DoC sucked major ballz, and since most people agree with that, I feel that it is neither.

I feel the same way, except for Crisis Core. Crisis Core was a breath of fresh air for the FF7 Compilation, because it was actually a great, quality game. I completely agree that Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus was utter crap.

Honestly, all I ever wanted was a remake, that's all. =/

As for FF7 itself, it's overrated, and no one can really dispute that. No other game in the Final Fantasy series has ever garnered as much attention from both the fans, and the heads of Square Enix itself. There isn't a single FF fan who doesn't know about FF7, yet there are plenty who aren't at all familiar with the earlier titles. All of the spin-offs really answer the question in this thread the most. For it's time, FF7 was an incredible game...but after ten years of fanboyism and Square Enix continuing to bank on the FF7-cash-cow...it's really lost it's charm.

Final Fantasy 7 is a good game but it is definitely not the best so I'm going to go ahead and say that there is another more worthy Final Fantasy title.

Just because it's a breakthrough for FF in terms of 3D imagery, doesn't mean people cannot stop calling it overrated.

Aye, I think it's overrated. There's other RPG titles and FF games far better then this one.

Well, I do love it, but the way the fan boys go on definaetly makes it scream over rated

And then there are all the spin offs and what not...

It's definaetly not under rated

I believe the original game is not overrated what so ever it's a great game but there are some who just don't like it just because the graphics are crappy, however Advent Children is quite overrated and DoC well I don't think it's a great game really, I liked the original game where you play with all of the party.

I thought it was over-rated until I played it. But it is pretty awesome. And I wouldn't call it over-rated now.

I say under-rated if i'm talking about how people feel about it. I hate any negative critisism this game gets because it's Square's best game, and imo the best game ever made. I hate the way Nintendo fans (mostly Nintendo fans anyway..) say Zelda is better than Final Fantasy 7.

I think it is under-rated and I agree with that statement.

They're both reasonable playable games. It depends on the type of player. Different gamers have different tastes. You can't badmouth a game just because you don't like it.

Except the Bratz/Barbie Doll video games sitting on the shelves, but anywho, don't judge a game from what other people like about it instead of you.

It all depends on if you're asking a fan or not.

But I think it's just fine. With the technology then, the game was impressively done and the storyline is enough to keep playing playing it into the 21st century. If it seems pretty damn popular, it has its reasons. Underrated would only be because people sucked at it or played it too late.

I think its neither. If you ask me final fanta
