    Default N64

    Did you know that FFVII was originally going to be on the N64?

    After Sony and Nintendo had their little tiff, Square decided to go with the PSX because it was a far more workable system. Would be interesting to see how things might've developed had VII ended up on the 64.

    It'd be interesting, indeed. I feel like it's better utilized on the PSX with the vastness of the game, but the graphics (for their time) would've been a lot better.

    I've have seen video of it before. While the N64 has its advantages, the PS1 was the way to go.

    Damn straight, she looks like a cross between Chun Li and an American Cheerleader.

    I've got a full collection of 'Super Play' magazines from the SNES era and there are loads of articles on FFVII for the N64 in there. Suffice to say there would be NO-ONE disappointed that it wasn't on the N64.

    EDIT: What the hell is Shadow doing in these shots? It looks like he's dancing an extremely camp 60's jive.

    I would love to have a truly in-depth behind the scenes chronicle of the development of FFVII, depicting how much was developed on the N64 and how much of the Xenogears script was integrated into the game.
