Nimzo: Difference between revisions

The title Nimzo goes by, Grandmaster Nimzo, is a stark contrast to the original interpretations of his name. The name was likely derived from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aron_Nimzowitsch Aron '''Nimzo'''witsch], a renowned chess writer and (unofficial) grandmaster by chess standards. The majority of Nimzo's underlings are named after chess pieces, and Nimzo himself refers to his overall plan as a game with his underlings being the pawns, so the name was likely given to tie in with these characteristics.

 

With this in mind, it is highly likely that the localization team had already planned out the majority of what they intended to do with ''Dragon Quest V'' since Nimzo appears with his current name in ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker'', a game that preceded the release of the DS remake of ''Dragon Quest V''.

• Widely regarded as one of the easiest final bosses in the series by fans. Even in remakes, with considerable stat augmentation granted to him, he seems to have more intelligence than raw power and fighting ability.
