The entire first half of the OP is spent talking about how everyone knows what FF7 is, how its legacy has to do with how people are aware of it. Don't make me quote it!
Okay I'm quotin' it!
Now, I'm not exactly a fan of Final Fantasy 7. I personally like its predessor better, Final Fantasy 6. But I'm smart enough to give respect where it deserves to go, and Final Fantasy 7 is one title that deserves our respect. Everyone knows it, my 8 year old newphew who wasn't even born when the game was released knows it. Maybe you've seen the CGI movie, maybe you've played the spin-off, or heck. Maybe your a Final Fantasy Tactics fan who wondered what's this spikey-haired blonde guy doing in my game?
But why? How did this game become so well-known? Some may argue that because it was the first to use animated cut-scenes to help tell the story that it's so well known. Some say it's the gameplay, some say it's the characters, the story, the music. Alot of people love this game for many reasons, and alot of people hate this game for those same reasons. Why do I think it's so famous? Because it took everything that we knew in JRPGs and raised the bar.

The OP simply forgot about Pokemon. That's fine! That's perfectly acceptable. It's okay to be forgetful!
But the answer to the topic is Pokemon.
