Final Fantasy is the best selling of the traditional JRPG, but other franchises aren't far behind and have been closing the gap
DQXI and Persona 5 (plus Royal) sold over 6 million which would put them on par with any Final Fantasy before XV. Kingdom Hearts 3 sold 6.7 million so it's in the same boat.
In particular the success of Persona shows that if you put out something good consistently the sales will follow. Persona being in the sales mix with FF, DQ and KH would have been a laughable thought two gens ago. Also Persona did those numbers as a PS exclusive, while FFXV was multiplat
And this is ignoring stuff like Pokemon or RPGs that go beyond the traditional JRPG style like Monster Hunter and Elden Ring
