Whenever it's mainstream. And I think as long as it's turn based, it probably will stay niche. I mean niche means "intended for a certain market or having a specific appeal". I have no doubt in my mind that the people buying Persona 5, Nioh, Nier are all hardcore gamers and by hardcore games I mean pretty much everyone who isn't like us who goes on gaming forums etc. That's why Final Fantasy isn't a niche game, it is pretty well known in the "average" gaming community, while Persona is definitely not. 

Hmmm not sure if I agree with that, by that measure a lot of games with decent sales are also niche. imo niche is anything that sells under a million per game, but I wanted to hear the opinions of everyone here

Umm, you are right, I was also thinking it also just has to do with "appeal", I mean, Persona 5 obviously is a game that appeals to certain people, JRPGs with simulation (dating etc). I think that's a very specific game. While Final Fantasy just seemed to be about making a game in a Fantasy setting which is pretty generic.
