kids who havent actually played FF7, and are just looking at screen shots from back when it was released please dont post.

when FF7 was realeased how many games had you played with that caliber of FMV, and polygonal graphics ???

NONE thats how many !!

oh, and its great too. :P

I did play it at the time. In fact, I'll wager most of those who consider the game a disappointment did so as well - it was very different from the SNES games, after all. I don't personally consider Final Fantasy 7 to be a disappointment; I liked it and thought it was a good game. Just not as good as Final Fantasy 3/6, which I personally consider to be the best RPG of all time. It's a bit irritating sometimes to see FF7 receive so many accolades from fans who have never played the earlier games in the series... but to each their own, I suppose.

Now you brought up the issue of graphics, which always amuses me. FF7 and its characters have been reworked so many times, people forget what the game actually looked like when it came out. That is, when magazines or online sites post images from FF7, they almost never show anything except cutscenes and movie footage - which presents a very distorted view! Now this is more of what the game actually looked like:

Quite a difference, huh? Everyone forgets the super-deformed characters for some reason. I didn't think that FF7 had bad graphics, but the early N64 games were a lot more impressive visually (outside of the cut scenes, but you don't actually PLAY the game during cut scenes, so how they looked never mattered much to me).
