Final Fantasy 7 had perfect music for the atmosphere and a grungy story that kicked the shit out of all the other games. Period.
How can you say these people are underdeveloped with all the delving into their past that's been done? You have to explore the game to know the characters, but the information is there.
Vincent, yes. And, if you call that annoying little excursion in which Cloud finds out a life's lie "character development", then yes. They were fully developed.
Regardless, I guess that part is a matter of opinion. I think Cloud was a lame, two-dimensional character that was flimsier than a communion wafer. Sephiroth had no character development whatsoever. It was just one big coagulation of cool guys running around with huge swords, and somehow beating the guys with guns. Neat, yes, but certainly not one of the best games of all time.
And if FFVII deserves mention for its innovation of the video game, let's journey back to Super Mario 64.
