However, the term "overrated" in my experience, hardly ever implies the game with said title is anywhere near horrible in overall quality. FF7 is a good game that I've played through many, many times, but it doesn't even compare with the likes of FF6 (to give an example from the same series), or Xenogears, or Chrono Trigger.

In regards to FFX-2 (note I'm of the opinion that FFX is also applicable in this situation), and how it compares to the titles I've mentioned... well, after sitting here for nearly a minute trying to find a good way to describe the comparison, I'd say that Muhammad Ali versus Gabby Jay from Super-Punchout would be a fairer fight.
chaos: By overrated, not in every single aspect of the game. Although, for some qualities that the other FF games have as well, people normally only give it praise in FFVII.

Rubedo: Basically, I completely agree with you. FFVII is definetly a marvelous game, whether what everyone else says, it shouldn't change my own opinion.
