How differently would the game look proportioned?

Have you played VII? Did you enjoy that more than IX and could you take those characters seriously? The characters were just as disproportioned in that, more so I'd say actually, than in IX. Did you ever think that perhaps these characters in this land are not the same as the humans we would normally think of? A bit like elves or dwarves; a form of humanoid that is dominant on Gaia. That's the way I always saw it - I didn't think that they were supposed to look the same as real humans, they are fictional people from a fictional land and if you look at it that way then it might be easier to take them seriously.

Pretty much this.
Except the unproportional design was part of the game's concept, and not graphical limitations like in VII. Sounds like a petty reason not to play a game.
