Is FF7 only "amazing" due to nostalgia?

Not OP, but...
>Let's go after Sephiroth! Why? Uhm, he is probably up to no good? No I am totally not being manipulated to follow him or anything. Dudes and dudettes trust me! Yeah even you Tifa who looks at me super doubtful about my story just now! And let's also ignore the Kalm, Corel, and Niebelheim reactor we pass by instead of bombing them as we usually do, especially the last one after learning how much damage they do from Cosmo Canyon!
>Oh look Hojo sits there defenseless. Kill him? Nah it'd be against good manners to kill one of our dangerous foes while he is enjoying vacation! Totally won't come back to bite us!
>Hey we just beat up that bald Turk. Kill him and be rid off him forever? Nah let's just let him lie unconscious here instead of finishing him off, we only kill off non-named characters!
>Cloud suddenly and completely out of nowhere learned some kind of ghost magic to follow Sephiroth into the livestream to finish him off - wow another KH-kind of convoluted Nomura writ- I mean IT'S KINO, yea TOTALLY KINO, YEAH!
People forget that FFVII certainly has some flaws that are overlooked due to nostalgia.

You might be paid to make these threads but I'm not gonna change my mind about VII-2.
Jacob Cook
For me it was always about the characters and music than the overall plot of the game. There really hadn't been a protagonist as well written as Cloud before or even after imo.
Isaac Barnes
>Why? Uhm, he is probably up to no good?
He talks directly of the Promised Land and ruling the Planet
>wow another KH-kind of convoluted Nomura writ- I mean IT'S KINO, yea TOTALLY KINO, YEAH!
Oh, you're just another fag trying to defend the remake, never mind the rest then
Thomas Price
That’s pretty nit picky. The overall story is good.
Logan Gutierrez
>. There really hadn't been a protagonist as well written as Cloud before or even after imo.
lol. He has no personality of his own.
Daniel Cox
Cloud's story is legit good.
Music is very good.
The gameplay is just normal JRPG trash.
People thought it of it as a religious experience at the time because the fully rendered stuff was very good, the in-battle graphics and effects were new and cool (e.g. using a summon like Bahamut was jaw dropping in 1997), and because it was heavily, heavily advertised in ways we'd never seen before, like during movie trailers in the theater, which made it feel like it transcended gaming.
I would never find fault in some zoomer getting nothing out of it.

7 defined a whole generation when it came out and now does it again.
6 never did any of that and will always be the retarded cousin game.
Leo Hughes
you're looking at it through the lens of 2020, a lot of what it did was a first, or at least the first of it's kind to hit massively.
And because of that everything it did right has been done again elsewhere, so it will feel stale and uninspired where in 1997 it was something entirely new and different.
