It's mainly because so many people starting on FFVII and thus just say it's the best. Young whipper snappers even have the gaul to disbelieve gaming exsisted before PS1.

Yes I said gaul get over it! I don't even think I used it right so bleh!

But yeah I've met too many people who played FFVII first, and then say it's the best when they only have played X, VIII, and the first 3 minutes of IX, and claim it's the best, while saying the first 6 were, and I'm quoting from a few RL encounters mind you "They have retarded graphics, so it sucks"

Of course I'm a bit bitter on this subject due to too many RL arguments with friends about it. But don't get me wrong FFVII is a fine game, with a nice story, some cool characters (I absolutely loved Cait Sith, Yuffie, Barret, Cid, and Red XIII, very uniguely designed characters in my opinion.) but I don't feel the game itself was good enough to warrant being called theb est ever. Especially when so many people seem to believe it's a fact that it's the best.

Of course then again I'm just bitter when it comes to calling any game the best. >.>
