Playing FFVII after as i said before, 10 years, its given me a new appreciation

[Avarice-ness]

But I would disagree that VII was the peak...VI was better, and Tactics was better and those are two games directly in front and behind VII. (although Tactics isn't part of the series proper i guess)

I agree, but I go by the number of FFVII fans to the number of FFVI fans, I believe FFVI is better in everyway. Saddly most people don't notice it due to FF7's constant mass marketing.
