Final Fantasy 7 Isn't even the best Final Fantasy Game

Final Fantasy VI is the best one that I've played. Other than graphically, I thought FF VII was a step back in most regards. Even then, I mostly mean cut-scenes and environments, as the actual in-game character graphics for FF VII were horrible. FF VII also seems to be the origin for a lot of bad trends in RPGs after, such as artificially convoluted storylines that make very little sense and the shift to stylish fantasy over classical fantasy aesthetics.

In my opinion, FF VI and FFT are the cream of the crop, with VII through X being really good but not quite to the same level.

And no, I don't care which is the most popular or has sold the most copies. That would be like thinking the yearly CoD release is the best game because it usually makes the most money.

Most successful does not only mean sales. People like to fall on that defense but the truth of the matter is that it made the biggest impact in a positive way compared to other Final Fantasys. For instance, people still want a remake, and we have movies, animes, sequels, and prequels. Other than the fact it sold more copies than the rest, it is still in the top 10 most classic PSone download on PSN since 2009.

All you're saying is that it's the most popular--and, as I said, I don't care about popularity.  There are a million books better than Twilight that never reached a fraction of Twilight's popularity.  So what?  Popularity does not automatically equate to the best by any stretch of the imagination.

I have zero problem with someone having a different favorite game than me but using popularity as some kind of meaningful criteria?  Nuh uh.
