I would gamble the Tales series comes the closest to FF and DQ in the states and Japan. But it's not like I have facts to back up my wild claims or anything.


Final Fantasy's popularity gets the games large budgets and good teams. I'm usually pretty impressed with them. But I'm not as skeptical and harsh on the series as many others. It makes it easier for me to just enjoy them instead of compare and bitch about everything. That's why I generally like it the best.
