If you don't like it then you don't, no biggie! Though it's always good to give things a second go, but if you still don't likie nobody can sway your opinion through their own personal reasoning. All the hype and fanboy-this-and-that destroys VII for most people anyway.

I always like to think of it like this: Instead of why others like it, consider why you don't. As far as RPGs go, there's nothing wrong with it. It has a plot, the characters, a battle system that stands up even today... People have loved games for less. It's just another game in the RPG genre. If you like RPG's then I don't see any particular reason to hate it so much.
