  • Front Mission 4

  • Nier
  • Radiata Stories
  • Romancing SaGa
  • Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
  • The Last Remnant
  • The World Ends With You
  • Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria

For starters. That's a lot of games that aren't Dragon Quest and didn't flop.

Sounds to me like someone's judgement is biased by emotion.
FFXIII should be on that list too. It may not have been well received by fans, but, by definition, it was still a commercial success.
