Oh please. FF7 field models are previous FF 2D sprites transformed to 3D. They're very expressive. They represent the characters. They have tons of animations. I love them.

This pic is sort of interesting since it is a "what if the field models were more detailed?" test. As you can see, it really doesn't make much difference. The camera is so far away you can't make much detail out. The super deformed models are mostly as good. They have just the right amount of detail as needed. They're certainly way better than FF8's models.

Overall, FF7 and other 2D-3D mix games are gorgeous. The real issue is how to handle the mix of HD models, and low definition 2D backgrounds. I use a CRT monitor or TV at 480p. The backgrounds look so sharp and so good. Just can't get that on my 1080p LED.

Now for other games? They're all over the place. Some look hideous, some look great. They were just figuring out how to do 3D, and the consoles were a little too weak to do really detailed 3D.
