FFVII's annoying system? You mean Materia(I could semi-agree on that, I never cared for the Materia system, especially the penalties certain materia come with)? I think most of everything in FFVII is superior to Legend of Dragoon(with the exception of the CG movies). Battles are faster, characters are more fluid and less clanky, pre-rendered backgrounds look better, translation isn't as bland(though also isn't without it's mistakes) and exploration isn't a chore. I think all the PS1 FF games are superior to Legend of Dragoon(even FFVIII, which I HATE with a passion).
I've recently started another game of Legend of Dragoon(PS1 CD), and I've been meaning to get back to it. I've never passed it. The first time I played, I got so bored, I stopped playing at a certain town. Lo and behold, it's the same exact town I'm at now. Though, I think I'll try and finish it(grit my teeth and go at it), but right now, I've got Xenoblade Chronicles taking up my gaming time.
