I miss that aesthetic too, it let them fill in interiors with a lot of messy fantasy clutter, which I actually really enjoy the style of. Lots of knickknacks all over the shelves n stuff. If they ever remade Digimon World 1, Digimon World 3, or even FF9, they might miss out on some of that charm
FF9's visuals have aged beautifully
I'm referring in particular to the pre-rendered backgrounds.
Despite the games having limited space. Hiroyuki Ito and the rest of the team managed to make an open world experience that feels like a living breathing world full of life and mysteries.

I think on this cool fall day like today, I'd pick Besaid and find a cozy spot on the beach to kick around a blitzball.
Fantasian uses real-world hand-crafted dioramas that they photographed and used for the environments. It feels like a lived in experience.
