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.

If it was just me you'd have a point. But I highly doubt it's just me. The majority of those games they've got in the hall of fame so far most people would know about. Not even most gamers, just most people full stop. Games that don't have that awareness... even if they've been around a long time and have had a load of sequels/spinoffs... do they deserve a hall of fame place? I still think not, especially while there are plenty of hugely influential and well known games not included.

Again 33 years more entries than probably DQ and Final Fantasy combined and I am counting spinoffs of DQ and FF as well,no joke. Still releasing entries in the west. Xseed just announced Trails of Cold Steel 3. First 2 were on Vita and did well in the west and Japan. Series has sold millions upon millions. It's easily one of Japans most popular RPG series. It's larger than Final Fantasy in Japan. So again your lack of knowledge means nothing. Without the popularity of Falcoms games making RPGs immensely popular there,we have no Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy. Falcom made RPGs popular there.

 

Series has been around longer than you been alive. I have seen teenagers who never heard of John Tavolta. You probaly never heard of Rudy vallee but Rudy is still a VERY important part of music history.
