The one who brought it up was you -.-
I tried to explain it to you twice now, I guess I'm just bad at it.

Also correct me if I'm wrong since I'm not a game designer, but im pretty sure it's a "graphics" unit that processes all these things, not an aesthetics unit.
Yes. It still doesn't change the fact that what you see as "graphics" is composed from different components, one of them being graphic quality (=what is better in FFXIV), design consistency/quality (=aesthetics=what is better in Aion) and engine optimization (=what makes NPCs appear faster and the camera lag less)
