I stopped liking Disney at the age of 7. Grow up and develop some taste.

It's the other way around.

FF7 kinda bored me, FF8 had great characters that you actually cared what happened to them. KHs is great! The story was fun and it was great seeing disney and FF characters together.
As to your FF8 lovin', people aren't just stupid, they want a game that's easy to play, and easy to understand. This is the main reason FF7 is so much better, and also FF7 has the best story of any Square game.
As for Kingdom Hearts, it rocked! I'm not a fan of real time battles but they turned out really well, can't wait for sequel!
I don't see why people are complaining so much, X and X-2 weren't *that* bad, I liked the more modern, 'colourful' approach and (more in FFX-2) the different style (in terms of music and characters, even if plot was a little lame). The Sphere Grid also made things a little more interesting, and allowed for more extravagant bosses because you could reach such high stats (like Penance / Dark Aeons).
Personally, I don't see the hype about 7. It's a great game, but 8 struck more of a chord with me. Same with 4,5 and 6. They are all really good games, but I guess I'd already experienced the graphically better FF's (7,8,9 and onward) and going backwards seemed that the games were actually worse.
However, I would think different if I'd played the earlier ones first (probably).
My order of pref : 8,7,9,10,6,10-2 (though it's pretty close between most of them).
dakarus joe, bullett, finalfantasyfanatic and more in this thread think:
It all went downhill after 7.
i hated 7, just everything about it.
