What are you talking about?

When FF VII came out, there was no other JRPG games that looked remotely as good as it did. Yes, it did get surpassed not long after, but when it originally came out, there was no denying how great it looked compared to what came before it.

No it looked bad. Those blocky lego character models in the main world looked worse than a SNES game. Go play Crono Trigger and compare the two. FF7 was an ugly game. Its biggest short cut was its pre-rendered backgrounds which if you are saying that looks good well each to there own. Im no fan of Pre-rendered visiuals. Id much rather full 3D or a good art style than just a low res video playing in the background. 

Anyway i am a huge fan of FF7 and it drew me in with its compelling story. Its visusls is Some thing that definilty hasnt aged well and it explains why it needs a remake.

You talk as if you experienced the game a decade after its release. Back then, it was praised for most everything it brought (graphics, music, cut-scenes, story, characters, you name it). 

It got surpassed fast, sure. But most people agreed it was a great looking game when it came out.
