The only game that gives VII a run for its money IMO is X. When everything goes south and you're on the highway fighting Sin Spawn, it took me back to that same feeling of FFVII, like "here's a new generation of consoles, here's what it can do."

Of course VII takes the cake though from how innovative and ahead of its time it was. Crazy to think about all those cinematic action games last generation that basically start with a crazy cutscene and give you control in the middle of it, and how it all basically started with FFVII.

Also have to give a nod to the oft-forgotten FFIX, that opening FMV of Alexandria was so well done and detailed, it was beautiful to go back to a more whimsical kind of Final Fantasy.
