the first lines lost me, JRPGs were bigger in the 16bit era than in any time, saying that the genre exploded into mainstream when FFVII was released is not accurate.

In was still niche in the West in the 16-but era.  In Japan, JRPGs were mainstream since the original Dragon Quest.  Heck, Dragon Quest invented the sub genre which is partially why Japanese gamers are so loyal to the series in the first place.
