Also, the character models in 8 was, together with their textures, a quantum leap from 7. But put a character from a NES or SNES FF game next to one of FF7's field models, and one from 8 or 9 if you wish, and compare their animations. 7 didn't really push any boundaries there - even 8 was a huge step up in that department, and 9? Whoa!
Look, just read that part of the post again, slowly. I'm talking history, not prowess.
Wow, someone other than me agrees with me on the "FF9 tried to have better graphics than what the hardware could deal with" thing. Good to know I'm not alone.
