Yes, I've played Baldur's Gate II and I and Planescape Torment and Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger....I know what great RPG's are and I'm not saying KoA was or is a "great RPG", I said it was a solid game. I don't care why type of system it imploys, whether that be hack-n-slash or turn based, its still a ROLE PLAYING GAME.
It will never happen. FFVII was unique because it was the first game of its kind to appear on the Playstation One. No game had the CG cut scenes and graphics that game had and Sony marketed it like crazy. There were commercials for it on all the major networks. For most gamers, FFVII was their first experience with an RPG and the popularity of the genre took off after it's release.
