Well, during Ye Olde 8 and 16-bit console wars, Sega had always the upper hand in terms of raw console power... despite that, Nintendo has won both of the wars in its time
Irrelevant (and you're wrong anyway, Sega pretty much won the 16-bit war, except in Japan).

Besides, isn't that what people usually complain about the newer FFs? That they're all flash and no substance?
Yes. But Phantasy Star wasn't super flashy. It was well animated and care had gone into the graphics. And it had substance. Three planets, talking with creatures, vehicles, etc.

PS rocks or whatever, now let me celebrate the anniversary in peace
The anniversary was three days ago. And yesterday was Phantasy Star's.

Not to mention that there isn't much to celebrate. It was a half-decent game. In the West, Final Fantasy didn't even see the light of day until many years later, and Phantasy Star was released overseas in 1988 and was the West's first console RPG.
