You know, both designs are from Nomura and the original FFVII design has many manga characteristics (see the eyes). The game had a cyber punk feel which was popular back then, see Blade Runner. But western? No, not in my eyes at least. Many FFs have sci-fi stuff, see FFX, FFIV, FFVI it´s not limited to medieval fantasy. And don´t be deluded by Final Fantasy, it originally didn´t have anything to do with medieval fantasy. Robots are popular in Japan btw, more than everywhere else in the world. Tifa has big boobs, japanese trait of creativity again.
Uh, there´s no "under the spell" at least for me with FFVII. It was my first one and I loved it, then I played FFIV and I loved too. Afterwards I played FFVIII and I liked it a lot, then I played FFVI and liked it quite a lot. Then FFIX didn´t like, FFX loved it and consider it on par with FFVII.
The only slight emo in FFVII is Cloud, but it´s done really well how he understands who he is and through his friends and their courage he comes back to his two feet. AC is emo-infested though.
