I feel like Skyrim gets the same sort of boost over Morrowwind that FF7 got over FF6. Both previous games were superior but the later games in their series managed to break into the wider cultural awareness. 

Personally disagreed in both cases. FF7 is in my top 20, whereas Skyrim I feel like I placed too low in the 30s. But hey to each their own.

Some people genuinely like FF7 over FF6. But I think a lot of people either haven't played it or played one of the many inferior ports. The GBA version is the best version IMO, but having a GBA without a faded screen or hooking up a Gamecube with a Gameboy Player and Swiss installed to fix all the native GBPlayer issues is asking a lot of people. Then you have the pixel remaster which is pretty bad with a lot of bewildering changes. Anyway FF6 just languishes unnoticed by a lot of people. 

As for Skyrim, I feel it was inferior when it came to story, worldbuilding, and scope to Morrowwind. But then Morrowwind has it's own issues of being completely outdated in so many ways. Skyrim's combat, graphics, and fast travel were amazing for a 2011 open world game. But these days we have so many better open world games that vastly improve on what Skyrim had to offer. (But I suppose not everybody builds their lists based on what the best game is today, but rather how good a game felt to them in the past. Both are a valid way to build a list IMO.)
