I saw one website make fun of how overrated Final Fantasy VII was by having a list of the top ten orange video game characters and putting Final Fantasy VII as number 1. It was awesome.

I'd also like to add that the most annoying thing in the world is people who act like the only reason someone could have for hating Final Fantasy VII is so they can rebel against the waves of fanboys. No. I played it and I thought it was a mediocre game. Hype or no hype.
