10 Video Games You Only Like Because Everyone Else Does

Final Fantasy VII is the crown jewel in the legendary franchise, considered to be the one game in the series that even non-fans adore - yet it doesn't really deserve its position in history.

The franchise is a pretty impenetrable series to just pick up, and its repetitive and frustrating turn-based gameplay often causes more harm than good when it comes to its mass appeal. This is especially relevant to VII, which has a weak combat system when compared to some of the follow-ups to this "seminal" title.

So while the narrative and world design is particularly strong, I'm not entirely sure why the seventh main entry in the series has gained such a mythical status over some of its equally impressive - and in many ways even better - sequels.

But once again it's probably because VII's reputation has gown larger than the game ever was, allowing the title to take a place in pop culture history as one of the greatest RPGs of all time. And while it's definitely a strong entry in the series overall, there's a good chance that you only like Final Fantasy VII because you've been told how much of a masterpiece it is
