A solid looking will always remain so. That said, the intro to FFVI is still gorgeous, and will most likely always remain so. The walking through the snow part is amazing.
this is true. If a game looks good, it will always look good. You need only sharpen up on whether or not you're praising the relative technical brilliance of the artists, or the art itself. I can love the look in Calvin & Hobbes as easily as I can in a piece that is hyper realistic and took years to make, just as I can love the Downtown Nekketsu look in favor of many modern 2D games with more colors/ animation/characters, etc.
