PLEASE put that first sentence in a spoiler. Even if it's vague I think it's best to leave it completely out.
That aside though, this is something that has been on the back of my mind for a very long time. DQ3's protagonist being named Erdrick is a spoiler (but it's so widely spread at this point that no one really considers it as such, sadly. Playing the original DQ trilogy blind is an amazing experience), and he's almost never canonically referred to directly as such.
I think the reason they're associated so often is that even before this, the DQ fanbase would commonly refer to him as such, and Google Images shows them as the first result for "dragon quest erdrick".
That being said I still think that DQ3's protagonist is a very sensible and likely choice to represent the series as a whole - he would likely just not be named Erdrick in game, maybe something else like Dragon Warrior.
Either Three or Hero IMO.
