Don't sweat it.
Anyway, my reasoning is that Final Fantasy has a proven track record, and I don't have any initial reason to believe that review you kept trying to shove down my throat.
I still think you'd love FFX is you played it. It's practically tied with FF6 as my favorite. And as for their look, almost every game that Tetsuya Nomura has done the designs for has that "wacky" costume style. Look at Yuffie, or Edea. Besides, the characters in X aren't that far out there. The only ones who I think are a little peculiar would be Lulu's skirt made of belts, and Dona's thong-showing dress.
