Most likely different teams

i for one never played ff7 so I will be excited to see what the hype is all about!

If you played VI or X you will be disappointed.

Why?  I have played vi and x and I thought vii was the best final fantasy ever made...

You are the exact reason why i would be disappointed. Even more than a decade later, the game is still overhyped and overrated. It is not, objectively, the best final fantasy ever made. Every Final Fantasy was directed with the same greatness, VII is just the one that suits the most your tastes.

VII like any Final Fantasy had flaws, like a storyline with a lot of fake twists, and I didn't find the protagonist in any way interesting. And the post game grinding was boring too.

Are you trying to say that FF games cannot be ranked? because I think they can objectively in a few things. I don't see the issue with guaging fan reception + sales as a reasonable means of quantifying each entry's popularity.

FFVII and X are the two highest selling(# of units) in the series, both highly rated. They have their issues such as translation flubs but over all they are seen as the creme of the crop. 

FFVIII is almost unversally panned as one of if not the WORST FF game, FFXIII is very close to it. They both have broken combat and leveling systems and are reviewed much lower than avg FF game. Sales wise they are competent but not as high as VII and X.

VI and IV are regarded very highly by fans but they don't really come close to sales of PS1 era FFs.Frequently are in top 10 jrpg lists.

With this info you can visibly see FFVII, X, VI and IV are of the better ones, leaving the rest to fight for the bottom. VII has the most fans(proven by sales) so yes, it is the defacto "most popular" FF game.
