Uhm I personally didn't think I was being mean. I didn't mean anything by it, I just thought it would help. Seriously don't be offended, just in the future keep it in mind to help out the reader! Again thanks.

I'm sorry if it looked like I was getting on your case or anything! On reading the above post, I can see now that it wasn't your intention to offend, but only to help. I apoligise, and thanks for being okay about it.

i don't know if anyone really hates FF7 . maybe they love it, but every FF has their flaws , something they hate about it . then again, i might be wrong . as for me, well i certainly don't call FF7 my favorite, but it's truly a great game when i look past the blocky graphics . i had it good in this game until i lost my original file .

It was a quick post, so I had to type fast. And you weren`t too mean.

I don't hate FF VII, just all games have their flaws and I feel FFVII is extremely overated. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, but not the best game ever by any means.

I believe a that a number of people dislike Final Fantasy VII because it took something away from them. FFVII really sent the series mainstream, so all the gamers who grew up on FFIV (II on SNES) and FFVI (III on SNES) lost the claim that playing FF made them unique. This countercultural nostalgia, in my opinion, is what leads them to attack FFVII. All attacks on the story and characters are inane at best; FFVII had a nonpareil story and characters far more detailed and explored than any previous installment of the series. Yes, I am one of those people who will defend FFVII against anything, and yes, I think it is the greatest game ever. However, having played every Final Fantasy, I feel I can do so without the bias of most of the proponents of either side of the argument.

FF7 was the first game in the series that I had played, and by then it was already on the Greatest Hits list. I had know idea what an RPG was when I stumbled upon it at my friend's house. Since then, I've played nearly every game in the series but even without any unfavorable bias towards FF7, I can still make the claim that it's not my first-, or even second-favorite game in the series. It's probably just barely in my RPG top 5, if at all.

And playing RPGs didn't make you unique. It made you a nerd.

I won't argue that there a few players that fit the description you wrote, but it's a huge generalization. Once again, some people genuinely don't feel that it's the best game ever made, or that it's the best RPG ever made, or even that it's the best game in the series. And for valid reasons, but it's not as if those reasons need to be justified.
