Dragon Quest XI S Developers Weigh In On ‘Overpowered’ Hero In Smash Bros.

NintendoLife: “We were lucky enough to sit down with some of the developers of the upcoming Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition at PAX recently and after discussing that game's journey to Switch, we asked producer Hokuto Okamoto, assistant producer Hikari Kubota and the development director Masato Yagi about the most pressing issue on the minds of Nintendo gamers: why is Hero so overpowered in Super Smash Bros.?

There's been some fierce debate among fans concerning the most recent addition to the ever-growing roster, with many suggesting that the randomised elements of his move set make him overpowered (or 'OP' in fighter parlance). After posing the lighthearted question at the end of our interview, the group laughed before ruminating on the topic.”
