Final Fantasy VII, while a good game, is no doubt overrrated, with many flaws, such as:
It is very poor graphically, especially when you look from its FMV to in-game stuff.
While the character models were not in tip-top shape outside of battle, the surroundings inside areas were very well done. Plus the battle character models were nicely done.
It is extremely easy.
You can change the speed of the battles to a faster pace. You can also change the battles to active mode to where you have to think on your feet nonstop while the enemy is taking turns constantly. It's in the config menu.
Noneof the characters are very memorable, or even likable. I was at the point where I didn't mind Aeris dying because she annoyed me so much. Cloud is also annoying as hell. And who decided to make Yuffie and Cait Sith? WORST MAIN CHARACTERS EVER.
I beg to differ and thought they were the BEST MAIN CHARACTERS EVER (lol caps).
Opinions, Opinions
Sepiroth is a much worse villain than Kefka.
Too broad of an opinion and not worth disputing. Need better reasons why you think this.
The story is also very confusing. Something that would make it more comprehensible must have been lost in translation.
It's confusing yet contains much depth and interest. The player can make up his/her own mind in what happened in many parts.
Battles are an excercize in frustration when several characters can't move. It can take 30 SECONDS between enemy turns.
30 seconds? LOL! exaggerate much? Their turns don't take nearly that long.
Why do I have only 3 slots for equipment? What was wrong with what VI had? 4 Equipment+2 Relics=Awesome.
You should be happy about this, the materia takes care of the relic-like abilities and you can attach more on to you, plus you don't have to fiddle with so much equipment making organization much better. The bare essentials in other words.
Materia makes the game way too easy the way it's set up.
So you're complaining about something that makes the game more playable and faster paced without unneeded crap in your way?
Have you ever tried to navigate a 2 pixel-wide character across a 3-pixel wide bridge, while the camera is 40 feet away? This is the game where you can!
Try harder.
It's unfortunate that it is not as good today as it was 10 years ago. It's also unfortunate that Final Fantasy's decline started with this game.
No game is as good as it was when it first started to the current day. However, many people like me still enjoy the game just as much as when it was released. FF7 just has so much substance in it, and many video games lack this vital element heavily.

This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*
