Hype:
Dragon Quest is my favorite series so this was easily my favorite fighter reveal.
Importance of inclusion:
This series is also very important as it inspired the entire JRPG genre. Many if the other DLC fighters (Joker, Steve, Sephiroth, Aegis, and Sora) are from series inspired by DQ and likely wouldn't exist without it.
Multiple protagonists:
Having 4 protags that represent some of the most popular games in the series is great. 4, 8, and 11 are among my favs so I'm really glad they were chosen and 3 is arguably the most important RPG from a inspiration standpoint so the choice was good.
Fighter gameplay:
Gameplay wise their normal attacks are nice but not too crazy. The real special thing is command select which is so crazy fun. They probably have the most amount of attacks in the entire game because of it.
Other representation:
The stage is good. The background is very detailed but the playable layout is kinda basic. Music is underwhelming. Having iconic monsters as spirits is nice although there could've been more.
