If I keep missing the point; then what is?
I don't know how many more times I need to ****ing say this

This is infuriating

-Geno isn't as beaten up as you think
-You don't need to march all over other Squenix reps in order to protect Geno
-You are one of the only uncivil people in this thread please stop and just LISTEN to what people are saying

There is a recap for you

Read this, because you obviously didn't read it the first time:
I'm going to make this as clear as possible.

You come into this thread, complain about "Geno bashing" that doesn't exist, and put Geno on this super high pedestal. When anybody says anything even remotely negative about Geno's chances, you lose your **** and start acting like everybody is against Geno, even though you can find pages of support and defense for him. Hell, there are points where people are saying good things about his chances and you interpret them as hate. This thread was going completely fine until you came in and started creating problems where there were none.

That's not even mentioning all the times where you **** on Dragon Quest. I'm not talking about your points with the composer controversy and Akira Toriyama. I'm talking about the times where you blatantly bash the franchise. You know, in the Support Thread? For all the Square Enix franchises mentioned on that list? Including Dragon Quest?

Can you see people would get upset with you now?

Like I've said before if the slike was rocket himself then I'd be all for it but there not gonna use rocket they'd probably choose generic slime which I get but I'd think that be boring also I've played rocket slime and it's a wonderful game and I'm mad I'll never play a another one in the series because Square can't advertise dragon quest to save there lifes
Fair enough lol. I know the ones that didn't get localized have fan translations in the works so you could look into those.

I just can't agree with you though. Geno is extremely beaten up in my opinion.

Also I'm not trolling Ez. I'm just passionate.

Meh I like to wait on them even tho when it comes to dragon quest I really hate Square other then that series in particular I wait mostly for the series to be translated got all the mainline games on my 3ds from 4 to 9 with rocket slime as a bonus sadly I'm a semi patient man

And that is the problem right there. Despite everything saying otherwise, despite the evidence, despite being number one in the thread poll, despite the name of the thread literally having SMRPG inspiration, you will not accept anything else but what you think and nothing more.

This is really genuinely breaking my heart guys.

I know this'll sound like bull****, but please believe me. Real Geno fans don't disparage others like this.
I know this sounds dorky and idiotic, but please do. This is just saddening me to see.

Implying that I'm not a "true fan" is kind of a a ****ty thing to do... you don't have the right to gatekeep who supports Geno.

If I shut up today; will you stick up for Geno for me?
Please.
I've been advocating for him a damn long time now.
But here's the thing.
If you're gonna advocate for a character?
Admit their flaws. Admit what may stop them from getting in. And don't put other characters down as you prop them up.
This is the opposite of what you are doing.

I don't want you to just "shut up" I want you to learn from this and become a better poster. Otherwise, I'd have muted you.

You know what? No I'ma stick by it.
You think our mans, a LITERAL ****ING ANGEL, would want you to behave like this?
Then ya ain't real

I am going to be honest, I avoided this thread for a good while because I was embarrassed by all this unnecessary arguing relating to Geno.

January directs are pretty much a tradition at this point. I imagine we'll get a gameplay reveal for Joker, release date for him and Plant, and a teaser for the next newcomer.

Agreed. I am generally looking forward to what Nintendo has in store for 2019.

If your "passion" has reached a point where it's been mistaken as trolling multiple times now, then you have a problem. We've continually provided you with facts supporting that Geno is supported and you stick your head in the ground like an ostrich and refuse to listen to us. Then you proceed to **** on the other Square Enix reps because "Geno is the underdog" when he isn't.

This has happened multiple times in this thread and you refuse to acknowledge that you are the problem. Or if you do, you just say "deal with it" when we shouldn't have to. Even if you're not intending to troll this has reached a point where it is trolling due to the cyclical and repetitive nature of this negatively effecting the thread as a whole.

See, I think we'll get two newcomers at E3 (it's a thing they do), so we might not get the next newcomer tease until then. Or maybe we'll get #3 and #4 together, which seems more likely to me.

