It's debatable among the BoF community whether III or IV is the best game in the franchise and they both rank as the top for most fans so I wouldn't really say IV is the underdog here. BoFII is probably more deserving of the "great but overshadowed by the others" card.

Dragon Quarter on the other hand is pretty well reviled or overlooked in the BoF community and has the distinction of being the series "franchise killer".

Suikoden IV is also the black sheep of the proper Suikoden titles with only Suikoden Tactics and the reboot entries being slightly more hated but I honestly enjoyed the game even if it was a step back from it's predecessors.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations and ACIII tend to either be overlooked or really hated by AC fans (until Unity at least) but I honestly enjoyed them both. In fact Revelations is easily my favorite entry in the franchise.

I actually enjoy Persona 1, despite what all the newbie fans say about it.

Mega Man X6, while not exactly the most hated entry (that would be X7) it's ranked pretty low on the list for being a rush job with a design set-up that I'm sure Dark Souls director was inspired by. The game is unfairly difficult but I honestly love it and it's actually one of my favorite entries in the X series behind X1 and X4.

With all this said, I probably wouldn't even rank most of these games on an actual list because they are all pretty popular franchises and the unpopular angle really only comes from within the fan community itself. I even removed an FF entry when I realized how ridiculous it was to say a game that most likely outsold most of the above titles is somehow "unpopular".
