Thisis probably the most overrated games I've ever seen:
Final Fantasy VII: Even if I am a hardcore fan of Final Fantasy, I totally say that Final Fantasy VII is one of the most overrated games that ever existed. When I played it, I didn't managed to see the good things that everyone was talking about. I just saw a normal FF game, and is in the low part of my list. Cloud was a character like everyone, and Sephiroth didn't even have a good reason to try and destroy the world. The story and the gameplay was cool and all, but it lacked many things like using REAL magic, summon REAL creatures, castles, empires, and such things that made the Final Fantasy Franchise something great.
I remember those times when the bad guy was a dude in a big armor, or a destructive being of darkness... Yeah.
For me, there is nothing like the old games.
