It was obscure before Fire Emblem 7 on the GBA and it exploded when Awakening came out. So if Fire Emblem is a good answer, it's because of 7, not Awakening Nier and Ace Attorney are the best answers here --- wololo <cite>Nanis23 posted [p:955873886] in What are s...

Also, Nier with Nier Automata. --- Thanks to Proofpyros for the sig images https://imgur.com/Nv4Pi1v https://imgur.com/N43HJYv <cite>FL81 posted [p:955890720] in What are s...

Mac Arrowny 07/08/21 11:26:03 PM #54:	Ys 8 is still Falcom's best-selling game AFAIK, and even that's not really big. Maybe the thing that makes Trails feel "big" is that most of the people who play it play a lot of the games? Like with a lot of breakout hits, people just play the new one, but with Trails there are more people playing 7+ games in the series. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>Mac Arrowny posted [p:955892725] in What are s...
