you have to help the spoiled prince.

Gotta love them difficulty spikes.

West of the hunting grounds is a forest with a good metal slime rate if you want to grind there.

Totototo decided to do 8-bit alts, so the rest of the quartet isn't left out!

Is the one next to Guv supposed to be Joker? Its such a jumbled up mess that i cant tell.

Yes, that would be him.

So I started Dragon Quest VIII on my 3DS.

It looks like the game fully heals my character once they level up, unlike any of the previous 7 games, meaning DQ8 is for tiny little babies.

Yeah I found that one odd as that wasn't in the original ps2 release. Made grinding less tedious at least with quick saves.

Alright so we have a problem.

Thankfully we have a bit of hope because Sakurai was vague.

So let's pray that the command window isn't RNG based or we're in a bad spot. We would have to go full on modern Tetris and determine if it's truly random or if it's done in bags (In Tetris a bag contains one of each tetromino in a set with the order being random. This is used to prevent droughts where the player would be at the mercy of RNG to give them the piece they need.)
I'm thinking he just means that the order is random on the list and not the commands themselves. If that is the case though then I hope it at least has some reliability (i.e. The top slot will always give you a recovery, there's one of each type of action in the commands, etc.).

Oh I didn't know that. Well, my kidding aside, it does mean less backtracking to town to heal up so I'm okay with it.

I don't even think the order is random, I think Sakurai chose the list of Dragon Quest spells and abilities at random. The use of random is vague but I'm betting on it being short for "randomly assorted".

I saw the PushDustIn tweets earlier and I wouldn't worry about it.

I saw that, and I proposed an idea on the moveset thread: you pick which four spells to use in the Command Window before you actually get ready to fight, kind of like how you have to pick which Mii to fight with. Like say, you select Hero, then pick, say, Kaclang, Oomph, Psyche Up and Bounce, creating a loadout about dishing out damage and taking it, too. Then when you've picked those spells, then you're ready to fight.

>SE fought over which heroes had to get in
Well, now we know why the lady versions got passed over.

It makes me happy to see that Eight got in by the request of Western fans though. Now one can't claim that VIII isn't popular abroad.
