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.

I'll add perfect is an open term as it doesn't mean something can't be built upon.

On people saying FFVII being playable today is a thing the reason FFVII is playable today is not really the story or anything like that it's because of a trait of its genre most JRPGs have simplistic gameplay you can take almost any JRPG that was turn based or has a variant of turn based gameplay and it would be playable today as it's far more simple in gameplay Octopath Traveler would be playable in 20 years while many games out now may not be.

This. FFIV remains as playable today too, JRPGs have for the most part kept the same style of play since the 80s. FFVII upped the ante in presentation for that particular genre, but it wasn't as revolutionary as OoT.
