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

 

There is nothing he can't do!

 

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.

 

Geno's overrated anyway

 

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)

 

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.
