It was a toss-up at the time but I'd argue FF7 has aged much more gracefully. Sure, you've still got the Lego figures and messy navigation on pre-rendered backdrops, but the battles still feel snappy and dynamic even with the low framerate. It isn't a slog like FF8 and especially FF9 turned out to be when they started pushing the hardware.

Ocarina, meanwhile, has full-on 3D camera jank.
