Great visuals is not really an excuse. Optimisation is about making the most of out the given hardware and delivering a great experience. If poor performance negatively effects people's experience then the game isn't that well optimised for the platform.
But that is where it becomes completely subjective. Some people demand 60fps, many are comfortable with 30fps as long as its solid, some don't mind minor, occasional dipping. Others have even lower standards (yourself maybe). I've personally played a lot of games with dodgy frame rates and haven't minded much (Elderscrolls Oblivion), but then I play a game with screen tearing and absolutely despise it.
Haven't played the latest FF demo, so I can't give you my own personal take but considering its more or less an action RPG now, I imagine a framerate dropping as low as 15fps is not that acceptable. Point is, its for each and every person to judge on their own.
