Despite having never played DoC, I still voted for RE4.
The main thing, for me at least, that makes FF7 so good is Sephiroth and all the things involved with him (e.g Cloud, Aerith, Zack, Shinra all that). Sure Vincent may have a very interesting backstory and be a kickass character but I still don't think that he needs his own game which btw looks really stupid in the FMV's because him and this new enemy just turn into demigod/devilish monstrosities.
RE4 is just...fun. Last time I checked, that makes a game good.
