Just enjoy it.

Really, it's an easy game to get into, and there's never a point where you’re punished for making a wrong choice earlier in the game.

Give Tifa the flower.

You don't really have to grind at any point. Don't get hung up on being ready to fight the optional superbosses - there's really no benefit to doing so, and they don't further the plot in any way.

Don’t have Vincent in your party going into Nibel Mountain. Just, don't.

Steal from everyone. Again, it's not remotely necessary, but you can get decent weapons early by doing this.

You may want to contextualise it a bit. It's debatable how well it’s aged - I think well, others don't - but have a look at the games that were out in 1997. FF7 represented a huge leap in what we expected from games, in tone, scope, storytelling and presentation. It was either the killer app or the coronation of the PS1 as the winner of that gen, you’ll definitely enjoy it more by checking out what else was on offer at the time.
