Ys and Dragon Slayer deserve it more seeing how Falcom created the very first Japanese role playing games ever. They were ARPGs but still the first.

Literally never even heard of that one more. And no, I really don't think games people haven't heard of deserve a place in a hall of fame...

It's still a popular series. It's a famous series. Your lack of knowlege to it is irrelevant. You are not people. A good many people over a period of 33 years have. It has so many spinoff it makes the head spin from Faxanadu on NES to the Xanadu series (a new one coming west in Tokyo Xanandu on PS4 plus Xanandu Next recently released on steam in the west) to the Trails in the series. Trails in the Sky to Trails of Cold Steel. Dragon Slayer series has had immense success in Japan and always had decent success in the west. Falcom has been around forever. Much longer than Enix or Square. They helped Pioneer the market for RPGs in Japan. Dragon Quest came after the DS series and it is true it popularized turn based RPGs in Japanese games and from that point most were turn based. Falcom got many Japanese devs to adopt the bump system in Ys. Dragon Slayer was open world in the same vien as Ultima. Thing is Ultima the very first western RPG and first RPG ever made in video games is turn based. So if you think turn based equates to Japan and Action to the west. Other way around.
