I just wanted to know wether ff7 is the best or was the first... yeah.
Of course the materia system was the best system, it was after all the easiest.
FF8's junctioning system was difficult until you got the hang of it, once you do you can create godly powerful characters but that's beyond the point, plus drawing all that magic is incredibly annoying
FF9's learning system plain and simply took too long
FF10's Sphere grid wasn't a popular choice either, but there were so many choices there that it was confusing
FF10-2's system was good too, gotta love those class changes!

And The Polygon dudes in FF7 ripped every other ff's animation! It just looked hilarious!!!

And FF7 was the best ever FF because the characters were the best characters ever made (although FF8 does compete very well, but you just can't beat sephiroth, as the gaming world's greatest ever villian) and the story was great because it always remained normal, it didn't loose the plot and become completely warped and carried away garbage like several other rpg's out there. And the chocobo racing was fun!
