I think alot of people who liked it,praise it because it was the first game to introduce them to JRPGs.Lets face it;the RPG genre was not really popular everywhere until FF7 came out.Many people don't even play any other RPG series besides Final Fantasy,leaving other low budget RPGs not in the mainstream out to dry.

 One thing I've tended to notice over the years is that people who played the SNES final fantasies tend to rate one of them (usually 6) higher than 7, where as you've mentioned, those that were introduced to FF on the Playstation tend to consider 7 the greatest. This was due to a combination of things including the game pushing technical limits at the time and being one of the more commercial jrpgs. Those that had played previous ones already had expectation of what made a great final fantasy, and fancy graphics and sound didn't make up for what they felt was lacking.
