I played it once through and gave it its proper chance because I've always enjoyed its soundtrack, but it's too easy to whore out any character with Materia and make them godlike. I dislike newer FF games that only allow you to use three superpowered characters, as opposed to four slightly weaker characters (unless you overlevel). I don't know why; I like FFIV's idea of five characters best, and I'm OK with the four characters that the other pre-FFVII games give you.

I'm also not a terribly huge fan of its story. I feel like "Oh no, genetic experimentation and pollution are bad!" has been way overused in sci-fi settings, which is what FFVII really is if you think about it. I guess it was kind of a unique turn for the series, but I didn't enjoy it that much. It warranted one play-through (mostly because I wanted to hear what the final boss battle was, but I was sorely disappointed; Bizarro Sephiroth has a much cooler theme song), but nothing more than that.
