The reason DQ hasn't done well in the west is because over 25 years, only 4 games have gotten marketing. You cannot make an entire series popular only advertising 1 game every 4-10 years. On the opposite side, series like Pokemon and Final Fantasy became super popular because they got yearly, sustained marketing. Which Dragon Quest as a series did not get. If Enix, and Later SquareEnix had ever tried to give DQ the level of marketing Final Fantasy got, DQ would have gotten popular.

@@Grid433 Similar, yeah. Fire Emblem was mostly unheard of in the west until Marth and Roy were added in Melee. iirc Roy was added to market FE6 in Japan, and it was initially discussed removing the characters for the western release but ultimately they were left in and they were a lot of westerners' first taste of Fire Emblem. The games began getting localized and sold in the west starting with FE7 but the series was still doing poor in sales overall up until Awakening released and revitalized the series. DQ11 has been a lot of people's first experience with Dragon Quest and a lot of that has to do with Eleven and the other heroes' inclusion into smash. I've seen more people talking about DQ this past year than I've seen in, well, a very long time.

@requiemlarp While not directly connected to DQVIII, Ramia (known as Empyrea throughout 8) is from DQIII. She reveals her true name and nature in the end of 8, and mentions something about going to different worlds because the world from DQVIII is no longer in danger, giving the sense that all DQ worlds coexist via different planes or dimensions.

@requiemlarp You're pretty much right about all of that - the one connection that Dragon Quest 8 shares with Dragon Quest 3 is the appearance of Ramia, known as the Godbird Empyrea in DQ8. She was hatched in 3 and makes an appearance in 8. That, and I think the Dragovian Lord from 8 looks a bit like the Dragon Lord from the very first Dragon Quest, but that just might be something the developers decided to do.
