The gameplay in Zelda was perfect and set the base to all future 3d action adventure games. FF VII is a fantastic game, but has no real gameplay innovations compared with snes rpgs. Only the graphics were innovative in final fantasy 7. And these were not even cohesive between battle, world exploration or cinematics.
The story of final fantasy 7 is very interesting and handles deep themes, but its structure is that of a basic anime shonen and has stupid flaws like "Tifa knows everything from the beginning"
I write this as a big fan of FF 7 who has enjoyed the game many times. But Zelda ocarine of time is the best game.

Sorry for my bad english.

If the gameplay had been perfect, there wouldn’t have been room for it to improve. But 3D Zelda gameplay did improve greatly in the titles that followed.

You missed his point.  The gameplay was revolutionary in OoT where future games followed the same core formula and mechanics, and built off of them moving forward.  Final Fantasy VII did not really revolutionize much compared to the RPGs found on the SNES.  It had better visuals than SNES RPGs and told a great story, but thats it.

That was his legitimate reason for picking OoT.  No less legeitimate than someone picking FFVII because to them, they prefer the storytelling.  The fact that he misused "perfect" when he even states in his own post that he has bad english does not seem like a good reason to call him out TBH.
