Man, I loved those polygonal characters. <3 And I really love the design for the remakes of Final Fantasy for DS. I guess it's just the aesthetic that I prefer. I mean, I was pretty wowed by the graphics in FFX. But since then there hasn't been much of an evolution or development in style. Like I said in my previous post, it's just the same ol' same ol' only a little prettier.
Sometimes, it is better to be unrealistic under the pretense of the art style of the game. I like the graphical style of the Final Fantasy series and its moves towards realism because they will, eventually, reach a point where the line between fantasy and reality is blurred as technology continues to develop.

I was not a fan of the graphics of Final Fantasy VII even at the time of its release because I had trouble understanding what certain people were doing in the cutscenes besides the full motion videos.
