Final Fantasy 7 is a great rpg that has become overrated over the years because of the fact that it was the first 3D entry in the franchise (which by the way, looked like crap when FF8 rolled around 2 years later).
To be honest, whilst I think it's a great game, I think it would have been "just another entry" in the series had it not been the first 3D game, the story is complex(ish), but the characters are pretty one dimensional. Still you'll find yourself caring about them, and if you enjoy JRPG's in general, this is just another great one in the history of the genre. It's just no where near the best, is all.
