7 is quite possibly the most popular game there is to be a hipster about. It sold out, it was never any good to begin with, blah blah blah. Overrated. You hear all this shit.
It's wrong. The game is an all time classic that changed the industry forever. Yeah, no shit it looks rough these days without realizing that it was literally the best looking game on the planet when released. No other game got a marketing push like it until Halo 3 either. This shit was all over MTV and other places in the key advertising demos that entire summer. You know all those other JRPGS that came out after that were supposedly much better? They were only localized because FF 7 did so well.
FF 7 is the Hulk Hogan of RPGs.
