The JRPG's are just Final Fantasy clones. FF series is the only JRPG series worth talking about in the mainstream gaming world.

Thank god I'm also part of the Niche. Otherwise I will be missing out on many great Jrpgs. Also pokemon and dragon quest are two other 'mainstream" jrpgs that are worth playing.

 

Can Dragon Quest even be considered mainstream. Not of the titles have done well in America and Europe.

In Japan it's a phenomenon.

 

I usually look at WW sales when determining if a game is mainstream or not, unless somebody specifies a region. Although I think DQVIIIs 1 million between the U.S and Others is pretty good for a very Hardcore Jrpg. It seemt hat SE is targetting the West a little more with DQIX also. While it does sell amazing in Japan, it doesn't sell bad in the west. Much better than most Jrpgs.
