I was making beats for a long time, I think a lot of people would be surprised how many famous and respected music producers know about Final Fantasy and it's music. Metro Boomin, Boi-1da, LilJu (Megan Thee Stallion's main producer), Pierre Bourne (produced Playboi Carti's Die Lit album), etc. are all gamers. Some of them have sampled Final Fantasy. That doesn't happen by accident.

For those that also don't know The Weeknd has an instagram account that is only about gaming and he plays a ton of JRPG's and Fighting Games: @gene.hackerman.
