News has surfaced of a trademark from Square Enix for both Europe and the United States regarding a new video game. The trademark for both shows a name consisting of two words: Holey Heroes.
While this may sound unrelated to a Dragon Quest game, there are a few of things to take into account. One, according to volunteers for the site, the plot for DQ7 does deal with “holes” in the world. Two, Square Enix has had a history of alliteration in their Dragon Quest subtitles on Nintendo consoles (Chapters of the Chosen, Hand of the Heavenly Bride, Realms of Revelation/Reverie, Sentinals of the Starry Skies). Three, Nintendo may still not be willing to put any sort of religious reference on a game for its consoles, which would put the literal translation of the subtitle, Warriors of Eden, in jeopardy.
All I know for sure is this: if this turns out to be an iOS game, WE RIOT!
