Well, VII has many factors that tend to "buy" fans. The anime-like storyline (especially in the video scenes, which are very few). The silent main character, which makes him look tough and "cool". The also "cool" bad guy, as you know, most VII fans are hopelessly devoted to Sephiroth. We could say many things, and I myself like VII, but I don't think it's THAT great. One example of VII being over-commercial are Tifa's big boobs, I mean, come on, not even a pregnant big woman gets them that size.

My favorite FF is IX, I just loved the story, the comical relief, the character's personality, the fantastic OST, everything.

Unfortunately, VII came with a disease. Those who play it and become fanboys, tend to despise other Final Fantasies just for being different than VII. In other words, they become very closed of mind. My opinion: we should mercilessly and painfully kill them all.
