They're so close to me it's so hard to pick a winner!

FF6:

+ More and better characters.
+ Faster paced battle system
+ Game allows 4 characters in the party
+ Row system
+ Very well polished for a SNES RPG.

- Somewhat lacking in innovation.


FF7:

+ Stronger atmosphere
+ Had a much bigger impact on the industry
+ Dared to make a change unlike FF6 which comes off as a heavily polished version of FF4 and 5
+ 3D RPG was a big challenge to get into but the team did a wonderful job at making it a reality.
+ Everything in the battle is fully animated (as opposed to the outdated 'albeit elegant' Sprites in FF6)
+ Materia System adds a layer of complexity to the game
+ More Sidequests/Mini games
+ Harder superbosses
+ Limits

- Early game in the gen means it could've been more polished.

I like your post. As it seems fairly balanced. Question though, how was VII any more innovative than VI? Remember, VI was a steampunk world, VII a cyberpunk one. Before that FF was generic medevial only. Or are you talking about something else? 

 

allow me to show you.
