| As expected by some; Hero will 100% be coming by the end of July. This was pretty much confirmed by Nintendo on YouTube in a video focused on releases in July, and one of them was Hero.

Second of all; thanks for making it clear that new things go on the top, i clearly read the goddamn notice on this page. Nice to see how kind this wiki is to new users.

| Currently South Australia is the only region to have banned Hero. It's a very small region (out of their own admission) with, to my knowledge, no notable players are from there at a national, let alone a global level. This decision so far hasn't been taken seriously by the rest of Australia or of the world. I think it should be mentioned but it shouldn't have so much spotlight on the page as it does now, and it should be said that so far it hasn't had much of a following worldwide [[User:Rdrfc|Rdrfc]] ([[User talk:Rdrfc|talk]]) 04:14, August 17, 2019 (EDT) | | Currently South Australia is the only region to have banned Hero.

| == Erdrick or Arusu? ==
| |
|
| |
| I just noticed that the DQ3 skin is refered everywhere on the wiki as "Erdrick". I can understand the Hero default skin to be refered as Luminary rather than Eleven, but, as Erdrick is a title that isn't unique to Arusu in the DQ series, wouldn't it be better to use his actual name for his skin rather than his title? Plus, the word Erdrick itself is already used in the game for the Mii Swordfighter DQ2 costume. [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 18:53, February 18, 2020 (EST)
| |
| :[[Talk:Hero/Archive 1|Extremely long story short,]] we went with "Erdrick" because that's the most widely-known moniker for the ''DQIII'' Hero, and we'd decided on our names based on input from the ''Dragon Quest'' community before Sakurai's video came out. Arusu was essentially unknown to overseas audiences before Sakurai broke it out for the presentation (it mostly pops up in Japan-only promo material like ''DQIII''{{'}}s radio drama adaptation), and by then we'd already locked ours in. It's preferable for us to go with the term that's more commonly used even if it's not "official"; for another example, see "[[tech]]" versus "fall break". (As an aside, the Erdrick Mii Costume is [https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0318/2649/products/51JRAimMwNL_large.jpg based on the ''DQIII'' hero]; it's just that other characters have worn the same armor.) ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 19:29, February 18, 2020 (EST)

| ::I don't know if it's good enough of a reason to keep it that way now Sakurai introduced him as Arusu. After all, most people consider Jigglypuff to be female, yet the wiki goes with a more official neutral "it". [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 04:58, February 19, 2020 (EST)
| |
| :::Using gender neutral pronouns for a character whose gender is unknown isn't really the same thing as using a more widely known moniker. Not to mention that the DQ III hero was for a long time (prior to DQ XI) the only one that was referred with the title of Erdrick/Loto and is therefore still most strongly associated with these names. Even things like the DQ I hero's armor that appears as a Mii Costume in Smash is a regalia that originally belonged to the DQ III hero in lore. --[[User:Rdrfc|Rdrfc]] ([[User talk:Rdrfc|talk]]) 05:43, February 19, 2020 (EST)

| ::::Not that I'm trying to push for that change (I call him Erdrick too afterall) but here is the sameness that I was implying: Arusu = official, Erdrick = popular; It(Jigglypuff) = official, She(Jigglypuff) = popular. [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 05:52, February 19, 2020 (EST)
| |
| :::::Arusu is not an official name according to Sakurai himself. He said something along the lines of "Arusu is a name commonly given to him by Japanese fans, but you can call him whatever you like" during the presentation. --[[User:Rdrfc|Rdrfc]] ([[User talk:Rdrfc|talk]]) 05:57, February 19, 2020 (EST)
| |
| ::::::Arusu is an official name, it's not not simply a fanmade name like you seem to think it is, it's used in official material. Also, don't forget Sakurai's statements are translated. [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 06:28, February 19, 2020 (EST)
| |
| :::::::Allow me to better explain myself. Arusu and Erdrick/Loto are both official names within ''Dragon Quest'', although neither is arguably fully canonical. Within ''Smash'', the ''Dragon Quest III'' hero does not have an official name. Sakurai was simply saying that the Heroes do not have an official name in Smash, and therefore we can call them with whatever name we like (unless you can prove that a completely different statement was lost in translation). This wiki chose to use the name Erdrick because it is the one better understood by English speaking fans. --[[User:Rdrfc|Rdrfc]] ([[User talk:Rdrfc|talk]]) 07:01, February 19, 2020 (EST)
| |
| ::::::::Oh, OK. I thought indeed that you were talking about Arusu not being official in DQ, not especially in Smash. However, I don't think Sakurai said anything more than the fact that the Hero of DQ3 can be named anything you want in DQ3, just like Robin (but it doesn't nullify your point as Robin is officially Robin in Smash too, unlike Arusu). I think you're reading to much in what Sakurai says. [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 07:31, February 19, 2020 (EST)

| :::::::::The name Arusu was only really only said in the American direct, all four hero’s names are not said ingame also This wiki doesn’t use the official name of some pages. [[User:Thegameandwatch|Thegameandwatch]] ([[User talk:Thegameandwatch|talk]]) 07:03, February 19, 2020 (EST)
