But by far, in my opinion, it is without a doubt the most overrated ff if not the most overrated game of all time.
Most of FF7's critics just call it mediocre. I really think the title of "most overrated game ever" should be reserved for something that's actually bad, like Lunar.

(Note: when I said this at I-Mockery, one of the administrators responded with the strawman arguement "a game doesn't have to be bad to be overrated." That's not what I'm saying.)

Now, I kind of like Final Fantasy 7. I'm not saying it'd make my Top 100 List, and I do agree it's overrated (it's not on my Overrated Games list because (A) when I wrote that I hadn't played it yet and (B) even if I had played FF7 before I wrote that, I still wouldn't put it on there since it's probably on 3/4 of the rest of the Most Overrated Games List out there). There's some good ideas there, but they're unevolved and mired in a sloppy plot, shitty minigames, and oblivious fanboys and fangirls who want to sleep with Sephiroth.

And I adored Cid. He was like a little kid in a compulsive swearing old man's body.
