It's not about having perfect graphics. It's about stylized graphics. When EQ2 and WoW came out I 100% hated the realistic graphics of EQ2. Everything was so perfect it felt fake. I couldn't play the game cause the graphics were so distracting. On the other hand WoW's graphics had character. I loved the art style behind it. Now SOE is trying to go that route with EQNext. No more life like graphics. I am actually liking their art style.

Back on track, FFXIV has a mix of both. However, the copy/paste of the textures on things makes it extremely distracting. I notice patterns extremely quickly and I focus on them. That's what happens in FFXIV with the same 10x10 textures.
