Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment is a great example of the importance of unity between game visuals and theme.

Vandal Hearts 1 and 2 was great, but the 3rd game was not that good in comparison. I'm sure even FF Tactics was inspired by Vandal Hearts, considering it came before that.
"Here are ten Konami games that deserve a good remake." - Patrick Kulikowski
