Like so many people on here, Final Fantasy VII was the first FF game i ever played and is perhaps the most memorable to me because it was the game that introduced me into the world of JRPG's. Granted, like some people have pointed out, it is flawed like many other games but for a lot of us it was a new and exciting experience - one that we never would have imagined.
A lot of the older veteran fans tend to bash VII as breaking away from the traditional magic and crystal elements that have been prevalent in the earlier games, and i respect their opinion. I suppose it's just a matter of objectivity and perspective.
Of course, regardless of one's opinion on the game, i do believe there is one thing we can all agree on - the game brought the Final Fantasy series into mainstream culture with its high sales. Whether people love it or hate it, it's an undeniable fact.
