Final Fantasy is a no-brainer since most RPG fans have played at least one FF game in their life time. It is the most recognizable brand in RPGs.

Are Pokemon and Kingdom hearts really that great as RPGs? I was under the impression that since they are both aimed at a younger audience they are more RPG lite than regular RPG.

SMT, I was also surprised to see but the fact that SMT is put on every Persona game as well could have tipped the votes in its favor.

Thoughts ?

Not really. Pokemon and KH are the 1st and 3rd best selling RPG franchises in the West, so a lot of people have played them, thus, while their overall quality is lower than, say, SMT, more people can vote for them because, comparatively, there's more people to vote.

In the end, I think this poll doesn't prove much. I don't think that many people that have played both series can claim that Kingdom Hearts is a better series than SMT. This only proves that KH games sell better, and thus gain more votes
