You have absolutely no idea what you're f***ing talking about. 

FFVII is just a dumbed down sequel to FF3 (known as Final Fantasy VI on the GBA and in Japan). FFVI did active time battle first. FFVI had the Esper system, and FFVII's version of it was just simplified. FFVI had the idea of mixing tech and magic together. FFVI had big epic cutscenes. FFVII didn't add much to the formula except for graphics. VI is the better game bar none. 

I also think FFVI is better than FFVII, but to say VII is a dumbed down version of VI is nonsense. VI didn't do active time battle first, that was FFIV. Also, Summons/Espers were introduced in the japanese FFIII for the NES, i think. 

The biggest differences in terms of gameplay are how materia differs from magicite and the new limit breaks. The plot is completely different, the only slight similarity is how both mix technology and magic, but even then, one goes for steampunk aesthetic while the other has a more cyberpunk underworld kind of look.
