Don't get me wrong, I do love the game and it's nowhere near as out of place as the vast majority of games on the list, and it's not really about its placing on this list but it's a thought I've had for a while now and I just really don't see how a lot of people can rate it as highly as they do. I know people love to hate on Final Fantasy VII for a reason I'm not sure I entirely understand but how people think it comes close to VII or IX, let alone the best Final Fantasy really has me baffled.

Dunno, I think FF is really overrated in general. FF7 most of all.

Planescape: Torment at 188 and GTA at 4.

This be making sense.

They're all incredible games, however some are overrated (VI and X in particular), but VII? It's barely overrated, if at all. It's recognised by many as being what it is (one of the greatest games ever made, and arguably the greatest, especially for its time) and a lot of people seem to like to hate on it for that very reason.

Bullshit FF 7 is waaaaaaaaay more overated then VI.

Considering how much better than VI VII actually was, and the fact that VI is generally rated as almost as highly as VII, and even more highly by a large number of people, I'm gonna have to give you a big "NO!" on that one.

FF7 IS overrated Imo. While it is a great game, its far from the "best game every made" ff7 fanboys keep spouting.

I personally regarded FFX as the best of the series.

FFVII was legendary for the fact that it revolutionized RPG in a completely 3D environment.

It definitely deserves a spot in any top 20 'best of all time' list.

Indeed. I'd put it in my top five personally.

FF7 isnt overrated. i'm not a fanboy or anything, i just remember the game being 'that' good. it captured me in a way not many other games did, it had an addictive and compelling story, and it had a really good turn based combat system. theres always going to be people who dont like it, we're all different. but there is a majority of people who regard it with distinction in their gaming life.

i think my personal top games would include ff7, super mario world, super mario kart, cod4, gta3, nba jam, street fighter 2.... theres probably loads that i have much love for, but would probably not be in a list such as this. for every 10 games i love, theres probably 8 of them people will disagree with.

and then theres the fannoys who have a hard on for sephiroth.

the list was flawed before being made. You can't rate games of completely different genres and time periods and try to decide which is better. what a stupid idea

I started gaming in 2001? So i grew up with the later games thats why and VII didn't felt that revolutionary after wards.
