X is my favorite, and then VI.

X is in my top 3, if not my favorite.
I'm always shocked when people talk about 7 like it's perfect and it's still amazing to play today. I tried to play through it again like 2-3 years ago and I could only get like 5 hours in.
I don't care about graphics in my games, but the way they designed the game has some serious problems. There are massive difficulty spikes seemingly out of nowhere (that one scorpion boss on neibelung mountain was one no-name boss that was one of the hardest fights in the game), who you use didn't matter for story or combat (since materia is what really determines the power of your team), no matter what you do you have pretty much the same party archetype (an attack oriented char, a supportive/magical type char, and a mulligan char), there isn't really anything to the plot beyond "chase Sephiroth" and the reasons for that are pretty ambiguous in the beginning of the game.
I would rather sit down and play any final fantasy (except 2, 11, 13, or 14) than 7. It was an amazing game for its time and still a pretty good game for ~10 years after that...but after playing games that are as good as they are today? I think not.
FF7 is the most overhyped game of all time. Not overhyped in terms of how important it was to shaping the genre, because it was a revolution, but overhyped in absolute terms of how good it is. I'm not sure if it's because of nostalgia-fueled fanboyism or for gamer-peen, but when you argue that ff7, in absolute terms is better than ff9 or ff10, games that in my opinion are superior in EVERY way except perhaps in the effects it had on the genre, then I'm afraid I disagree with you, good sir.
GOOD DAY!

Well I'll be playing it. FFX is my second favourite after FFVIII.
I can't stand FFVII mainly because of "OMG FF7 is leik teh most awesomest game ever and I leik want 2 have sexes with all the characters becauz they r TEH BEST EVA + al teh other FFs r shit + so r teh ppl who play dem! Remake it, remake it remake it, remake it!" Faggotted fandom and over-milking killed that game for me years ago. =_=

I personally think that the older games are usually better. Nowaday games I can finish in 1-3 hours on the highest difficulty. Also level designs are sometimes really bad (like getting lost). In older games they created the levels in such a way that you almost don't get lost at all. It's really noticeable. Or all those 'invisible walls' at spots where they forgot that the player can reach. Also the amount of bugs increased drastically in modern games compared to older games. But hey, now they can just patch. In the old days they couldn't patch as most people didn't use the internet or not much.
I have this feeling that they make games easier to beat so a broader range of people are willing to play it. It really saddens me.

How old are you to notice it now ?

I played my first (PC) game on those black/white screens about 21-22 years ago. I believe it was 1990-1991 somewhere. I'm not counting the Atari and consoles. I think my first online game was Netstorm or Diablo I. I think it was Netstorm tough as I did not have a legal copy of Diablo I at first. And yes piracy does go all the way back to the pre-internet era :). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_(CD-ROM))
And before that trading floppy's at school. It's just that those things went corrupt all the time... The teachers didn't really know what it was anyway.
