If you mean it as in being one of the best and most beloved games in the franchise, yet getting flak from GenZ ADHD toddlers just for being "old"? Then yeah, it fits.
If you instead refer to FF7 being the first game most Westerners got to play of the genre or series, then no. RE1-3 did the heavy lifting first, and SH1 was just a (for once) actually good RE knockoff, with its very own, distinct mood and style.

Team-Silent was a separated sub-studio under Konami between 1998 to 2005.
That being said, you should stop being a mouth-breathing retard, and play all of them. Here's the SH PC Guide + PasteBin links:
