Onyx workstations. The demo featured polygon-based 3D renderings of characters from Final Fantasy VI in a real time battle and incorporated interactive elements.[47][48] This experiment led the development team to integrate these design mechanics into Final Fantasy VII. However, as a result of the high quantity of memory storage required to implement the motion data, 3D models, and computer graphics effects involved, only the CD-ROM format would be able to suit the project's needs.[34][47] Nintendo, for which Square had developed all previous titles in the Final Fantasy series, had decided to continue to use cartridges for its upcoming Nintendo 64 console. This eventually led to a dispute that resulted in Square ending its long, often tumultuous, relationship with Nintendo, and Square announced on January 12, 1996 it would be developing Final Fantasy VII for Sony's PlayStation platform.[34][47]
straight from guru wiki with cited sources dude. PWMED! lol jk! and for the last part........ BLASPHEMY! WITCH! BURN HER, BURN HER! |
I'm aware of what was said, but again, all that wouldn't have meant shit if N64 took off, and the PS flopped like the Saturn. That's why I brought up the (inferior) DS taking DQ9 over the PSP, or PS3 even. They were just itching for an excuse to get away from Nintendo, as was pretty much everyone else - because more money was to be made with Sony. Besides, if you can believe the reasoning they gave for leaving Nintendo, why not believe the excuse they're making for making FF13 multiplat? Like - They'll make more money by porting to the X360! You can't just choose which official reasons you want to believe, and claim the rest are BS. If one is fishy, they all are 
Oh, and I'm a guy, I just happen to have a badass Yotsuba avatar. Don't even think about burning her
