FF7 is obviously very popular, but why it is differs from person to person. Here's a brief summary of the reasons various people may like FF7:
-Fanboy/fangirlism. This is kinda sad... how a great game is flooded by fans who know nothing more about it than OMYGOHDSEFAROTHISTEHSECKS!!!1!2. These people are also the main cause of the game's anti-fanbase.
-Novelism. FF7, as some people have already said, was simply the first in a lot of things.
-Playability. It's a game easy enough for beginners, but complex enough for experts (The materia system was genius).
-Storyline/presentation. This is the game's true shine and all-too-often overshadowed by the raving fanmasses who don't even understand the game they love. The storyline is very complex, moreso that most people who've finished the whole game even grasp. This is because, unlike so many of today's games, FF7 did not tell you everything upfront and outright. There's so much of the story hidden beneath the surface, a story that was already complex and novel. This leads to speculation by fans, and that's what really keeps a game going after it gets old. 10 years later, it's still going strong. Finally, the way the story was presented was A+ work. Highly epic and yet held a very real feeling. Music, visuals, everything worked together perfectly. In-battle events and special unique abilities by enemies are a great touch. Extremely rare is it for a game to connect so well with players on such personal and emotion levels. People cried when Aerith dies, some still do. To this day there are people who refuse to believe there's no way to bring her back, or that she was never meant to come back.
Incredible depth, memorable characters, places, events and diologue, innovation, and immersion are why the game is really so great.

Yup, and I'd be very interested to know what the percentages are for who-likes-it-why.
