This is not from my source. As I said yesterday, this information is from somebody big in the Megaten/persona/atlus community and has lots of connections. No names will be given.



Yes, though we didn't know it would be a 2019 game in particular or that it would be a Switch exclusive until now. ;)
Okay, THIS is epic

Cycling kind of like how Shulke cycles through Monaco Arts? I wonder if there would be an icon next to Neku’s picture telling us which pin he’s using.



Not to get all “Geno-defendy” but while Geno is looking a bit unlikely atm, it’s not ridiculous for people to believe he’s going to be in. He definitely would be surprising and unexpected because of the choice to include him at all. Based on your statements, I think you would be one of those surprised if he were included.

Also, you’re probably in the wrong thread if you’re looking for Banjo evidence. The files you’re thinking of probably allude to Rare Ware IP but not Banjo specifically.
I'd be surprised if he was included mainly out of confusion that they would hype him up. When they say "surprised and unexpected" they specified that it's because people wouldn't expect them to be put in Smash. You know what I mean? They were like... not characters "ANYONE" would expect to be added to Smash Bros... which seems extremely like it's all 100% 3rd Party characters that aren't characters people think "Nintendo" when they see. Whereas Geno, again, is Nintendo in most people's minds.

I'm not gonna lie, this thread has definitely made me at least want to try it. I was looking at Dragon Quest Builders but tbh I already have Minecraft and prefer creative mode to survival so i don't know about it, but an 11 Switch release sounds pretty neat especially since fans of the series seem to really like it. A traditional RPG sounds fun. I grow so tired of those weird MMO-lite battle systems in many modern RPGs.

Octopath is also on my list but I've really been too busy playing exclusively Smash to dive into the demo yet.
Builders I havent played a whole lot of, but it's like a blend of Minecraft with 2D Zelda with the DQ aesthetic. If that sounds appealing then go for it, it's quite fun.

DQ11 is easily not just one of my favorite DQ games, but in my top 5 RPGs of all time. The story is fantastic, and the battle system is pretty much perfection of turn-based combat.

Octopath is also pretty neat. I found the story kinda lacking, but the gameplay is what makes it shine. It had a system similar to the Brave system from Bravely Default, which I do like.

You know, if true, that really gets my hopes up for Nintendo and Atlus to try a crossover again, this time making it much more Persona based and including the whole of the Nintendo pantheon rather than just focusing on FE. That would be awesome.

Yeah DQ's not very good when it comes to marketing, they just don't sell well because Square never puts in the time to advertise DQ like they do with FF.
I dont Square really needs to advertise FF.
Its basicaly a name everybody knows.

Wouldnt doubt that it wouldn't be.
Persona 4 Golden was a Vita exclusive.
Why wouldnt P5+ be an exclusive aswell.

Gonna slightly disagree. DQ11 and DQ Warriors got excellent marketing. I especially remember Sentinels of the Starry Sky getting TONS of marketing as well. And iirc Nintendo puts up some for advertising as well
I would say not nearly as much as any FF game ever gets.

Wait a minute. P5R is a Switch exclusive?! For real?

That is unbelievable, given what I have seen of Persona's history on Playstation platforms.

Man things have turned around haven't they? :p

This is what I was thinking.

The other Persona remakes were for portable devices.
Persona 3 Portable - Playstation Portable
Persona 4 Golden - Playstation Vita

And now Persona R (Possible names Red or Ruby) - Nintendo Switch...wait.

As a fan and wants his friends to play the game, but they only have a Switch, this is incredible if true. Which PolarPanda PolarPanda is near 100% in on.

Persona's enhanced ports are traditionally on Playstation handhelds (1-3 on PSP and 4 on Vita)... but Sony doesn't have an actively supported handheld now. So the Switch is their next option, obviously. It was more or less inevitable lol

You know what.

If Erdrick is really like, have other DQ heroes as Alt.

I truly wish,deep down, we get eight.
I love Erdrick SNES Design with the fashion as **** Purple/Blue/Yellow.

But Eight's design?
Man.

See I had never even considered this to be a possibility! This is incredibly exciting for me.

Lord, you can play it on the go...What is life even!?

Apparently the name is not color based this time.
Its Reloaded

So wait is this for or against the "leak "?
Who knows.
It is Atlus related information, so it wouldnt make sense to serve as evidence for a SE leak.
However it is Nintendo related information, so it could prove that its a Nintendo source, or more than 2 sources.

Eight is one of my favorite designs for DQ protagonists, it's a simple but distinct and cool look. I hope he gets in as an alt at least too.

I am pretty sure we are just going to be getting the fem design for Erdrick. It's what Smash usually does when it comes to this sort of thing.

I mean, there discussion of having XI too as an alt, so it might be possible to get an amalgamation like Bowser.Jr

Where's bowsette then?

Don't answer that question.
As the creator of the Peachette speculation thread here on Smashboards, I feel like I am most qualified to answer said question you don't want answered.
The answer?
The Super Mario Odyssey art book.
Always was heard alongside Erdrick as Luminary apparently from Vergeben's word.
I guess, but they could be grouped together to lead people astray on who it truly is.

One of the "random" characters is the protagonist of XI which isn't a weird choice at all considering Sakurai has a story of adding new and old characters, the other (Anlucia) seems to be a major character from X but cannot say mcuh considering that X is Japan-only. Still agree that the second one seem to be a strange choice overall.

I agree with Ryce here.
Not saying anything about Erdrick as I do believe a DQ rep is being picked, but I don't think any character will have leaked in this much detail, unless the leaker is a higher up at Sora LTD.
Ryce pretty much tells it like it is. DLC is a whole new beast and so far, no insiders have gotten it right or on a confirmed go.

They're not certainties of credibility, that's for sure.

Anlucia, to my knowledge, is the closest character to a main protagonist in the traditional sense for DQX. Kind of like Alphinaud in Final Fantasy XIV.

To me, Eight makes way more sense than Erdrick, he has Western appeal and Eastern appeal, he even shows up as a costume in DQXI.
Could have a gimmick with tension and monster fighting.

Technically, what people generally see as the likely DLC route is not an entirely new beast, when it's roughly the same as Smash 4's DLC direction, minus Corrin and the veterans.

I agree in that 8 is probably the most well known one in the west, but the way Sakurai seems to roll is to add characters that are classic with ones that are newer. Best scenario would be to have alts for most of the protagonists.
Anlucia, to my knowledge, is the closest character to a main protagonist in the traditional sense for DQX. Kind of like Alphinaud in Final Fantasy XIV.
I really don't know much about her honestly other than seeing some videos of her as a boss or something, hope that the offline version of X becomes a reality since I doubt SE will bring the current one.
