That's so weird, because Chrono Trigger still doesn't have nearly as much publicity as Final Fantasy or many other games. It's highly rated, sure... but for good reason. There were a handful of firsts that happened with Chrono Trigger. It also has a very different story for its time, and even now it is pretty timeless. To say it's all nostalgia and that it doesn't have much going for it definitely ignores how well the game was created.
Also, your argument for FF7 completely falls apart when you say Chrono Trigger should be in an overrated list.

So if you look at the data, by what definition makes Chrono Trigger more overrated than FF7?

It's constantly praised by it's fans as one of the greatest RPGs ever made. I mean all the time. It seems to have gotten a surge in popularity lately too. I never saw what was so great about it. It felt very generic, other than the time-travel thing, which was decidedly hit-and-miss, as the prehistoric and ruined future worlds were awful. The locations and characters are bland, dialogue is lacking, the storytelling doesn't measure up to other games of the era like FF6 and Super Mario RPG, the gameplay doesn't stand up to the test of time, either. Yes, this is my opinion, but I don't think it deserves nearly the praise it recieves.

A lot of people would disagree with you. There were many aspects of the story that were actually more than met the eye. The characters, in my opinion, told more through their actions than their words. The locations were certainly not bland, so yes I think this is much of your opinion on things.

Also, this video raises many interesting points about the characters and plot of the game.
So basically, what I'm trying to say is that you speak for yourself and your statement on how it should be on other peoples' lists holds no ground.
