It all goes back to your bad reading comprehension. This is what you understood from what was said. However, what you can understand isn't the height of reality but rather it's a lot closer to the floor, for example.

'Even' for its time, refers to the fact that while, yes, it did have "good" graphics for its time, the word "even" is there because, objectively, it still looks like shit to me (character models only, not including battle models or environments) due to the art direction/graphic design for those particular models being bad. The hooves for hands wasn't a technical limitation but rather it was chosen on purpose.

And why am I saying the art direction specifically? Because even if this game came out on the PS2, they had every intention of making Cloud look like a deformed Popeye Smurf person as visible in one of the concept sketches for the game. Like another user said, it was done to maintain the 2D style that FF was known for, but to make it 3D.

And it looks horrible.
