Depends on what you mean by overrated. By real gamers, FF7 is by FAR the more overrated of the two. Between frat boys and review rags, Halo 3 probably outscored FF7.

One of FF7's claims to fame is its special effects, like the Star Wars of video games.

That's not why it's over-rated today. Most people complain about the long summons.

Halo's claim to fame is that you can see all the individual blades of grass and leaves on the trees.

No it wasn't. It was the AI and the multiplayer.

FF7 has wacky rpg bosses, Halo has two or three enemies

Well, uh, what are you arguing here? Asian RPGs have crazy enemies, therefore they're awesome? Dude, they're ASIAN. That's
all they do over there.
And in Halo, you're fighting an army of aliens who come from two or three distinct nationalities. Would you play Call of Duty and complain that all of your enemies are human?

FF7 has scenery / Halo takes place in boring mechanical bases

Both games spend the majority of their time outdoors.

FF7 characters have FACES! Master Chief wears a helmet!

You are aware that master chief isn't the only character in Halo, right? You can dismiss two of the idiotic archetypes in FF7 (both of whom are the main characters), but you can't dismiss the guy that you rarely even
see in Halo?
Neither are the best game ever, but FF7 certainly brought less to the table in terms of unique gameplay than the first Halo did. The "7" here is the clue.
Speaking of clues, seek one out.
