You act like this is somebody who gets paid for doing nothing but sitting in a corner of Square's office shouting obscenities.
Xeno posted it on Gamefaqs with an imgur link. If you're skeptical, I confirmed he talks to Hitagi on the daily a while ago. He basically posted a screenshot where Hitagi said that he approves of Erdrick and that he's okay with having his message screenshot.
Nintendo does usually publish DQ games in the west so it is helpful to them.
Has Xeno leaked anything before or did you vet him and he's credible? I'm just trying to understand why he's considered credible.
Him getting money allows him to continue finding work and have clout in the industry. This gives his word's more meaning and reach a wider audience. If this was some jobless hack; no one would be worried. But people respect him; so they will listen to what he has to say.
It was willingly dissolved thus IP shares still exist. You can read an explanation for this here:
DQ8 and DQ3 are completely unrelated.

said, it would be mainly corporate and simply feel off because it’s one of their multiple attempts to get DQ popular in the West. At least with Fire Emblem, Marth was added because he was a very popular request from Japanese fans and they were even thinking about keeping Marth japanese exclusive. But I doubt that Erdrick is actually a popular request for Smash overseas, or anyone that isn’t slime for that matter.
Yes it could. In fact that seems MORE likely because 8's outfit was available in DQ11.
I mean I never want him in tbh. Of course Geno and Sora are a part of it; but Dragon Quest has a whole other rabbit hole to it that I'd really rather not get tied up in Smash with.I think the problem with DQ that people seems to have is that...
Erdrick in. No Geno and Sora.
And as what
I understand that DQ is iconic, Uber in Japan and, have their history and I actually started to like Erdrick a bit. But it ends up coming at the cost of two other characters that actually have popularity (especially Geno) and one character that is actually liked and well known worldwide. And because of that, Erdrick comes off the wrong way as a “shill” character. Not to mention that people haven’t brought up anything in relation to Erdrick’s potential moveset since that’s also important to Sakurai (unless if I look in the Erdrick thread).
In all honesty, I feel like the Square battle is a never ending cycle and there can’t really be a true winner. If it was up to me, I would’ve tried to get ALL THREE Geno, Erdrick, and Sora since they all have valid points for inclusion.
Dissidia Smash Bros. is happening?
People respect his work but acknowledge that as a person he's garbage. It's called disassociating art from the artist. There's quite a hefty number of musicians, directors, etc. who do incredible work that they do deserve credit for, but are still terrible people with extremely disagreeable views. This is no different.
I don't care if one dollar goes to him or one million dollars goes to him. He doesn't deserve any money. Besides; Nintendo is gonna give him lots of money anyways just for the right's to his music.
Please don't submit dude. We have to keep fighting.
Why isn't spike chunsoft on there then? They made the original. That's weird.
He is not "submitting", he is asking a legitimate question many of us unfamiliar would want to know.
To start I don't think he's any DQ fan's first pick lol. he's kinda like Simon Belmont, in that he's the most recognizable figure in their series but not really the fan favorite.
As a die hard DQ fan, the idea of having DQ content in the game makes me extremely happy. I've toyed around with the idea that Sakurai could implement a level up mechanic of sorts into his moveset, maybe allowing hit to get more pieces of his armor as the game progresses.
Wait, really? That is certainly not something I imagine them doing, considering the work they are most recognized and famous for.
And that is why I think many people outside of DQ are a little bit upset.
I actually really love that idea. Not that good early on but as the match progresses he gets stronger and stronger. Could be really fun to watch too.
Yeah they also did many other DQ games. Hence why Alena is credited here.
Alright, this is where things get really cool. Erdrick is a massively recognized hero throughout the first three DQ games, and referenced in almost every latter game. He can equip MOST weapon types and learns BOTH types of magic (healing and offensive spells.) No joke, he's incredibly diverse, similar to Robin in a way. Hopefully he'd be able to integrate melee and magic in an interesting way. For reference:
So wait, how many series are involved with this character again, including Spike Chunsoft?
Playing DQ1-3 in succession, as primitive as they could be considered now, is INCREDIBLY satisfying. For anyone interested in DQ because of all this I highly recommend it.
Yeah, if Erdrick is indeed DLC, and Square has the ulterior motive of making Dragon Quest more popular in the West, I kinda hope it backfires.
And you just know if it backfires they are never going to let him come back to Smash.
Frank West had a moveset similar to that in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and it made him a really unique and fun character to watch. Something similar for Erdrick would be pretty cool to see in Smash Bros.
Is this a war? Last time I checked it wasn't. This is a discussion forum, not a battlefield. At least open your mind to the very likely possibility that the Square Enix character is Dragon Quest.
Calane
can vouch for this because he and I went back and forth on Dragon Quest. But by taking a step back I can recognize the merits of the series and why it should be in Smash Bros. Take a deep breath, and if you're getting heated like you seem (if you're not I apologize for misinterpreting your posts) to be take a break and go do something you enjoy away Smashboards.
Smash and SE are going to be there. There's a panel specifically for the Switch release of DQ which we know nothing about which supposedly includes a "special guest" . My guess was Toriyama.
Heartbeat, Spike, SE, Armor Games, and Bird Studio. But Alena's fig isn't credited to Heartbeat/Artepiazza despite them doing DQ 4 remakes. My guess is the iteration they go with is what determines which company they have to go through. Loto's figure is based off his snes redesign, hence the Heartbeat trademark but not Spike.
This is more than a video game right now. If it's a DQ rep; it's my favorite company siding with a nasty, nasty person. That is ****ing devastating on somthing you look up to. I trust Nintendo to be the moral one's in today's gaming climate. If they will pay the composer just for Smash Bucks, then who can I trust anymore?Frank West had a moveset similar to that in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and it made him a really unique and fun character to watch.

At one point I disagreed with Dragon Quest as well because I really wanted Sora;
The same goes to anyone else here feeling strongly about this. This is speculation for a video game, there's no need to go after other people.
So quick question and your probably stated this but do you dislike DQ or just the reasons it would be in smash bros I'm just curious since this is a discussion thread and all
They're also siding with Yuji Horii who is a great person and an entire team. I'd buy 5 fighter passes just because he was getting paid alone if I could.
He’s starting to sound a lot like Robin. Anything to make him substantially stand out? “Unique characters” like Reggie said?
