Maybe what NoE tweeted was the release date in Europe (07/31), assuming Hero releases at around 9 PM EST.

Me: confused screaming

Arusu? Where that name came from? why not Loto or Erdrick?

It's not everyday we get to see a director demoing their games.

According to a reddit post I found, it seems that was the DQ3 hero's name in the SNES remake and the manga sequel.
Granted, that's his Japanese name, so I'm sure that people who are used to the localized one will still be calling him either Loto or Erdrick.

Seeing stuff like Metal Slash instakilling a character using Kaclang and Thwack being in the game brought a gigantic smile to my face.

The character sends very grounded on randomness and luck without feeling unfair, which are staples for the Dragon Quest series - not being entirely sure of what will happen and reacting to it. This is the work of someone who really loves the series as well. Sakurai gets it.

I'm really happy new characters are being added, but Olimar needs to be buffed IMO.

I found the same info about the manga (it's stated in the synopsis that it's a "sequel" insted of an adaptation) but never heared about the changes in the SNES remake (I played some years before the GBC remake). Anyway, ロト (loto/roto) is the title given to the hero and not the name, but I always think is was a nameless character (like the first and second game)

Seriously.. No anime fans caught the "King of Braves" comments?

Apparently, the name only shows up in the SNES remake's intro. I suppose that could also explain why it's barely known of in the west (especially with how many versions/ports the game has had so far). That's fair, though at least it rolls off the tongue easier than constantly having to say Warrior of Light or Onion Knight all the time when compared to old FF games. (It's a shame that the latter didn't keep his canon name nor his personality from the 3D remake when used in Dissidia and any other media).

Perhaps they'll also get a proper name someday, who knows.

It happens a lot? I honestly don't think i've ever seen anyone but Director/Producer Naoki Yoshida demonstrate new content for Final Fantasy XIV.

I was wondering about this update as the game said a new patch would be released within 7 days. that was yesterday. today, I had to exit out of the game, then scan the eshop for updates after hearing it had been released. I haven't played smash bros. much, but I'm lovin' the dlc part of it.
