I think thats selling Dragon Quest 1 incredibly short. It invented the console RPG, which effectively gives it responsibility for an entire genre. Its fine to say that Dragon Quest 3 was also very influential on the genre but Dragon Quest 1 was foundational. Even the FF1/FF4 comparison doesnt work because Dragon Quest 1 was a much bigger deal than FF1.
Also, this whole topic series has been full of well Mount Rushmore is an American concept! when talking about cereals or pies or whatever but now suddenly its all about Japan to the exclusion of the rest of the world!
I just decided to change this sig.
Blaaaaaaargh
