Final Fantasy VII. Not necessarily because I think it was the best game, or even the best Final Fantasy, but because it blew everyone away with cut-scenes and dramatic moments. It consumed gaming mind-share for quite a long time. There was a time when every other person in AOL chat-rooms was named after an FF7 character.
