I don't really see the attraction of FF4. It was good when it came out, but for me it pales in comparison to the new FF games now. It has no character customisation whatsoever, the story isn't the best (although admittedly, not many game stories are, even FF stories), and it has very few sidequests. The only things going for it are decent characters and great music, but all the newer FF games have characters that are just as good, if not better (with the exception of characters like Vaan and Penelo), and it is the same with the music (except maybe in FFXII).
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, of course, but those are just my thoughts on it.
And no, I don't agree with your assessment of FF7 fans either. FF7 was the first game for a lot of FF fans, so nostalgia probably plays a part. It probably even plays a part for you too. Was FF4 your first FF game by any chance (excluding the FF games that are usually considered the worst, like FF2)? I'll give you the first point though. There is a good possibility that a lot of FF fans haven't played the earlier FF games.
Now on to what is probably the main reason. Maybe they genuinely do like FF7? Is that such a hard thing to believe?
