Were the original on PSP, and Final Fantasy II & III (4 & 6) on the SNES. When 7 came along, they became too obsessive about making you find "secrets" just in order to beat the game.
uwot
the games were still linear, what secrets do you mean that you had to look for?
if you're talking about the strongest spells, weapons, etc, which are indeed well hidden (thankfully, as sidequests and "treasure hunts" were what made these games last longer), then you're wrong about you needing to find them in order to beat the game... the games are easy enough to be beaten without amazing gear, stats or magic.
also, FFVI has a lot of "hidden" espers and godly weapons/armors, and it functions very much like VII in many ways, so I'm not sure what your problem is...
