Because if it is you'd have to compare it to other mmorpgs . Only example would be final fantsy . And compared to that these graphics are good . If its a normal rpg then yea you guys are right the graphics aren't that great. Of course if the game is great who cares
The previous Phantasy Star Onlines were more in the vein of Diablo 2, Baldur's Gate, or Guild Wars.
And the character models(mainly faces) maybe better than Final Fantasy, but I don't think the environments are. Look at the first picture, same flat poorly textured ground as in the dreamcast game, with a 2d bitmap background.
