Oh I see. Yeah, saying it's Banjo because they start with a B is ridiculous. Bandana Dee also starts with a B, so that means it's Bandana Dee too! lol that makes no sense. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up
Some people want to see what they want. Brave being banjo started quite a while ago, like maybe being a play on 'rare' or something, i dont remember how it started, but I kinda just let them have their comforting ideas. I dont expect banjo at all, personally. I see people thinking microsoft is necessarily going to be involved with smash, and I dont really agree, but when there's rumors floating around people get all sorts of ideas.
Oh oof. Well you have great taste in art haha.
It's normal for people to have their own preferences. Kinda expected to trigger people if you say it like that tho
Yeah, people see what they want to see and draw conclusions based on what they like. I don't expect Banjo either because he's not relevant anymore. He makes more sense in the base game, for the fans. They want DLC to sell, and so they'll need to use characters from series that are "hot" with the kids and what not, which is why I think Steve makes more sense for DLC than Banjo. Of course, we may not even get a Microsoft rep, like you said. And who knows, we may not even get a Square rep, despite what Vergeben has said. Even though Erdrick is my most wanted, I'm not 100% convinced he's gonna get in. However, I do think he's more likely than any other Square rep. Well, the Luminary from DQXI might be just as likely as Erdrick. But even still, we may not get anything from Square, so who knows? I think it's important to remain skeptical with your most wanted character and who you consider most likely.
But the thing is, I did credit the artist in my Twitter post where I shared the photo. Here's the link to my twitter post: https://twitter.com/CompaKonpa/status/1119020874785488897
I wasn't referring to you! It was NomadLuminary, he mistakenly attributed the art to you then made a cheeky reply saying I should have asked "please".
I'll just be frank, since I want to state my piece too. People post stuff all the time and it's easy to forget about the credit. So I'll say that while I get where you're coming from, I only acted cheeky because I personally felt you were being rude with the request. But like you said no hard feelings and I should just be more aware next time around.
I agree with this statement. Although I don't like telling people their pick is unlikely as it brings people down. Then again false hope is just as bad.
Yeah it brings people down, but sometimes being brutally honest is what's needed to keep people from getting their hopes crushed when reality hits and our four DLC characters end up being characters people weren't expecting (Etrian Odyssey or Rune Factory, for example)
Oh yeah I agree. I think the best way to position a character would be a realistic expectation. Not a shot in the dark like say a visual novel character from the early 80s.
Like Ayumi Tachibana, the visual novel girl from the 80s that was a trophy in Melee
Wow, thanks for stomping on my dreams of Ayumi Tachibana making it into Smash as DLC
Huh, interesting. That would be cool, but it'll probably be DQ protags, like maybe the one from DQXI or DQVIII or something. I'm sure there are probably more popular protags than those two, but those are the ones I know the most.Wow, thanks for stomping on my dreams of Ayumi Tachibana making it into Smash as DLC
Just kidding (edit: wow, Kuon). Though speaking of visual novel characters from the early 80s, The Portopia Serial Murder Case is coincidentally a super influential game in Japan, made by Spike Chunsoft who was contracted the work by, you guessed it, Enix. I wonder if we'd somehow get any Mii costumes based on that game if Erdrick gets in.
I'd love other DQ costumes too. But I brought up that game because when Cloud was included in Smash 4, we technically got a costume from a non Final Fantasy game with Geno. So the possibility of another Enix-developed well-known game getting a Mii costume came up in my mind right then and there.
I actually never played it so my comment was probably in poor tasteWow, thanks for stomping on my dreams of Ayumi Tachibana making it into Smash as DLC

. Anyways though, if we want to pick a rep for DQ that isnt a slime, i still think Erdrick and Luminary have the best chances (I'd win either way since there my favorite protags)
The short version is: that's definitely a spoiler, so no.
This reasoning makes a lot of sense actually.
RIP AND TEAR! I would be so pumped for Doom Slayer, he would make me so happy.
This guy drew female Erdrick with her party? Looks like it roughly translates to 'adventure journey', according to the ever so reliable Google translate.
I believe so, he/she has roughs of this piece in his twitter as well.
Oh okay, cool. That's pretty neat.

The beautiful thing about Twitter is that there is so much artwork of Dragon Quest there. Much more then I initially expected.
In the OP (near the bottom) we have a bunch of stuff regarding his potential moveset, but the general idea is using a large variety of weapons and magic, as well as the possibility for a unique mechanic such as Tension.
Now that I think about it, it's very possible Erdrick may not get tension/pep at all. If Joker already has a guage, it's possible he would want to change it up. That or make tension/pep up similar to Lucario.
I'd love to fight everyone here....to the death
Yes, when I thought about joker's gauge, I dont feel like they would want to repeat yet another similar concept. Or maybe it doesnt matter, if they do it different againNow that I think about it, it's very possible Erdrick may not get tension/pep at all. If Joker already has a guage, it's possible he would want to change it up. That or make tension/pep up similar to Lucario.

But I still think it'd be likely to be something else.My idea for Tension is that it can be charged to multiple intervals, then applied automatically to the next move you use. Just like in DQ8, and not really like any other character's gimmicks.Now that I think about it, it's very possible Erdrick may not get tension/pep at all.
