I've never really heard much negativity about FFVII, but am tired of so many people refering to it as 'the best game ever' and referencing it as a positive when trashing all previous FF's. Particularly, I don't think the story was very good, particularly in execution. And the ebonics was just racist, not street hip poppin' fresh cool yo'.
The only way I can see someone trashing the NES is if they hate old systems in general. I prefer the SMS and it's games, but that doesn't take anything away from the NES for me.
