I agree nearly fully. My friend was banging on about AC and she ahdn't even played seven before. To make her pay for her henious crime i gave her the game and forced her to play through the whole of Midgar in my presence (it took the whole night and most of the day after). It does really get on my nerves, because then they ask, "Who's Sephiroth?" "Who's Jenova?" "Who's that cool guy?"
And even worse? When they comment on their new favourite character based on how cool they looked - you couldn't do that in the game! They had about three pivots in their entire body! *angry* Phew, that did get out a lot of pent up energy...!
But yeah, it gets me annoyed too
