thats kinda true, but dont forget that ff7 started the whole CG trend which like 100% of rpgs now-a-days use. including the rpg/movie xenosaga
And your point is? It doesn't matter what made RPGs popular, it's ROOTS are at the utmost basic in pencil and paper. CG is just another way of displaying things. I'm not saying the older games are BETTER mind you... however, I derive far more pleasure out of playing the sprite-based Lunar than I do out of the polygon based FFs.
Actually... if you want to get really technical, then RPGs have been around for much longer... I mean, whenever kids pretend to be something they're not, they're role-playing, and occasionally it takes place in a game-like form. So RPGs have been around... for a very long time... (wow, I feel stupid for stretching my definition that far)
