Animation Lock: Why don't you like it?

But Final Fantasy is a series built on Aesthetics. It's what draws players into the franchise and keeps them coming back.

I'm sorry but this is a load of crap. Final Fantasy is a series based on good storylines- Not aesthetics. And regardless of what you think the series is "based on", there is no good reason to compromise gameplay for the sake of asthetics. I'm playing the game because it's a fun game, not just because it's pretty to look at.

Did anyone like Final Fantasy 1/2/3 because of good graphics? No. The graphics were pretty lame even for the NES days. It wasn't until the more recent games that good graphics even came into the picture. To argue that the series as a whole was based on that as a principle is ridiculous.

Seriously, you people arguing aesthetics. Do you really play FF games just because they have good graphics?
