Oh, good. I'm perfectly normal, then.

But why do I still like the old Final Fantasies?

   Nostalgia. I still enjoy playing old Sonic games for the same reason, whilst there is no chance I'd touch a new one. However children do like them.

So then why did we all enjoy the early Final Fantasy games and early Sonic games in the early 90's?

I thought they were good games then and are good games now.  I don't know how games "go bad."

 

Like Kasz pointed out, earlier FF games had older characters.  They also had more mature themes.  They've slowly turned away from the older nerdier RPG crowd to the teen anime crowd.  Just look at the hairdos.

Yeah... the concept art for the earlier Final Fantasys are wacky... but they're more 80's hairband wacky.
