I like it because the graphics are that wacky PSX-generation lego brick style. I don't know what it is about ancient graphics, but there's something creepy about them to me and I love it. (Like puppets and old CG in 90's kids shows. You know what I mean? Unsettling.) I also like the fact that the first game is unfinished and FEELS unfinished. I've played it a billion times now but there are still little cracks or bugs in it that I'll find each time that amuse me. Maybe that's the appeal for me because I'm just that into game design... Or maybe FFVII is what got me INTO game design. Not sure which one influenced the interest in the other. lol

But yeah, the atmosphere of the game and the fact that it's so unfinished/unpolished-feeling is what makes it feel really cool and mysterious to me. I STILL feel like I'm going to see something new in it each time I play it. My favorite character isn't even one that many people care about. (Red XIII/Nanaki - the animal in the OP's image.) The thing I love about the characters is what an unexpected bunch of people they are. They all look like they could be protagonists from completely separate games and yet they all come together to be this weirdly endearing group of friends.

I also love how easy it is to make fun of it. Because the game is just WEIRD. You need to SNOWBOARD to move the plot. You chase your enemies in a SUBMARINE MINI-GAME. You can take a break from saving the world to BREED GIANT CHICKENS. You get to harass a pimp! Insult some prostitutes! ...Or ask them to put some makeup on you. For as serious as some parts of the plot are, it's just as zany and ridiculous as well. It's aware of how stupid some parts of its plot are and it doesn't hesitate to make fun of itself which is probably what saves the story from just being bad instead. It's just wacky and fun.
