Final Fantasy IV was an incredibly deep, involving storyline. The characters were very deep, very well realized, and overall it was an amazing game. But there's the simple fact that a great deal of people cant be bothered with games that dont have amazing graphics. The early FF's were all amazing, but of course their graphics dont measure up to today's. But what should that matter? Games are not about eyecandy. I'd rather play a game with crappy graphics and an amazing storyline than great graphics and nothing more. Just like with people you meet... a pretty face is great, but it's nothing when there's no substance behind it.
