I know this may sound hearsay but I have friends who love JRPGs but don't really talk or even recognize Dragon Quest. Basically they usually talk about Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Tales, Persona, Xenogears, and even Suikoden. I know VIII and IX sold decently (millions of copies) but sometimes I feel like there's no dedicated Western fanbase for this series.
So Era, in your experience, do the people you know who are into JRPGs talk frequently about DQ?
