DQ7 is actually my favourite Dragon Quest game (V comes close though). I agree with you about the characters not being as great as some of the others in the series, but I loved the gameplay and I didn't find anything wrong with the mini-narratives. The pace of the game is really slow, which will probably scare away most people who give it a try, but I'd say that it's one of the best classic-style JRPG's that have been released post-SNES, if not the best.
