Its a known fact, when you ask something first franchise that springs to mind when you say jrpg it'll always be FF. Almost Every jrpg has aspired to be like Final Fantasy, its one of the longest running jrpg franchises of all time surviving when 80% of all other jrpg franchises died after the PS2. We are nearly up two 30 years which is a feat not many franchises have lived to see, that's almost 10 years on Pokemon. While Pokemon is still fo the same thing its done for 20 years making next to no changes from the original recipe Final Fantasy drastically changes from title to title(for better or worse).
