Oooo I didn't know that!

Wow, the entirety of Final Fantasy VII... 100MB... I'm looking at our speech packs on F1 right now and just one of them is almost double that.
I'd wager even the most of that is the pre-rendered backgrounds. The 3D models are extremely simple and often have no textures at all. The music is a midi-like format and each track is just a few kilobytes. The text for dialogue is of course also probably just a few kilobytes. Consider that all of shakespeare's works can be contained within 5 MB of uncompressed text.
