I don't think so in terms of relevance and importance to the industry.

Mass Effect which is perhaps one of the biggest, gained more success/exposure when it pretty much dumped all the RPG elements in 2 for a more shooter esque experience.

I've heard a lot of complaints about how BioWare dumbed down Dragon Age 2 for the console audience.

And honestly, nothing has really matched the sales of the Final Fantasy series at its peak.
