The situation surrounding Erdrick, the way I see it, is really getting... complicated now.
Brave is obviously Fighter 2 (or possibly 3 since they were worked on simultaneously) at this point.
If Erdrick is Brave like most people assume, it’s way more likely that he will be revealed at E3 based solely on the circumstances of Brave, not anything related to DQ.
Tbh, the only way I really see Erdrick as Brave not get revealed at E3 is that:
-Fighter 2 is NOT Brave
-We get only 1 reveal at E3
And imo, I’d still find that really weird.
If Erdrick isn’t Brave than he can theoretically be revealed at any time, but he loses all the backing that the Brave codename gave him. Which pretty much just leaves us w/ a Square rep and the 7 characters... again.
