Actually I think Tactics has the best storyline of any FF. I don't much care for VII's story because it's so convoluted and has plot holes. And just to let ya know, I'm not a newcomer to the series

Methinks I'll never finish 'em  I don't have as much time or interest anymore  |
Well let me absolve some of your guilt by letting you know XII is hardly worth finishing. You can put it off till last.

Anyway, what has always drawn me to FFVII are the characters. For me, characters are always the most important aspect of a game. If a character is developed well and has a good backstory, then I really enjoy the game. FFVII had some of the best character development I've seen in a game.
Also, the music is without a doubt amazing. I love listening to the soundtrack over and over again! Good music keeps my attention longer 
|
Some of the character development I find lacking though...I really wish they'd done more with Red, he was probably my favorite party member :/
Music is definitely win. Right now I'm climbing up through the Shinra tower, music suits it well...AND I finally figured out how to get all three items in that one room with all the doors. Totally missed the air vent in my last two files

Hahaha I still have to consult the guide for those stupid vents I always get so confused 
I absolutely adore the soundtrack for VII. It's just made of complete win from start to end. Everytime I hear it pop up on random on my pc it just makes me want to play the game again
I actually think the character development was quite good tho, maybe one or 2 characters could have hada little more like Yuffie and as you said Red, but I think the others were all pretty nifty imo

I only started playing from VII but I wouldn't consider myself a newcomer to the series and I happen to think X has a good storyline. Just because it's a newer game doesn't make it crap. it's one of my favourites

It's the characters and storyline that usually bring me back to the game. I can't tell you how many times I've played VII over the years. I'm not even going to try. Hell, it's pretty much everything for me. The world, the characters, etc. I like going back to it and playing through it all again. I'll probably start a new game pretty soon! After finishing up Crisis Core, that is. I can't do this with many games. There are some I just can only play through once and then I'm done!

Mainly for me it's the story and the characters. You enver completely understand everything the first time through a game, so each time I go through it again I pick up on something I missed that tends to fill in a loop-hole that I didn't overlooked previously.

The story and characters and the world. I loved the world in FFVII, I would spend hours just randomly roaming islands and go to little towns and places to level up and explore.
And the storyline is the best in the series In my opinion. So deep and engrossing. The characters were great aswell, with lots of memorable ones. In fact, I think all of the characters are memorable in their own ways in FFVII, which is a feat I think has been lost in the more recent games.

All of them to be honest, but I had to go for nostalgia, because it reminds me of my childhood and brings back lots of memories.

I probably have an emotional attachment to this game. It was the first game that I ever beat...I would invite my cousin to stay the night just so I could watch him play it.
I still play it to this day too!
I think what kept it going for me was that the characters develop so well throughout the story, and the game play is simply amazing.

FFVII?
The reason why I play it from time to time is because of Sephiroth. Really.
Especially when you're fighting him... and when he kills Aerith...
