You know, i just realised something. All lovers will ask you to do a favour or ask a request on the tor, and you as a player has to choose Yes or No to that favour.

When he asked you to go treasure hunting with him, the luminary just nodded to him with a smile without letting the player to choose for him. If Erik is not his true love, I don’t know what is.

Can imagine Gemma’s reaction, like thinking one day she’ll get to marry and live with Luminary forever and one day he comes home with Erik like “I’m gonna live with this guy forever!” Sorry Gemma but Luminerik wins
I love that she's actually supportive of them. When you go talk to her after choosing Erik, she says that Erik seems like a really nice guy and that they should invite her if they throw a housewarming party, which is cute :)
I personally hated this, when the game wanted me to choose someone to spend my life with and i selected Erik i wasnt specting this bromance crap, then i remembered this was a japanese game with young girls offering "puff-puff" all over the world 🤦♂️
@@XXXKaruXXX so you're angry because there's a male love insterest on this game (which is rare a game with a male MC to do) than all those games with male MCs and their harem of oversexualized female characters, okay
*plays guitar* I love you, Erik. *strums guitar* I'm never gonna stop lovin' you, Erik. Also, this is the most relaxed marriage ever. This is so damn ideal that I wish it was always like this with marriages. ❤
Idk I think this feels more like a typical best friend roommate kinda deal. The only choice that’s outright shown to be romantic is with Gemma. But the scenes with picking Jade and Serena can be interpreted as potentially romantic.
Erik: We haven't even found half the treasures in the world yet! Me: *having picked the land clean of every chest, item and resource available* right..of course.
My favorite Luminerik moment aside from this is when he doesn't try to talk you out of going back in time, nor does he ask you to go through with it. Instead, he asks if you're sure of what you want to do after you listen to the others. He's supportive of your decision. And of course I choose to go back in time. Not only to continue the story but so that I can get to this point! ^^
They have a good friend connection. I guess when they said marry whoever you want I was expecting at least some “I’m glad you choose me” or some other little hints at them being gay. I didn’t expect a flat out “I love you boyfriend” type of situation, but some cute awkward blushing or some hand touching would have been nice.
It is a japanese game, they dont care about young girls in every town doing "puff-puff" for free but a gay relationship is too much. If there is a gay character in a japanese game/anime is just there as a comic relief and nothing else, kinda sad
Well, not every romantic relationship is like that though. This feels organic for them. It's my otp, for sure. I just don't see them as the blushy, hand holding type of couple. But they definitely are doin more than sleeping in those beds ;)
@@XXXKaruXXX I noticed that too. There is no excuse for more intimate stuff like touching hands when they add stuff like suicide and “puff-puff” in the game. They can add gay romance.
12:05 - 12:10 I was waiting for them to kiss but they didn't! It was such a perfect moment for that. bad planning DQ...missed opportunity DQ. I picked Erik in my game as the one to be with forever. They really did seem to connect more deeply than the rest of the characters.
Dqxi originally had no options they're all add-ons let's be real but it's so much fucking better than what it was with that Force Gemma bulshit but it still sucks because it's almost all implied romance with every female and with Jade she just whooped your ass gave her about half a second of O A I am going to be emotionally vulnerable and then it just stundere at her and she whooped you
I actually fucking cried at this scene, Erik is my fav character and I'm SO happy you get to marry him Idc if some people don't count this as "marriage", Erik and the protag are gay and nobody can convince me otherwise
Watching people argue that the blank slate mc is straight is the funniest gawddamn thing and I am over here like "Well ACTUALLY if you play the game with shypox there are lines about the mc finding npc and party members attractive/ having a crush on someone they look like regardless of what gender the npc is."
I love dragon quest so much my favourite was number 8 the cursed king but I am beginning to love dq11 even more now the storyline is incredibly outstanding I would give it a 9/10 score truly a near masterpiece of fine storytelling and full of unexpected surprises
I wished they wouldn’t have danced around them being partners by making Erik call him his ‘best friend’ and having them bro fist. I don’t stare longingly at my bros like they did. Just let them love each other gdi
Luminerik for life! I never even considered any other partner for him when I found out you had the option. I had to look up the cutscenes for everyone else because I refuse to choose them in game
All erik fans, i must ask you Does anyone know why erik has that werewolf moment in one of his attacks?? I expected him to be one secretly in the monster arena mission
Eleven and Serena cast a weird spell on him but like... there's a lot of stuff I don't understand about him. Why his fuckin eyes reflect light like a cat, too. Never explained. I'd say Wild Side is just the "pep powers are fuckin weird" rule
@@nedrynthecheeto66 It'd be interesting if in, like, two years there was an interview saying "Yes, well about that. Erik was originally written as a werewolf, but we decided it didn't really fit within the broader lore of the game, so we cut it. But by that time the attacks had already been animated."
I spent most of the game thinking 'Monster - human' hybrids (or Darkspawn as they're called) are going to be a thing and Erik is going to turn out to be one of them... after seeing the Wild Side Power... just to add a little more dimension and lore to the story and to have the Luminary actually being best friends with a Dark Spawn. Even if it never came to fruition, its my headcanon now and nobody can change it. I kinda like the idea of a half-monster Erik.
So if u pick a male, is it actually a marriage? Or u just become roommates with that person. If its some marriage (for some reason i think that) can basically make urself gay
It’s good they make this in definitive edition. I say, Who is the idiot designing that luminary has to marry with genma in the first place. She is so bland, useless, does nothing, no need in story progress at all.
Also lesbian, also married Erik despite never picking m/m options in any other game. I went through the entire story planning on choosing Jade, then saved and reset for all the Tor-top scenes out of curiosity... Really, who am I to stand in the way of love like 12:02 ?
