Hi!
Well, it depends on how you define "overrate", since there are various ways to rate the game.

If we look at the game sales, FF7 is the very best of the series.

1. FF7: 10m worldwide, of which 3.3m in Japan.
2. FF8: 8.6m worldwide, of which 3.7m in Japan
3. FF10: 6.2m worldwide, of which 2.5m in Japan
4. FF13: 5.6m worldwide, of which 1.9m in Japan
5. FF9: 5.4m worldwide, of which 2.8m in Japan
6. FF12: 5.1m worldwide, of which 2.4m in Japan
7. FF6: 3.4m worldwide, of which 2.6m in Japan
8. FF5: 2.6m worldwide, of which 2.4m in Japan
9. FF4: 1.4m in Japan
10. FF3: 1.4m in Japan
11. FF2: 0.8m in Japan
12. FF1: 0.5m in Japan

If we mention game reviews and metascores, it's true that FF7 has been highly praised by the western game communities. As you see the numbers above, FF7 and subsequent titles are mainly sold overseas. It seems like they started having a passion for the series from FF7.
If we think of social influence on the Japanese game market, FF7 was possibly the most influential game after Mario and Zelda. FF7, along with other popular PS games, put an end to Nintendo's dominance in the game industry (If I remember correctly, SNES had a 80%+ share of the domestic market in early 90s'), and then Japanese game industry entered the era of fierce competition between Nintendo, Sony, Sega and others.
If you talk about a taste in game, I must say each has their own. My personal preference is FF5 > 6 > 7 > 4 > 9.

Ok...First let me say thank you you took the time to think about it and you took the time to answer.Well...I dont give a damn about reviews,metascore or influence....Yea i know back in the 90´s FF7 was awesome ( compared to earlier ff games...) But i think it aged horribly...I played it first around 2002 or such and i couldn´t understand whats so super special since there were so many better games at that time...Still i understand it was awesome for those who played it when released....FF 8/9 were better games.Just IMHO....

Oh, I see. You were talking about your impression of FF7.
I find ppl asking similar questions on Japanese forum from time to time.

FF7って当時どれぐらいすごかったの？(How awesome was FF7 at the time?)
FF7の凄さはリアルタイムでやってた奴しかわからないという風潮(Only those who played FF7 in its day understand how great it is)

I think you have a point. Although FF7 was an epoch-making game, maybe it wasn't so special in graphics and the evolution was done from SNES standard and its awesomeness can't be distinguished from others once it becomes a new standard.
If I play Atari's Pong, I will have no clue how great it was in its day lol.

Well that Pong analogy is lol....Aerith´s death was a wow moment and maybe the only reason to play FF7 ( as everyone was talking about back then....) FF3/6,Chrono Trigger were better games....and classics still worth to be played today.FF7 is just for those who enjoyed it back in the days...No one today cares about.With FF8/9,Dragon Warrior,Valkyrie Profile,Xenogears,Later on the PS2 Ico,Shadow of the Colossus,FF 10,11,12 Dragon quest 7 just to name a few... Who really cares about FF7 ? Classic...yes.Still great today....NO !.
