Unknown RPG's

Didn't know how else to say it in a short-but-sweet manner, so I just put "unknown".

This thread is for RPG's that are good, but are hardly ever talked about.

Divine Divinity IMMEDIATELY comes to mind.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

One of the best combat systems I've ever played in an RPG, but I found the story to be boring as hell, personally.

I'm talking games that you can't imagine many other people besides you would have bought, at all, in any period of time.

The Elder Scrolls 1: Arena.

Yeah, it had pretty basic plots and storylines, which sucks because the whole fate-shifting thing in the main quest-line could have been really interesting.

I haven't played the 2 DLC packs, but apparently one of them has a relatively good better story.

KK.

Dark Cloud 2.

The Trails in the Sky series isn't that well-known here in the west as well.

Suikoden 1 & 2.

Planescape: Torment.

It's certainly not "unknown" but is criminally underplayed.

Radiant Historia is pretty good for its niche.

I wouldn't say they are unknown.

Unless you are a Konami exec.

Well they're not as well known compared to the likes of Final Fantasy's popularity.

Nothing is.

Barring maybe Persona?

Wouldn't know i haven't touched those ones.

So which RPG series would be the most well-known ones in your opinion?

I think Pokemon and Final Fantasy are a given (by this statement I retcon my previous comment saying FF is the most famous RPG series, technically speaking the Pokemans are obviously above them at this point in time).

Dragon Quest i remember hearing is far more popular then Final Fantasy in Japan at one point.

I had no idea what Dragon Quest was until you (Zenji), talked about it in one of my threads.

I wasn't living under a rock, I just had absolutely never heard of it.

the keyword here is "Japan" which i said not America.

Dragon Quest has never been that popular, it hasn't even surpassed SMT/Persona.
