Final Fantasy 7 - I fell for the hype and was shocked that so many people were buying it. I was a geeky enough gamer to tackle a JRPG but most of the people buying it were more into FIFA, ISS and Actua Soccer than proper games. Everyone I knew bought it and nobody played it beyond the first disc. Not sure where the love for it comes from. I'd rather play any of the other SNES Square RPGs than FF7. The FMV loading made the game unplayable to me.
I only posted this to get my avatar as the forum's thumbnail.
