Welcome to 95% of the people that call FF7 "overrated" - people that played it several years after it had come out.

I'm sure more than 5% of the people that call it overrated say that because they think it gets too much attention and that 6, 8 or 9 were better games and are more deserving of praise, rather than because they didn't play it for years. I'm one of those people by the way. Both 8 and 9 are in my top 3 games of all time while FF7 barely makes the list.

Edit: Also I find it hilarious that people are falsely claiming that others are using words wrong or even aren't rating things by the "correct" arbitrary metric just because they're upset that not everyone thinks the game they like is the best thing since sliced bread

Well I'm not one of those people. I played FF7, 8, & 9 when they came out. 7 isn't overrated at all. FF8 was trash because it didn't know where it was going. FF9 had a better ending than FF7, and it's one of my favorite - but it's not better than 7 from a critical standpoint. (It's Hironabu's favorite though, so that says something)

 

But if and when I say a video game is overrated or not, they're video games I played within a 2 years of release - not 8 or so years...that's just being dishonest to your own credibility of having a valid opinion on the subject.
