Characters in the dubs of DQ games are usually done with various European accents. I know you're probably joking but absolutely nothing to do with that lol
But what specifically ties it to Smash? Plenty of games can be described like that.
More people are saying it's Shantae than anything. Looking up her wikipedia page, she's been around and has done everything but a Dragon Quest game. Might be a hint worth moon walking away from. Voice actors don't decide the characters.
Dragon Quest's style of localization is Extremely British, and English-language voices in Dragon Quest have always been done by UK theatre actors, from DQVIII in 2005 up until DQXI just recently. It all fits really well with DQ's presentation and helps the series stand out from other anime-lookin' games, and even the Japanese staff seem fond of it.
I don't particularly like the british accents, i dont find it fits necessarily, but yeah dragon quest heroes was like that too.
I read Emblem of Roto.
And after seeing that he already said twice in that one sentence that erdrick was most heard about, saying it again for a third time seems like a lot. Maybe he was actually settling on erdrick being the character making it in. Could be just saying it again for emphasis, but in any case,
I'm torn between thinking a DQIII remake would be best, to have a class-system game to contrast with DQXI's traditional party, and thinking that a DQIV or DQV remake would be the better to do next because of those games' more experimental structure. I guess that'd make DQV the winner for being weird and having monster recruiting, but I know there are people who just love DQIX and can't get enough of that vocation system and post-game grind, and a DQIII remake could bring that back in a big way, so who knows.
Seeing Vergeben clarify how often Erdrick is still being heard is kind of comforting. TBF, it could totally be the flash bang meant to blind us from the bullet, but Erdrick still remaining has the most heard means people inside aren't changing their minds over the subject. I'm assuming the next DLC will be announced this month or next. If the DLC is close to being announced, I would assume a gradual shift of information to likely happen if Erdrick wasn't the actual fighter. Since that's not the case and apparently this Tansut fellow backs Dragon Quest fully, leaker information is strong for the franchise.I was re-reading the quote from Vergeben

I feel a little good about erdrick's chances. Will be awesome if it's true
I don't know about if they're still hearing the name now, but they did enough, at least.
That's a good question. It was definitely near release date. I think somewhere before or after Joker's reveal where it started gaining traction. When DLC starts being worked on is the perfect time for when all of these names begin coming out.I don't know about if they're still hearing the name now, but they did enough, at least.
But one thing I wonder about is at what point it started happening, because we didn't hear erdrick very much before december, so maybe SE really did a good job keeping it under wraps for a long time.
I really feel like they should announce who it is within the next 2 months (hopefully sooner than later). So much might be cleared up if we actually get some info
Well hey if they did go with the chibi, who says they wouldn't go ahead and make new artwork and models for the female version too? I dont think it'd be too hard to pull off. I do like how that art looks, looks nice. Wonder if they made that from scratch.Oh wow. This is pretty cool artwork! It's definitely a fake image leak for the lolz, but how would you all feel if this was the Erdrick we got? Personally, I love this design. I know there are a lot of female Erdrick fans, but this fits naturally and I think the style works with what DQ 3 originally might have been. Really well made.
That's exactly the kind of silly nonsense I've been hoping for. I'd certainly like him to be that expressive, whatever design we might get.
No doubt. I bet this is definitely not the real deal. I just thought it was a really good render of what Erdrick could be and wanted thoughts and opinions of its quality.
Game has to be tested at NOA as well.
Depends how they do development. Usually you wouldn't localize stuff at the same time, it's way too much effort to constantly do. Once it's more set in the native environment, then it would make more sense. The character would probably still be early in development.
Yes I enjoyed the art.
Barely a difference, I agree. I can imagine an Erdrick female alt conceptually being no big deal. With better modern graphics, she'll probably have more standout features. Otherwise, it should be no big deal.
Yeah, even though I dont think they'd go with the chibi design, I think it'd be easy enough to add.
That poor slime...Yeah, even though I dont think they'd go with the chibi design, I think it'd be easy enough to add.
This is the chibiest art I have of her now. Not exactly hitting the official style, but still nice.
Hey a tomboy one once in a while ain't bad
The Female Erdrick design was from the SNES. Not only that, but Sofia is from the NES era as well.
That's what I mean. If they'd asked Toriyama to do a design for a female Erdrick for the NES version of DQIII in the first place, I figure he'd have done something like he ended up doing for DQIV (and for the male/female versions of most of DQIII's classes) and made them very distinct from each other. But because there was no design for her in that version and they just used the same sprite for both, Toriyama had to come up with a design that looked more or less like the male design when they did the SNES remake, for consistency's sake, I guess.
Ah, I see what you mean. My mistake. Regardless, I really like the design as is. Lot of good fan art out there.
I'm in love with that render!Oh wow. This is pretty cool artwork! It's definitely a fake image leak for the lolz, but how would you all feel if this was the Erdrick we got?

If they were to remake the older games, I'd like to see some deviation from the standard turn based format and experiment. Like, how about DQ1 as an open world action RPG?Been fantasizing about 3D remakes for the early DQ titles (1~6) Made a little list of changes I would love to see.
DQ1
+ Make Zoom spell take you to any town.
+ Different endings if you rescue Gwaelyn or not, and if you beat Dragonlord with her in arms.
DQ2
+ Add something like Shield techniques to MC because he's kind of bland compared to the other descendants.
+ Have Dragonlord Grandson be a hidden party member (if you beat him and answer something correctly?)
DQ3
DQ4+ Implement the perfected class System from future games.
+ Make female Erdrick a bit more different.
+ Have all features from GBC
+ In-game explanations to how Natures work.
+ Make Torneko's chapter more fun.
+ Date sim?
DQ5
(It's perfect)
DQ6
+ Revise the 2nd half of the game's story.
+ Every character should be able to find their other selves.
+ Needs more training spots / not enough King Metal Slimes? (Especially for post-game grinding)
DQ general:
+ Make visual changes to characters according to the equipment they're wearing.
+ Full orchestra bgm.
+ Tension System from DQ8
This is a really good fake, I like that style a lot. The lack of Joker on the CSS kills it though.Oh wow. This is pretty cool artwork! It's definitely a fake image leak for the lolz, but how would you all feel if this was the Erdrick we got? Personally, I love this design.

It's okay. He's into that kinda thing.
Well, I don't know how far they want to reinvent dragon quest. It's pretty traditional for the main series to be turn-based. But the whole new FF7 they were making was basically that extreme of a jump, and the action looked amazing. I wouldn't mind a battle system that strays from the 'warriors' type games, so I'd be all up for more action dq games, I just dont know how it might show up.
Dragon Quest 9 was originally going to have action RPG combat like how FF7R currently will, but Square Enix faced EXTREME backlash in Japan for the announcement, so the game was reworked to use turn based combat.
I remember that Sakurai even defended the change, I kind of see both parties points of view regarding it.
For sure. Dragon Quest is something of an oasis in this time and age when you just need a good dosage of old turn based gameplay.
iirc I think Sakurai only defended DQ10's decision to be an MMO. I don't recall him saying anything about DQ9.
I like turn based RPGs more than action-y ones myself. The big strength for me is that I can have fun strategizing without needing quick reflexes or anything like that. Given that RPGs are the most popular genre of game in Japan, I assume it helps for people of all ages that don't want to put the time into having to learn to have good hand eye coordination like most games ask.
