Why was and still Final Fantasy 7 so loved?

[Ayen]

Apart from having fun gameplay, a good story, cast of characters, a great soundtrack and world to explore it was also the first RPG that a lot of people played at that time and you always remember your first with such fondness. Not to mention that it was the first main title to go from the 16 bit graphics of the SNES to the full power of the Sony PlayStation at the time so it was always destined to be huge.
