I see you have voted incorrectly. Shame, thought we were buds.

EDIT: Here are the reasons you are wrong, and there are spoilers.

1) Kain is the best good guy turned bad guy turned good guy TURNED BAD GUY turned good guy of all time.
2) Tifa is the crappiest replacement heroine of all time. "The girl you had some feelings for totally died trying to save the world, but the world doesn't mean trout to me if my boo is sick! I will honor my murdered friend's sacrifice by TOTALLY GIVING UP THE CAUSE FOR WHICH SHE DEADED OVER"
3)You know that Cid Highwind's schematics for the Shetland Pony came from original designs by Cid Pollendina.
4) The black mages of FFIV could cast a spell MULTIPLE TIMES IN BATTLE that would destroy Gaia- because Earth is a cooler planet than Gaia. I'm talkin' bout Meteo. YES METEO, I PLAY SNES BITCH.
5) Cecil Harvey is literally part dragon. Cloud Strife is partly a little bitch.
6) No ridiculous chick fights in FFIV, but people get slapped around with magnanimity.
7) Rosa and Rydia fly through space HANGING ON TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BIG WHALE so they can preserve their group and fight to save the world, even if it means dying. I already told you how Tifa gave up on the world to push Cloud around in a wheelchair while he "thought some trout through."
8) Cloud is totally faking his disability and doesn't even need a wheelchair.
9) The puppet government in FFIV is actually a puppet - King Baron is a costume worn by one of the four fiends!
10) Spoony. Bard.

the only thing that FFVII has that is nearly as good is Sailor Suit Barrett.
Most of that may be true but all of it is story related. I wouldn't even concede that IV has the better story to begin with, but that's not what influenced my choice.

FFVII is just more fun to play. It has a lot more customization and freedom than IV, which is just a pretty basic level up system with a few summoning side quests thrown in. VII allows you to customize characters with materia, and collecting and leveling it is certainly more interesting than the basic experience gains of IV. There's also a variety of side quests to find the characters' final limit breaks or ultimate weapons or the very best materia through the Chocobo races or battle arena. The limit break alone added another layer to the ATB, which was in its infant stages with IV. And if you don't like your party, you can switch them out.

Maybe FFIV would be the more interesting movie to watch but FFVII is the better game to play.
