Completely disagree. FF7 is a game with some growing pains as a result of being the first in the series to be 3d, but despite that it is one of the best examples of its genre and era. Its got a diverse cast, good gameplay, the materia system remains one of the most iconic methods of character customization ever in a game, and the story revolves around still-relevant themes of environmentalism, capitalism, and identity.
The main thing holding the game back isn't even the fact that it's kinda 3d but not really, it's the fact that it was translated by a Japanese guy with a huge spreadsheet and a line of cocaine, leading to some story details getting lost in all of the translated versions.
