Off the top of my head would say the Bioware games (Mass Effect 1/2 and Dragon Age: Origins), Fallout, Borderlands, Lost Odyssey, so there has been a few, but its a rarity.

On another note, it's really interesting to see, not just here, but all over the internet how widely discussed this game is. Whether people hate it or not, it stands as a huge testament to how much people care about Final Fantasy. Wasn't sure if it'd still receive such massive discussion now that we've entered the Modern Warfare era of video games. I hope that it shows developers that a ton of people still care about these types of games.
Final Fantasy is the exception not the rule.
The same way that new Super Mario Bros Wii was heavily discussed and sold over 10 million copies, but we won't see a revival of 2D platformers or 2D games in general.

It just goes to show what name brand recognition gets you in this day and age.
