Woah... those sales are incredible. People wanted to play better games not just depressing games. The PS1 had a better library than the N64.

FFIX is totally an awesome game but no matter what, I just can't get over the character designs. I can't relate to them. Still, they're not so bad that it hinders my game experience. The story in IX is well done but I definitely enjoyed FFVII and FFVIII more, as well as FFX. In any case, these 4 are definitely the best ones. I refer to them all as the SQUARE GOLDEN AGE. VII started the craze and then peaked with FFX - after that, the game's became weak for me.

FF VII is a masterpiece. FF IX is a masterpiece. FF VIII is a little weird, but it's still great. But seriously, none of these are as good as FF VI. This game is the ultimate Final Fantasy, if not the ultimate JRPG.

Please Square, make FF XV the way a FF is supposed to be: great.

One of the best video games of all time, the battle system is fun , the materia system is great, the addition of the limit gauge makes the battles funnier, the story is so interesting and the characters are likeable, specially Tifa :) The soundtrack is incredible, specially Aerith's song. I don't know why does some people say this game is overrrated, I think it's as good as FFVI/III but FFVII had a bigger impact in the videogames market because thanks to it the RPG genre became more mainstream and the PS1 became the dominant platform.

Nahh, if FFX didn't outsell FFVII then FFXIII won't. FFXIII will sell around 8 million, like VIII and X did. Still awesome numbers. No rpg will ever beat FFVII's sales numbers. It was something huge and different at the time.

This is a terrible game. This is the worst example of "fanboys" praising a crappy game. So many newer Final Fantasy games have better fighting systems/graphics/stories/ etc. I don't understand the obsession. And yes, I've played it so I actually have a valid opinion

My first final fantasy. Is it overrated? Yes. Is it the best? Hell no, but it gives me mad nostalgia, it's a great game and i replay it every once in awhile with the same interest of when i first got it. This game is definitely worth a play for it's sweet story, characters, and game play. For the best final fantasy well that's a definitely number six...

I wasted a whole summer away on this game competing with my friend to see who could beat it first. I remember being at his house and seeing the reactor blow and that sold the game for me. It's still to this day my favorite game, EVER. I still play it about once a year. No FF or game has come close to getting the adoration or giving me the enjoyment that this one did.

Definitely the most overrated in the series, but I guess it was Ok. I would rate it a 7.5-8. I've played better though. Hopefully they make a remake for the people who thinks it is the best in the series, rpg, or game ever. I would be happy because then we don't have to here FFVII REMAKE! everytime SE is about to announce a game. I prefer FFVI, FFIV, FFIX, and X, but I would buy the remake of FFVII just to see how well the game aged.
