I wouldn't say its completely overrated but I don't like how every other FF is considered bad or not as good when the SNES one (3 in US, 6 in actual order) and FF VIII were just as good as FF VII for gameplay and story-wise.

I think a big factor is from Sony having exclusive rights to this game because they funded the game and has a special connection to the Playstation brand.

It is also similar to other games like Super Mario Bros 3, Ocarina of Time, and Mario 64 being very influential and game genre changers for their time but considered overrated when compared to games or recent gamers of today. Its more of a console generational issue with some people only starting this generation or the PS2/GC/Xbox generation and ended up missing how big of an effect those games had to gaming.
