That passage sounds about right when separated from the rest. Final Fantasies suck gameplay wise, as do all the other games that feature random battles. Obviously Blue Dragon is better in that department, as it utilizes upon the ideas of the better RPG's of the SNES era, such as Chrono Trigger, Lufia II, Super Mario RPG and Earthbound. Oh, and the esper system sucked.
The plot of Final Fantasy VI left quite an impression on me when I was 12 years old, but in retrospective... I'm glad I've played it when I was young, as I wouldn't be too impressed by it if I played it now. Sure, Blue Dragon looks kind of kiddy, but I wouldn't judge its plot until I actually play the game.
Also, I don't get why there are people who say that FFVI's graphics were good for its time, let alone generally good. Secret of Mana has superior graphics and it was released a year earlier. You may not like Blue Dragon's graphics' style, but it's hard to argue about their quality.
Now, what makes Final Fantasy VI a great game is the fact that it features the best soundtrack ever, and I don't see that changing any time soon. I hope Uematsu delivers some great music for Blue Dragon, but I doubt it'd be as good as his crowning achievment.
