Oh, and what makes a good FF game (VI, IX, IV, V) is:

Engaging plot, interesting characters with lots of character development, a fantasy setting, and great music.

What makes a crappy FF game (FFVII, FFVIII, FFX, FFXII) is:

Flashy graphics, dull (or poorly translated) plot, high production values, a sci-fi setting (X and XII excluded from this complaint), and awful characters and character development.

All else held constant, why do flashy graphics make a crappy FF game?

Why do they inherently make the game worse?


The focus on them causes the rest of the problems?


 

How much have we heard about the FFXIII story?  Nothing?

How much have we heard about the main character?  It's Cloud but a chick.

How much have we seen about the graphics?  Everything they show is about the graphics. 


Also I never said that graphics alone are a bad thing.  I said it's part of what defines a bad FF game.  If graphics were bad, then FFIX wouldn't be on my list of good games.  It's on my list of good games because it has everything that defines a good FF game. Similarly, the bad FF games have all of those things (except for Sci-Fi in X and XII). Truthfully though the graphics complain itself could probably be removed, as that's just a problem with the developers who focus so much on them.
