I'm with everyone who said it is rated just as it should be. The characters were great, the storyline was fantastic, the graphics were amazing, not so much anymore, and the materia system is still my favorite skill system of all time. Oh, of course there is the music, just with any FF.

I really wouldn't say it was either. I think it is rated rather well. Tons of people love the game, it is one of Squar's most famous titles and best titles. From what Ive seen Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 6 seem to be very popular.
Myself I love FF6.
Ive also noticed ((and this is not true for everyone I know this)) that there where a lot of gamers that age wise got their gaming start on the Play Station. So it is natural that their favorite FF game would be 7. For two reasons, ONE: It is the first one they played which always leaves a sentimental value imprinted on you. TWO: Because it turned out to actually be one Hell of a great game. One of the best of all time.
But Ive seen polls where FF6 and 7 are always One and Two, which tells me that it seems to be rated pretty much right.
I always thought FF9 was underrated because I just love the look and feel of the game plus I love the old school feel of it. Im not into these newer FFs as much with their Surfer Boy heros.
I like the look and feel of 6-7-9 much better.

I think FFVII has ran it's course long enough. It's getting to be too overrated for me. It's was the only Final Fantasy game to get a prequel and a sequel game plus it's had 2 movies that led to the events of FFVII (Last Order and Advent Children). Don't get me wrong... it was a great game 11 years ago when I actually enjoyed the series but now it's just bores me to death hearing about FFVII still.

FFVII was neither overrated nor underrated in my opinion, the unpalatable truth of the matter is, that FFVII is a work of staggering genius and it deserves every ounce of hype that many people have consistently given it over the years. Let’s start with the story, shall we? FFVII’s story was genuinely heart-touching; furthermore, the characters were great; Sephiroth particularly was such an awesome villain. Furthermore, the scale of the game was mind boggling too. Also, the number of combinations you could use with Materia was virtually unlimited. FFVII still holds up as arguably the greatest games ever made and it thoroughly deserves all the hype it has received.

Considering that it has it's own franchise and very minor characters now have their own games... I'd say it's overrated. The game on it's own was very good. But it's recently just become a sellout.
FF7 before AC was neither over or underrated
FF7 after AC is very overrated.
But perhaps overrated isn't the right word. Maybe annoying is more like it.
Yes 
The game on it's own was very good. But it's recently just become a sellout.
