Xenogears on 21 April 2010
I've played every FF and would rate FF7 as a 10.
Even though I had played many RPGs and technically impressive games like Super Mario 64 before playing FFVII, it still blew me away like no one game ever have and immersed me into a world that I wanted to explore everything part of, both in terms of gameplay and story. Even in retrospect, the only weakness of the game is the weak localization, but even that was a part of the charm unique to this game.
