If I had to pick one I'd go with Final Fantasy. The games are simply more ambitious and have done more to push the genre forward. The Dragon Quest games are undoubtedly well-made and have seen some significant quality of life improvements over the years, however the series has mostly rested on its laurels and relies heavily on tradition. I had bought DQ11 for Switch earlier this year and found myself getting bored of it within the first 5 hours. Not a bad game per se, but when you have something like Final Fanrasy 7 Remake that exists it feels a bit trite in comparison. Of course it's different strokes for different folks, as some people enjoy the more simple approach that Dagon Quest offers. Nothing wrong with that.
