Gameplay and story do matter. Name me one PS2 game that your gameplay completely determines the physical traits and abilities of your character. I can name two for XBOX- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Fable, due next year.



FFX, plus the upcoming FFX-2 and FFXI, plus all the previous FF games.




You're close, but, not quite there. The character models themselves are not altered. Your characters weapons and clothing change as you choose to change them, yes, but, they don't age, their eyes don't change color, and their base skills don't change all that drastically. The two games I mentioned above change all of these traits.

Example, in Fable, if you opt to use magic as opposed to be a fighter, your eyes will turn white over time, your hair will fall out, your body will become smaller and more frail. Turn evil, your skin will become pale, turn good, you will be more well built. Over time, wrinkles appear, and you become scarred from battles- some of which never disappear. Can't say the same about any of the Final Fantasy games- ANY of them, and I've played every one up until 8... I didn't feel like watching the movie with occasional gameplay that was FF9, and feel that square has tried to get too far away from what made them great in the first place- their great story combine with relatively simple gameply, without reliance upon eye candy, the way they do now.
