I understand enjoying stylised graphics. I like them, too. There are games instantly recognizeable thanks to their art style like Darkest Dungeon. I even understand the argument that style is more important than realism now because Unreal Engine 5 makes it so anyone can have nigh-photorealistic characters. HOWEVER, FFXIV doesn't really look realistic. It's very anime-esque, especially some of the faces and emotes.
