>This game IMO killed RPGs.

Final Fantasy VIII did that job very well. Don't give Chrono Cross the honor.
>Punishes the player for getting exp
>Story falls apart half-way through
>Doesn't let you know about "the point of no return"
>Can't raise chocobos without a special tomagachi memory card (1-bit graphics)
>The card minigame is more fun that the actual gameplay
>All the main characters came from the same orphanage
>Popularized the high school setting for most RPG's (Persona, Valkyria Chonicles 2, etc.)
>Obviously rushed out to compete with the Dreamcast launch (came out on the same day)

Am I missing anything?

For me, personally, it's after FF7 when Square (and JRPG's in general) start to become hit-or-miss with their games and I'd rather point the finger at FF8. There's only two things wrong with FF7; the highly vocal, retarded section of its fanbase, and the shitty sequels/prequels that never should have been made.
