Nostalgia can be a deciding factor in what games people like (since we can't really be right or wrong). For example, Final Fantasy IV was the first Final Fantasy I ever played. As such, it holds a special place in my heart, with nostalgic music, characters, and atmosphere. I could very well pick it as my favorite. Why people like or think something is their favorite is entirely up to them. Final Fantasy VII is not the most popular FF for this reason however, there are many other obvious reasons for it's popularity which I'm not repeating again, here.

I don't have much nostalgia with VII, so that proves your point wrong. I like it for other reasons (music, characters, blah blah blah), and I'm not a 'fanboy'. Just because something is liked by a good deal many people (and you honestly can't blame the first FF a deal of people worldwide have played for goodness, being popular!) doesn't mean that it's bad.

Anyway, I can't decide on an ultimate favorite, but FFIII, FFIV, FFVI, and FFVII are all pretty great. I like all the games for multiple reasons, and I find it very hard to dislike games (though I do acknowledge the bad aspects of the games). If I were forced to pick, it'd probably be III or VI though.
