Final Fantasy VII: Overrated?

[Carl the Llama]

There didn't need to be. But if they had decided to go the other way, there would have been.

But then it wouldnt have been on the PS1.

That was kinda his point :o

did you misread his post? (not sarcasm) his point was (IMO) that if they had decided to go 2D that Sony would have put pressure on them to go 3D, atleast thats the impression I get when I read his post.

I don't see why not. Considering that there were 2D games before and after VII was released, it doesn't seems like Sony minded developers doing it. Sony did not have a mindset of "make games in 3D or don't work for our console", as is being implied by some.

The reason it wasnt on the SNES/N64 was because it wanted to be in 3D correct? and the N64 used Cart and so couldnt handle that amount of data from the 3D world of Final Fantasy VII and so they went over to the Playstation.

Oh and im still waiting for where this "you WILL make 3D games" idea came from, perhaps you would like to tell us where this information came from Roto?
