And there is another factor. Final Fantasy was a symbol for Playstation winning over Nintendo. they made advertisements with that. That produces an emotional divide thinking about FF7. People invested with Playstation will see FF better than it is, people invested with Nintendo worse. And as I said, three times as much people had a Playstation. So this helps. I would like to see the split on above poll for europe and America. I have a strong feeling in europe FF wins strongly, as N64 didn't have a strong presence.

The same could be said of OoT, even if the reasons may slightly differ.

People invested with Nintendo see OoT better than it is, and those who aren’t see it as worse.

Well, I owned both systems, played both games at, (OoT) and near (FFVII) their respective launches. You didn't need to be biased towards a particular company to appreciate that Ocarina was special, the game was just jaw dropping from the start.

The best comparison I can make between the two is this: FFVII pulled me into its story more than any game before or after it, and OoT sucked me in to its world more than any game before or after. In terms of which was the better game, Ocarina was, and this is coming from a guy whose favorite genre from 1994 to 04-05 was the traditional JRPG.
