FFVII did not really revolutionize anything that we have not seen in other FF games on the SNES.  This is an undeniable FACT.  It is however, still a fantastic game.

Thats how I see it at least.  It had nothing to do with people being able to praise FFVII.  It deserves praise.  I just found it funny when you pointed out excerpts from reviews and said they were more important with the score.  So I decided to make a jest.  Thats all.

That made me laugh pretty hard.

"FFVII did not really revolutionize anything that we have not seen in other FF games on the SNES"

FF7:
-went from 2D sprites and tile backgrounds to 3D characters and impressive, artistic and highly detailed pre-rendered backgrounds
-basically ushered in FMV storytelling during key scenes. FF7 is responsible in large part for the cinematic storytelling road the industry has traveled down for AAA games since
-the music made a similar leap, with a huge, sweeping orchestral soundtrack
-became the blueprint for RPGs and cinematic story focused games to follow

Something else revolutionary: Final Fantasy VII is the first game to allow you to play through a flashback, only for that flashback to turn out to be completely wrong.

The best dungeon

The best piece of music

Best summon: Knights of the Round

2D to 3D is the logical evolution of graphics because technology. FMV too , and was common in a lot of games a that time.

FF 6 has a better soundtrack (in regards to music composition) Chrono trigger has better music too. The sound quality of the of the synthesizers was quite regular in FF7. Xenogears, FF tactics, Suikoden, Wild Arms and Persona have better music and better sound quality.One winged angel was a song that had a great impact at the time. But it doesn't mean that the rest of the soundtrack was brilliant. In general it is quite irregular, with good, mediocre and some bad ones.

- The best dungeon  it's something subjective and personal depending of the player.

- The best piece of music : the same as above

Best summon: Knights of the Round... mmm. I prefer odin. subjective again

I don't want this to sound like I don't like ff7. Earlier I wrote that I played it more than ocarine of time (I am playing it now for 12 times in Xbox One) and I find it more fun than Zelda OOT, but the comparison is referring to which is the best game, and that needs objectivity on the part of all of us, and it is difficult to do it when we have so many memories and nostalgia about what these games meant in their respective times.
At the time, FF7 was the biggest thing I had ever seen in video games. But now so many years later, I must grant Zelda his superiority at the level of gameplay, ambition and innovation.

That does not deny that FF 7 is one of the most important events when it comes to video games.

Sorry for my bad english.
