Dragon Quest is ridiculously popular in Japan, it beats Final Fantasy there.

>>735584209But DQ is more popular in the place that actually got the games in a proper state.
>>735584209Dragon Quest took way too long to start getting regular releases in west, which stopped it from establishing itself as part of JRPG essentials in eyes of Western players.Yes, it is still more popular than Final Fantasy in Japan, but both of those series have been really slipping due to extremely slow release schedules, so they have hard time establishing themselves in eyes of new players. Right now audiences of both are just getting older.
>>735584332Final Fantasy has had a rough 20 years because of that. They can't even do the spinoffs right. Something similar to Crystal Chronicles or Explorers could be a huge hit on Steam but instead they push out failures like Stranger of Paradise. It is amazing how badly they keep missing the mark repeatedly.
Has two "I hate sharing and popularity" patrons: Nintendo and the Japanese themselves.
>>735584404Its basically GTA for Japan; Everyone has played it that has touched casual gaming in Japan. That's how common Dragon Quest is as the "sole game" of people who pretend to have gamed at one point other than Pokémon or Final Fantasy, insert some farm sim and Persona. That's basically "I'm a normie, look at me!" list.

>>735584209Because FF is just better overall, outside of Japan nobody finds the bland samey DQ brand endearing.
>>735585426The real answer is bad localization raped DQ to death outside of Japan.
Don't die yet
>>735584209People love the J-Rock, visual kei and bishounen aesthetics of later mainline FF titles, and Toriyama's style doesn't really translate all that well for western audiences outside of Dragon Ball
