Almost 4million sales in Japan.

+ a number of spinoff games, and also... a movie.

THAT is how mainstream FF7 was, and still is.
Still (i think), no RPG can match it in sales, and before it... no RPG could either.

So, if by your logic, FF 7 made RPG's mainstream by being a blockbuster, than they have never been mainstream since (since no game has sold as well as it?).

They were popular before, they still are. FF 7 is just a phenomenally popular RPG. Sure it won over a good bit of new fans to the RPG genre. But it did not create the modern RPG genre or "make it mainstream" as so many so often love to say.

The list is "games that mattered" not first games of something.
