This game is so overrated.

Did you even pay attention to Barret, Cid's and Red XIII's stories? Barret the hardass getting worn down and self-loathing with his perceived mistake, having to get his confidence back? Cid hating Shera for ruining his life, ultimately realizing why that happened? Red XIII hating his father for the perceived cowardice, learning the truth? That isn't even including the main story with Cloud and Tifa's development.

There are plenty of valid criticisms of FF7, but you seem to be trying to just nitpick at everything, including making things up where they don't exist.

I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. I'm not talking about misunderstandings one character had with another person. I'm talking about their character. What they believed in. Stuff like that.

People overrate the story, the characters, and espiecially Sephiroth. I think I covered why this guy was overrated. In fact, I don't even consider this nitpicking. I haven't even talked about the story, music, battle system and such. I stated 2 problems I had with this game. Characters and the villain. Oh wait, they can go together, so one problem.

No, you stated that there was no character development which isn't true. You stated that it only revolves around 3 characters which isn't true and you stated that because the main story "is around 3 characters"....the game is poor, which isn't true. In fact the game is around more than 3. The only 2 that you can remotely say were underdeveloped are Reeve and Vincent (and the latter, I think it was Nomura who said this is deliberate, since giving him more dialogue takes away from how mysterious and cool he becomes).

The thing is, you then cite FF9 as your favourite but this has less dialogue overall, less characters and less development of those characters.
