The Compilation of FFVII should never have happened. Every new release they make in that universe takes away from a lot of what was good about the original game, which includes the sense of mystery and wonder of it. It's also worth noting how much less colourful the sequels are than the original game.

FFVII, while a good game, isn't as good as the hype makes it out to be. It's probably the fourth or fifth best game in the series.
