Sup?
My only guess is there's really no 'iconic' DQ main character besides Loto.I don't really want to reiterate what I have already said a couple of times, but ignoring the weird circumstances surrounding geno with this game, and my personal bias, why would Square go for a TWEWY or Bravely Default character over Dragon Quest? Like, Dragon Quest is the big series not called Final Fantasy, i was half expecting there to be a Dragon Quest character before a FF character. In terms of smash 3rd party, dragon quest seems to tick every single box. Why are no leaks or any guesses really going for it?
When I think of 'iconic' Dragon Quest characters, my first thought is always the Slime, but, it's a slime. You could do a whole moveset for it I'm sure, but it'd almost be like if a Moogle got in over Cloud I feel.
