Saying that FFVII is good is an opinion, not a fact. You can't shove FFVII in my face and say it is good when I clearly say it is not. My opinion balances your opinion, because there is no way to prove that said game is good.

I have better things to do than argue with a vindictive megalomaniac who just can't accept the fact that some people happen to think for themselves and disagree with his opinion.
Oh my god! Are you even paying attention to what I'm talking about?!
I don't care if you dislike the game or not. It's your right to have an opnion about it.
BUT saying that it's overrated because of it's success is wrong, by the simple fact that success =/= overrated. Stop arguing with me, and go look on the damn dictionary!
I just can't resist. As Momiji has attempted to explain, for something to be overrated, it must be popular. There's no room to argue this; if you attempt to, it will only show your inability to understand the English language. Popularity is necessary to deem something overrated; similarly, unpopularity is necessary to deem something underrated.

However, popularity is only half of what makes something overrated. It is the more objective half (I say "more objective" because how popular something must be before one can appropriately define it as overrated is a rather subjective and sometimes arbitrary value) of the definition. To call something overrated is an opinion and therefore requires a subjective analysis. In this case, Momiji believes that Final Fantasy VII is a bad game. Let's examine this closely, step-by-step, since you seem to be ignoring a majority of the argument.

1. Final Fantasy VII is a popular game.
2. Momiji believes that Final Fantasy VII is a bad game and is undeserving of said popularity.
3. Therefore, Momiji believes Final Fantasy VII is overrated.

The Crystal, there is no more to this. You argue that popularity does not equate to overrated. This is true. However, popularity is a necessary part of being overrated. If someone thinks a popular game, movie, song, painting, cake recipe, what-have-you is bad, then he is also entitled to believe that it is overrated. Whether or not you disagree with this is completely irrelevant to Momiji's opinion.

As Momiji has said, this thread was asking an opinion. You do not think that Final Fantasy VII is overrated because your opinion differs from Momiji's on point two. You think FFVII is a good game. Therefore, you think it is deserving of its popularity. This, however, does not make Momiji wrong, nor does it make you right. Overrated is an opinion. Momiji is not trying to say that "FFVII is overrated and everyone who thinks otherwise is wrong." He's stating his opinion, which just happens to be contradictory to yours.

Your counterarguments are feeble and misguided, so stop trying before you embarrass yourself further.

And a little bit tossed in to stay strictly on topic: I think Final Fantasy is a good addition to the franchise. I believe it is overrated because I do not think it is deserving of the immense popularity it receives. It's good, but it's not that good.
