Maybe it's a good sign, that they want DQ to be out there in other games
Yeah! That would be amazing! Hopefully as a taunt, he could cross his arms and give that worried look. Have a Slime bop on his head. And another one where he scratches his head un embarrassment, with that expression from my avatar.
I really want her as an alt. She needs to be more mainstream. I'm 200% sure more people will pick her over Malerdrick.
I mean, I dont think one needs to be watched before the other. You could try an episode of each and see which one you want to start with.
I assume that, given that that character is from a DQ Shonen Jump series, SJ already owns the rights to use those characters. So the budget probably isn't really an issue.
Hey, haven't seen you around in a while.
Ah yeah, Yuusha no Abel. That's what I meant, only aired 13.
Thank the lord, finally an actual English sub project! The show's saved from obscurity.
Because "Yuusha" can be translated as either Brave or Hero. In theory, if Brave is Erdrick, the Smash team used a different translation of Yuusha (Brave) than the localizers at Square Enix (Hero).
So are you guys saiyng to me that...
Probably the same reason Joker's files are labeled as Jack. Because the japanese coder might not know English, and it doesn't have to be correct in the game files, since it's not actually going to appear in the game?
No, you're wrong for thinking it could be Agumon because it's ****ing Agumon.
The translation doesn't have to be consistent, as it's purely for internal use. As far as Nintendo is concerned, we're not supposed to know "Brave" exists, whoever it is. If Brave was supposed to be public information, then ya, you'd have a point as NoA would probably step in make things consistent. Odds are, The Smash Team decided that all the Fighter's Pass characters would have English codenames (because English is cool) and for Erdrick's went with the first translation they had for his class, Brave.
You wanna know more about Agumon and Digimon and how big they are for Bandai?
Well, it could also be that, you know? Never has a codename been so obvious and vague at the same time.
And the word for Yuusha uses the kanji of Isamu which means brave and the kanji of Hito, making brave person or you know brave.
I'm more than willing to have a conversation on Agumon, I'm just not sure the support thread of an unrelated character is really the place to do that.
Never dismissed it, i LOVE Dragon Quest , and Erdrick would mean the World for me as well.
Pretty sure we all acknowledge that Brave could mean any character, but for the purpose of this thread, we're naturally going to apply it to Erdrick. You're repeating on one specific point when we have discussed why it could be wrong. Jack does not translate to Joker in any way from my research, but that's still Joker's code name. If someone thinks code name alone confirms him, we'll be happy to point out it's overzealous.
Fair enough. Sorry about that, but please by all means there is a thread for agumon and there is a thread for the brave if you want to discuss your pick.
What is that other game?
The poins is: Why translate it as Brave? Why don't use Hero?I find it funny to debate Erdrick vs Agumon
1. Japanese is different than english. 'Brave' is a kind of synonym to 'hero' for them. It's like 'man of valor' a little. Hero is the english translation used because calling someone a brave would sound weird in english. (it actually sounds cool in a way tho)
2. It's a codename, much like 'jack'. We don't know if it's literal or just a connection to a character.
So with that out of the way, I thought I wanted to post in here but I forgot about what :O
I wanted to say to the thread creator that the NES version had the option for erdrick to be female, and I don't think that's considered a remake. Dunno if he checks this thread tho.
Because only localization teams would translate it as hero. Japanese programmers are not that, lol.
With that logic, why is Joker's codename Jack? Don't think too hard about these codenames. No one is saying they're the decisive evidence that guarantees Erdrick.
Well, it's not flimsy at all for the name. The height stat is what really throws people off. :O
