Final Fantasy VII: Overrated?

[Carl the Llama]

I've never seen anyone say it's overrated on this forum ( Threads specifically on this topic are an exception ), other than Yamaneko, I think, or on YouTube, in the past three years.

oh you havent? hows about this then:

Overrated: Final Fantasy VII
Underrated: [Final Fantasy I, Final Fantasy VII) U (Final Fantasy VII, Positive Infinity]

Why FFVII is the worst FF:

* It's highly overrated
* The plot just isn't that great. Lots of holes =\
* Not to be a graphics whore, but these graphics suck. FFVI has better design then this.

If I had to pick a worst it would be VII. The story line was really slow to me, it was all Shinra this Shinra that, it's like, when are you going to get to the damned point already???? The ending was really boring and I don't think that it ever could have left off to a sequal and I think that ppl who think so may have read into it to much. Plus that is NOT Nanaki, it's like a 1000 years later, Nanaki is probably dead....I think that was like a happy life goes on kinda thing. It was however for me one of the more difficlut FF's and by far the most boring....all the darn training are running around you have to do in order to survive gets really boring really quick. By far the most in any FF, except maybe 1.) Not only was the story line slow on it's own, but all the lving to keep up with the monsters strength made it even slower >sigh< :fd:

Oh man not another thread like this...
Whatever

For me it was close between ff2 and ff7.

ff2 is just sickening for its story and battle system
ff7 is
1.overrated.Sometimes some1's reason is:Seph rulez
The game rulezz!
2.humans look like somesort of humans made out of 2 parts(palmer,Barret heidegger:i once saw two pieces of palmer apart)
3.Battle system was nothing special
4.Story was good but characters were personality-less
ff7 had great misc though like chocobo.

Final Fantasy VII. I fail to see the appeal in the game, or the spinoffs. I didn't like the music, and every single charactor annoyed me. The story was mediocre at best, though I suppose it was somewhat of a breakthrough as far as what a game could do length-wise. It was an all-around unenjoyable experience that I don't care to subject myself to again.

Kingdom Hearts. I've only played the first one, and while it was fun as hell, I don't think it lives up to the hooplah. The worlds were so limited, the story didn't much interest me... meh, meh, and more meh. The second looks more promising in terms of plot, so maybe I'll pick it up.

FFVII. It's a good game, but not worthy of all the praise that has been heaped upon it over the years. Since it was the first RPG to really hit it big in the West, a lot of people have an emotional attachment to the game, and are willing to overlook its faults. Were it released today, few would hail it as the greatest game ever, or even the greatest Final Fantasy title.

Final Fantasy VII, definitely.
Halo get's way too much love.
I'd say Resident Evil 4, but I haven't played it enough to really decide for sure.
I like Final Fantasy IX, really. It was better than a lot of Final Fantasy games.
Chrono Trigger hasn't aged well at all.
Kingdom Hearts. The camera made me hate the game. I just can't forgive it.

So many are listing FFVII :O_O: Poor VII, a lot dislike you these days. I still love you Cloud and company

This is only the third page of the most overrated game thread...

Additionally when this thread started Overdose only spoke about the game Final Fantasy VII not any of the spinoffs.
