Just wondering, could you possibly rewrite this battle given a little more background? Warning: spoilers abound!!

This hero guy is MOSTLY SILENT because he's meant to represent the player. He spoke only once--in the first game when he set up the events of the second.

He's going to start off as the hero of the 11th title, who is for lack of a better word a wimp compared to every previous one we've seen. Doesn't know his own strength until Big Bad steals it from him. Otherwise needs his friends to tell him he's great: a snarky small sorceress, a streetwise thief, a daft blonde priestess, a brutal bombshell, and a guy that'll make you question if he's really a man (he's still a flashy entertainer).

Then you've got THE Hero of Heroes (third game), a guy who loses everything to find an army to beat the bad guy (fourth), and the reluctant castle guardsman who gets escort duty with his troll king and horse princess before running into Sir Cockney, a redhead firebomb, and a pervy priest to stop Big-Fat-Baddie-In-A-Stick (eighth).

What can I tell ya? Toriyama-san is a weird dude!
