I'd replace pokemon before DQ tbh, and FF6 over pokemon just isnt gonna be accurate. FF6 is probably my favorite JRPG too besides maybe Lunar 1/2. One Final Fantasy is enough, and 7 gets the top billing. Maybe 10 competes with it (iirc Japan actually votes more favorably for 10 than 7)

I dont see how Persona 5 is even close to these 4 but w/e
Persona 5 is the most important JRPG of the past 25 years. People don't want to put 4 games from a 10 year span.

I don't care which entry in each series, it's just important they're represented

Honorable mention to Pokemon, I don't know why but I feel like I can justify putting monster tamer/catcher in a distinct genre of its own

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Its Because the series really exploded with 5 compared to 3 and 4 in a way that no JRPG series has since Pokemon/FF7

thats the thing with not being attached to the PS2 in 2008. (Also I think P4G Steam actually outsold P4 PS2 + P4G Vita combined and that is probably because of the exposure from 5)

This is a tough one.

Chrono Trigger
Xenogears
Wild Arms
Legend of Mana

I could also see both Saga Frontiers, FF5, Valkyrie Profile, LoD, or Dragon Warrior 4 on there.

Edit: And Earthbound.

FFVII defined the genre in the west. DQIII defined the genre in Japan. Persona 5 is the most acclaimed JRPG for a quarter century and it feels right to have a modern representative. That leaves one spot and I'm going to give it to Chrono Trigger, given its acclaim (and the team who worked on it), over RBY.

The real topic of discussion here is Dragon Quest 1 vs. Dragon Quest 3. My case for DQ3 is that DQ3 to Japan is like FF7 to the US in popularity. When it comes to Japanese speedruns, DQ3 is as competitive as Super Mario 64, Minecraft, and Ocarina of Time here.
