I couldn't say it better myself. I've played all of the FF games and Final Fantasy VII happens to be my favorite one of them. Possibly my favorite game of all times.

I do not see how it's overrated. Either you like it or you don't, it's a personal opinion. Final Fantasy VII is though the most popular game of all the FF games so it must have something special the other ones don't.

With that being said, go ahead and call me a fangurl, I don't care, it won't change my opinions about the game!
