I would argue that JRPGs actually took a step back in playability with the PS1. Now you've got longer loading times, long flashy, often unskippable animations and of course horribly low poly models.
The shift from pre-rendered graphics to 3D polygonal graphics was a rough one for every genre. I remember being very resistant to it. And even those that at the time looked good to me (like FFVII), look beyond terrible to me now, while a game like FFVI still looks fine. So I 100% agree with you about any of the early games with low poly models aging very poorly, at least graphically.
.. along the same lines, for me it's NWN2. When it came out I thought it looked great but the idea of playing a child for the original campaign was unappealing, so I played Oblivion which came out the SAME DAY… (Imagine if TES VII and DA4 came out on the same day).
Re-post from my Cyberpunk 2077 thread.Cyberpunk 2077. Damn you CDPR and your downgraded graphics! /s
What's wrong with Horizon Zero Dawn? It looks like a good game. Is it because the PC port sucked?

Generally speaking, early 3D as mentioned several times. It's no secret that well drawn 2D games aged considerably better, such as HoMM3 and BG2 compared to 3D strategy games or RPGs of the time.
Nox, great memories. Is the resolution a problem? If it is 640*480 or so I can imagine it would be difficult. I have that problem with bg1 and torment.Also, I tried replaying Nox some time ago. Loved it back in the days. Played through it quite a few times, even in somewhat recent years. However, I simply can't get into it at this point. I can't really explain why.

Yeah, it's painful to play on modern monitors and such. I would really like a simple, visual upgrade of the game. Essentially an enhanced edition, similar to Baldur's Gate: EE and so on, even if it's just a "cash grab". I'd pay for it. Used to love that game, but now it's just unplayable for me.
