that more than likely isnt true about people playing ff7 out of any first .. final fantasy has been around for YEARS before 7 was even talked about , or released .. then came 7 and blew everyone away with how epic it was/is.
o.O im not saying it isnt possible for another final fantasy to maybe be Better in someone elses opinion, but to me and many others 7 is the king.
Most people didn't think about the FF series until 7 was released. Up until that point, the series was an afterthought compared to other RPGs ( the Secret of Mana, Breath of Fire, and Dragon Warrior series, as well as games like Chrono Trigger and Shining Force, saw far more love than FF). FF7 was the first 32-Bit era RPG to really capture audiences with great CGs, quality graphics, and a memorable soundtrack. With that being said, with hindsight, FF7 is overrated as an RPG. Of course, it is subjective, but to me IV, V, VI, VIII, IX, and Tactics have FAR better storylines. I will not hate on the game too much, as I enjoyed parts of it, but I find it hard to make it one of the top-3 RPGs of all time. That would put it ahead of Wild Arms, Xenogears, Chrono Cross/Trigger, Baldur's Gate, Vagrant Story, and other quality RPGs; I cannot see that.
On topic: Enjoy your playthrough
