Ok but its sold so well it could make this genre very popular. In that respect it could be seen as a phenomenon.
FF7 was basically a modern version of FF4, 5, 6. But it was still a phenomenon as it made that genre popular.
I'm not saying Heavy Rain has the impact that FF7 had, it didn't, but it has been the genre's breakout hit this generation & its sold enough to make other devs think hey this type of game HAS a chance of selling.
