Well I think FF7 is the best. Once you get used to the graphics or like me started playing it when 3D was new
Its a great game. The storyline of FF7 and each characters storyline made it an epic. Sephiroth really set the bar high for evil characters.
How many people do you think he killed just in the Shinra tower right at the very begining? And of course the music.
I judge FFs on Storylines, Characters, gameplay, music ,and then graphics.
FF2 was just bad in almost all of those.
