"Real RPG gamer" LOL.... that ranks right up there with 360 fanboys who claim the "If you don't own a 360 you're not a REAL gamer" type bullcrap. This "real" crap needs to stop, it's nonsense. |
Honestly, yeah. I mean, most RPGS, or atleast the turn based ones sell horrible outside of Japan. The reason being, a lot of people hadn't played RPGS since before FF7, and a lot of those people playing Final Fantasy games arn't playing other RPG games... you can see that by RPG sales outside of the Final Fantasy series sucking outside of Japan. (aside from a couple notable exceptions.)
I mean, by your logic... Pokemon is the most well crafted and highest quality RPG in existance because of how much it sells.
If FF7 brought in more fans of the genre, other games in the genre would have enhanced popularity as well... however due to the sales, it's clear that FF7 didn't create fans of RPGs, it created fans of the FF brand.
