cities and towns were just collections of monotonous multi-colored blocks with fuck all in them to see and do
what few NPCs existed were nothing but empty, stationary signposts with no purpose but dispensing random out of context game mechanic factoids that usually had nothing to do with them or you
grid-based tilesets are fucking disgusting, and made everything look the same
without the vast amount of illustrated content from the anime and other places supporting it, the pre-gen 4 sprite era was absolutely bland
while you're not necessarily wrong to think that way, part of the appeal of something interactive like a video game is that you get to insert yourself into someone else's imagined world and build your own story within it, otherwise I might as well just go build a box fort outside and cram my stuffed animals into tupperware containers, imagination can take care of the rest
