I'd still really like FFVIII to be there though. As for my opinion on Square choosing the PS1 over N64, I'm very happy with how things went. FFVII did a lot for Square and jrpgs. FFVII would have been crippled on the N64 and been a completely different game. It wouldn't have had the same marketing push that Sony gave the game either, leading to lower sales and fewer people introduced to the series and jrpgs in general, certainly for a long time. In Europe we really got shafted, more so than America, when it came to jrpgs released before the PS1, we had a few but magazines and video game shows never showed them or told anyone why they'd want to play something like that. FFVII introduced me to my joint favourite genre and with that one game's commercial and critical success there was more light shed on a whole genre. This might never have happened if Square stuck with Nintendo, so I'm glad. |
That is an interesting take on it. I would have liked to know what would have been had Nintendo opted for CD. Perhaps it could it have been better, but either way, it indeed would have been different without a doubt.
