| reaver_x said: first off there was no JRPG/WRPG sub genre's back then like there is today. Back then the RPG genre was a whole single unit and FFVII brought that entire genre into the mainstream spotlight. So without it ALL RPG's would be niche today |
WRPGs were pushing the same 2.5-3 million they still push today, and that goes as far back as the original Diablo in 1996, so no I can't agree with you on there. I don't believe the western RPGs on the PC were directly affected by Final Fantasy VII's success.
