Because 3D isn't inherently superior to 2D, otherwise the original Wolfenstein would be better looking than Street Fighter III. Good 2D is better than bad 3D.
Keyword here is "technical". VII's graphics use more processing power, require more memory, usually demand a longer time to make; on the technical side of things they are better. Whether you like one more or not is the aesthetic side of things.

How is that possible when (as in every Final Fantasy) none of the actual art in the game resembles Amano's work at all?

Kenshin has brought up alot of good points.

not getting the credit it deserves = underrated

not getting the credit it deserves from as much people as you would like = jelousy

FFVI DOES get the respect it deserves, this thread is living proof, just because it isn't from as many people as VII is such a childish and whiny way to call something underrated. It's like holding your own personal vendetta against the masses, all the while making generalizations about people you can't speak for.

I've never met anyone in real life who furiously proclaimed VII was the ONLY good Final Fantasy. I have, however, met tons of people on this forum who say that FFVI is the ONLY good FF, sometimes accompanied by IV as the only good ones. Also ironic is how alot of these people call themselves "old school"/"original" FF fans, when in reality they could not have played HALF of the original Nintendo games, not to mention bash them once they were released in the US.

And yes, the subtitle below this forum name is WAAAAY too fanboytastic. And I hate that word!
