Final Fantasy VII - Overrated?

Don't take this thread the wrong way. I'm not saying that FFVII is a bad game or anything at all. I'm just giving my opinion that it gets way too much credit. There are much better games out there, even in the Final Fantasy series.

The story was okay, but I did not feel too involved in it, like I did not bond with the characters or anything. Best example I can give of this is FFX. Amazing storytelling and great character development throughout the game.

Gameplay was good. I just didn't care for the leveling system. Once again, I think FFX did this best.

As I said, I did enjoy playing FFVII, but I do think it's overrated.

I do believe, however, that if it weren't for FFVII and Gran Turismo, the PlayStation would not have been as popular or dominant as it was. Same with Halo being the main reason that the X-Box survived at all.
