I've never seen a more overrated game than Final Fantasy VII.
I don't know, have you seen Guitar Hero?

Anyway, as my favorite Final Fantasy being IX, I may be a little biases, but I won't say I don't like FFVII, I did somewhat despite the fact that it was merely the epic sword fight of a pathological liar and a momma's boy, the Materia system was good and at least gave you visual representation of what materia was and how it worked, unlike FFVIII, what does 100 Curagas or 100 Scans look like? They have to take on some form to collect them.

I will that if there is anything completely and terribly wrong about it it's the fan base, not saying if you like it you're pitiful, if you like it that's great. I'm talking about people who not only make Internet shrines of FFVII, but half their house is a real life shrine of FFVII, people that start families with FFVII as a base for it and there are people who got married over this game, people that try to turn a PS1 game into a religion. That's what is terribly wrong, of course I could be considered a hypocrite because when I was younger, FFIX was big deal to me, I fan ficted and everything, but as I got older, the most I've done recently with FFIX is checked out the script and saw how I could parody making FFVII + II, a parody that acts on the principle if "FFVII" is in the name, people will blindly fall down before the parody fan fiction thread and worship it.
