There wasn't much to the gameplay in FF7. It just had great story and amazing style/presentation. A bit overrated but it was just a joy to watch. It was more like a story or movie/passive entertainment then a game, however. Most Final Fantasies are like this actually. I can see how you would say the game is overrated, but anybody that says it's not fun is probably deluding themselves. If you want a pure gameplay type of game then it's probably not for you because the gameplay really sucks and there's hardly any balance or thought put into the stats etc.

Of course anything can get old but the first time I played it just sucked me in and kind of mesmerizmed me. It helped the RPG genre for the better. There was lots of clones for better or worse but it was a gem.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is probably my all-time favorite game ever. I can play that over and over again and never get bored. The sequels were okay but never as good as the original.
