Ahhh, a typical FFVII thread. Nostalgia goggles seem to play a huge role in these threads, and not just from the FFVII fans. You'll always get FFVI fans that say VII was the downfall of the FF series, conveniently forgiving all of FFVI's faults whilst over playing VII's. You could also replace FFVI with pretty much any jRPG, the conversation will be the same.
Personally, I do love FFVII and it's still one of my fave RPGs. The story was captivating, the characters had emotional side stories and the cyber-punk world was something that I craved as it was so far beyond the typical fantasy settings of traditional RPGs.
I don't agree with the materia system comment as previous games and future games gave far more customisation options, and it hasn't aged well visually. But story and setting are timeless.
