I don't know why you didn't like VII because, just like millions of others, was the one FF that defined final Fantasy forever. I guess you're one of the few who didn't think the same. It's okay. I like Mango, you like raisins.
I've taken these articles from many reviews, don't claim to write them, yata:
Final Fantasy VII: Through heated debates to calm discussions with members of this fine board, Final Fantasy VII has always seemed to be the one coming out as the overall favorite Final Fantasy. Why? I don’t know, but I can make a good guess. Final Fantasy VII brought word of Final Fantasy to a new generation, ranging from the original stragglers to the 8-bit pimp-hated red mages, to the new comers that awed at the length of Sephiroth’s weapon. (His sword SOM.) Final Fantasy VII has affected more fans worldwide than any Final Fantasy; there is no denying. Although one might say it’s not the best, (Me.) and some say no game ever produced even compares to it, (Fanboys.) it always seem to pop up everywhere.

And a group consisting of a washed up pilot, a one handed Mr. T impersonator, a bartender who has more silicon than flesh, a young flower girl who just happens to be a descendent of former “gods,” a thief ninja, a vampire, an endangered species, and a damn stuffed mog with a toy cat on top.

The fanboyism associated with VII is to such a degree that some people cannot live a day without know that all people that play Final Fantasy VII love it to the fullest extent.
In conclusion, Final Fantasy VII didn’t redefine RPGs, as one might think, but rather added to their meaning, showing that you can make an epic story in a courtyard in a 1500’s castle, or the streets of a slum like, worn down city. No Final Fantasy didn’t change RPGs, but instead influenced them, showing that taking a chance on something could destroy everything you worked for…or bring millions of game sales to you. This attitude is what I think makes Final Fantasy VII so great, and that is why I make it, my 3rd favorite Final Fantasy, with an overall score of 8.5/10.
Red XIII: This guy's ok. He's like the Beast from the X-Men. He seems like nothing but a savage wild animal at first, but in reality he has the wisdom and (probably) voice of a philosopher.
Cait Sith: This guy is like an Adam Sandler movie. An Adam Sandler movie starts out stupidly funny, but there's eventually some depth. This guy's a CAT riding a dancing pink creature, but during the course of the game, he shows some touching depth.
Now for the bottom of the bag. I'll start with the guys.
Cloud: There's no shame in therapy...If you're lucky, you'll find a good psychiatrist. And if you're REALLY lucky, he'll know of a top-notch hairdresser. It's not too late to rescue that blond mess. Then you'll be in the same league as Squall, Zidane, and Tidus. You're also a burden on your friends. You drive Barret up the wall, run Tifa ragged trying to figure you out, and lead Aeris to her death. What a poor excuse for a Final Fantasy hero.
Barret: This guy is ok, but I found him hard to like. I think it's the mood swings. One minute, he's a short-tempered, macho jerk, the next he's a tragic hero who'd do anything for his daughter, and back again.
Cid: Two words...Anger management. WHat the hell'd that woman ever do to you? I think her name's Shera. Your kids will end up in juvenille hall, just watch. You make Barret look calm as a pond.
Now for the absolute bottom, the crap of the pyramid: the women, the sterotypical women. I'm an avid tomboy, so maybe that influenced my negative opinions of them.
Yuffie: Know those annoying little pop-ups that always come up while you're surfing the Net? Yuffie is basically an annoying little pop-up. After I was done with the game, I regretted recruiting her.
Tifa: Tifa=SLUT. I won't go any further.
Aeris: Aeris=WIMP, SISSY, WUSS. Take your pick. She never once tried to resist Sephiroth, neither verbally nor physically. She makes Yuna look like a strong warrior, and that's saying quite a lot. Forgive me, Aeris fans who were near tears when she died, but I just don't like her. Again, wimp, sissy, wuss.

Lastly, I was larely disappointed with the female cast of Final Fantasy 7, but of course, the only good females are the ones with big boobs, and who sell you flowers, right?
Cloud (in ff7, we'll see how he acts in these sequals) Was a total dumbass with no motivation for his sh*t whatsoever. After playing the game over a dozen times now, I still don't feel sorry for him. =D
