In the Late 90s to Early 2000s, how big Was Final Fantasy to those that didn't own a PS1/PS2?

Full disclosure, I asked this question years ago in another subreddit, but I didn't specify if it was big outside to those that didn't own a ps1 or ps2.

I still notice that on videoke songlists, the vocal theme songs for FF8 to FF10 are still there so it was probable that it had some impact at the time. The answers in the old thread I made seemed to indicate that it was indeed huge to the crowd that had consoles, but what about those didn't afford a ps1/ps2 back then? Were they aware of these games too?
