Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

The eleventh installment of the Dragon Quest series.

Long ago, the world of Erdrea was beset by a powerful, malicious darkness. This darkness and the monsters it spawned were eventually defeated by a great hero known as the Luminary, who wielded a blade of light. For centuries, peace reigned, but 16 years ago, on the date of the birth of the Luminary's latest reincarnation, the monsters suddenly returned, burning the great kingdom of Dundrasil to the ground and slaughtering its people.

Since that fateful day, the legend of the Luminary has been split in two. One side claims that the Luminary is a **** of righteousness, and will one day rise to cleanse the land once more and restore peace. The other side claims instead that the Luminary's (or "Darkspawn" as they prefer to call him) mere existence beckons the darkness to return with his light, and only by slaying him will the monsters return to whence they came. One such believer of the 'Darkspawn' version of the legend is King Carnelian, ruler of the nation of Heliodor, the most powerful nation in Erdrea (especially following the fall of Dundrasil, alongside another nation, to the monster hordes). Under his command, his forces are keeping a sharp eye on the four corners of Erdrea for the emergence of the Luminary, utilizing their otherwise friendly relations with other nations and cities to be ready to spring to action once the "Darkspawn" is located. As the years have gone by, the "Darkspawn" version of the legend has gradually overtaken the original legend, to the point that those who still believe the Luminary to be a hero are often ruthlessly oppressed and persecuted by Heliodor's forces and followers.

The story begins with a young man, freshly 16, discovering his destiny as the Luminary. Unfortunately, following the advice of his grandfather and mother (who, being from a highly provincial village in Heliodor's hinterlands, are unaware of Carnelian's obsession), he walks right into the Heliodor throne room and discloses who he is to Carnelian, with predictable results. With the unexpected help of a guileful thief, the Luminary successfully escapes from Heliodor's dungeon, and sets out on a grand journey to discover the true source of the darkness, end Carnelian's increasingly mad reign, and discover his destiny as the savior of all Erdrea.

Question is, who's going to be getting naked? You, the guys, the girls, or some combination of the three?
