The story is interesting, mysterious and features characters unlike most other RPGs who feature more generic, cliche type characters.
I, for one, loved the gameplay. The materia system goes much much deeper than you might think theb first time you play through. Unfortunately, not many people explored the many different strategies and materia combinations simply because the game is far too easy (something almost every game suffers from these days, even The Way).
And you can't deny FF7 has some of THE BEST video game music ever composed.
Having said that, there are also things FF7 misses to make it a truly perfect game, but I fail to come up with any at this time.
My favorite video game ever is Xenosaga Episode 1. It resembles The Way in many ways and has captivated since I started playing it. That's a game I call perfect (or as perfect as something human-made can be).
Please don't flame me for my opinion, even though I seem to be in the minority concerning FF7.
And yes, I cried when Aeris died.
I cried too, I went outside to put garbage out so my mom and dad wouldn't see me crying
