You cannot educate people on why one particular story is better than the rest. It's all subjective, no matter what I still prefer others like FF6 or FF10, and writing an essay about it won't be meaningful since we still wouldn't agree. There are also things that will heavily skew opinions, like which FF was your first (for a vast majority it was VII). I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the game, but you can't expect it to be everyone's favorite.
Also, don't try using popularity to back up your claim, as it isn't relevant to the point. In terms of sales, or "Pop Cultural Phenomenon," Pokemon completely blows FF7 away. It has spawned movies, spin-offs, cartoons, card games, etc...