Jan getting the newcomer 2 trailer, then 5 months to E3 when we get 3 and 4 doesn't seem too unlikely.
Joker and 2 can be released during that 5 month window.

Fair I guess. I guess I'll leave this to the professionals... I just wanted to help Geno fan's out, but people don't seem to think I'm helping....

Geno fan who literally signed up just to skulk around the Geno thread here to say...

Dang, I'm sorry y'all are the brunt of stuff like this. I promise that we aren't all this aggressive. A lot of the Geno fans I've met are incredibly understanding and sweet people. I apologize on behalf of the fanbase sincerely. I understand OptimisticStrifer wants to stick up for a character they (and we) love, but I largely disagree with their methods of doing so. It's best to be mature and respect everyone's favorites, even if they don't coincide with your own, and it's always encouraged to look at this realistically, positive or no.

Good luck to everyone and their favorites, seriously. Never feel ashamed of who or what you root for, but let's all please be civil about it!

Well said! This thread has gotten so negative lately and it's really tiring. I personally don't care much for Geno however I'm not against him at all; we're all in this together now.

Glad to be home

These arguments are like

Gina is Crono, having accepted the cold embrace of deconfirmation.
Everyone in the background is whoever needs to fit the narrative. Is it Geno, Sora, Slime, Erdrick or Sephiroth who needs to be held down?
Luminary is Scully, no one cares about or discusses him nor does anyone even remember he's on the list in the first place

In that case I'll change no one to one person!
I think that he's definetely slept on the most out of a potential DQ rep. His game is the newest in the series and is being released soon for the Switch. He also has a full kit of swordfighting abilities; one handed, two handed, and dual-wielding along with a fair list of magic, easily making him the most viable in terms of moveset potential.
If they wanted to do alternate outfits as well, he would be the one. There's actually a good amount of costumes in DQXI for each party member, though they could be a little bit spoilery.
The ones I would specifically have in mind are the Drasilian Armor, and Erdwin's Tunic. I'm on my phone so I can't provide images, but there's always Google lol

I really respect the Luminary Gang. I get it's tough for you guys, hang tight.

My take is:
He can have the best moveset potential in the world...he just doesn't have the Smash history or iconicness I favor with third party reps. He feels like he'd be very much a promo pick. But I respect you guys, and he sounds fun.

If anything I want them to put all DQ reps in I think they can be interchangeable make them all skins and what not
The Koopalings route would be fantastic imo, the only issues I can see are DQ5's hero (not fitting into the same set of abilities as the rest, hell he could have his own moveset) and DQ7's hero (smaller proportions)
DQ9 and 10 have custom characters, but I think 9 has a "default" design that they can go with which adds up to 8 alts.

If I'm correct Luminary and Erdrick were often heard about together, so either one would be an echo of the other, OR

They're one character (either a lá Olimar and Alph, or they're both components of one character named "Hero" that encompasses all of DQ)

My bet's on the latter.

Or Luminary was referring to Erdrick.
From what I understand, the Luminary is a common name for a lot of DQ protags.

It's only ever used in DQXI iirc, as the protagonist's title (not name!). Though, DQII's later ports use the word in its subtitle so I can see where the confusion stems.

Yeah 7 and 5 do bring up problems but if not that then I'd say 11 and 3 would probably be in the game with alts colors to represent the other heros

Permanently thinking about how Geno and Sora were cast away by some insiders

What
Does
It
Meaaaaaaan
Honestly all of this has become so puzzling. They're just playing interdimensional chess with us at this point, I wouldnt be surprised if the potential SE DLC character wasn't one of the seven.

DQ2's Prince of Midenhall cant cast any magic so he'd probably be a bad fit too.

Right. Been a while since I played DQII...
Prince of Cannock maybe? Even though he's never considered the "main" hero. Or they could just take that liberty and give the Prince of Midenhall magic.
