Games that shoot genres into the spotlight tend to be over rated. As my first RPG I still don't think that FFVII is the best in the series let alone ever.
It was however a wonderful experience that lead me to thirst for many more like it, and I will always appreciate it for sparking the love of games that were about more than instantaneous action. I never cared about characters or stories till FFVII. I felt so upset i turned off the game when Aeris died. Using cinema to achieve such a connection and sympathy was no doubt amazing for it's time.
It was consequently beaten in just about every single FF after. I still think that for it's time FFVIII has the best balance between being cinematic, gorgeous, with interesting characters, and fun battle system(even though it's just a cross between FFVII and FFVI). Triple Triad was the best mini game ever.
