So pokemon may have sold more, but wont do what FF7 has done, it has the potential to do it, since it sells so much, but quality improvements are needed. |
Cinematic storytelling already existed in Final Fantasy VI, and that game did it better. In terms of quality, it gets the Hell kicked outo f it by several games in its own series.
In terms of influence, even "cinematic games" go back to Final Fantasy 2 (the NES one). In terms of influence on genrne tropes, Dragon Quest kicks the crap out of Final Fantasy VII so hard it's difficult to even comprehend.
In terms of cultural impact, Pokemon eats it alive.
I'm not sure by what metric one could say that FF7 is the most "well-known" JRPG.
