FF VII hate?

I never understood why people hate FF VII, honestly. It seems that the majority of people who have some unfathomable dislike for the game just hate it for the fact that it's so popular, which makes no sense to me. I wasn't trying to start an argument or anything; the limited edition system looks cool, and I'm a fan of the game so I thought I'd share it with the board.

I don't understand it either. Even if you think the game is overrated, or you don't like it, you should at least be able to see that it's a good game(production, music, gameplay) in general, and to people who enjoy turn based RPGs. If people disklike it because it is popular, then something about the way people determine how a game can be good or bad is seriously wrong.

Sure, it's not groundbreaking. And sure you can baww over how it's not as good as a game made AFTER it. But it's still a good, solid game. Most people probably bitch about the localization, or how the characters don't look good. But seriously, can you expect beautiful graphics and absolutely polished gameplay for a series first foray into a new console?

It's like people who bitch about FFX or some other near-launch ps2 title. They just don't always come out the way you expect.

I like FFVII myself, it wasn't my first Final Fantasy, it was my fourth.
