Ok I gave 3 points for each 1st RPG played, 2 points for each 2nd RPG played and 1 point for each 3rd RPG played.

So far, here is the results :

1. Dragon Warrior / Dragon Quest - 18 points
2. Final Fantasy VII and Super Mario RPG - 12 points (each)
3. Final Fantasy II (IV) - 9 points
4. Pokemon Blue and Chrono Trigger - 8 points (each)
5. Pokemon Yellow, Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy X - 7 points (each)
6. Secret of Mana - 6 points
7. Final Fantasy III (VI) and Final Fantasy VIII - 5 points (each)
8. Paper Mario and Golden Sun - 4 points (each)

It seems strange that so many people played Dragon Quest as their first or one of their first RPG's, and yet it is still way less popular as a franchise than Final Fantasy, and even franchises like Tales of or Star Ocean that don't even appear on this list seem to be more popular in the west.

Back in the days, Dragon Warrior was the first real RPG on a video game console. Plus, the game was published by Nintendo (like the first Final Fantasy) which make it very popular back then.
