oh and here is a link to a 1up article that highlights Super Mario 64. In it they mention what I said about Miyamoto and carts. Scroll down to the FFVII picture of Cloud holding his sword, the paragraph sub title is The Shape of Things That Came and read the second paragraph. If you're too lazy to do that I'll copy and paste it and bold the important parts.
"Although it's difficult to say precisely how much of the Nintendo 64's design was shaped by Mario 64, both the weird tri-handle controller and the expensive cartridge format were reportedly implemented at Miyamoto's request for the sake of his magnum opus."
And if you read a few paragraphs down it says...
"But it's no exaggeration to say that the N64 was largely built around the needs of Mario 64, all the way down to the system's launch (which was reportedly delayed at least once to allow the game to be completed to the developers' liking)."
So please, don't pretend that Miyamoto, the person behind the game that would make or break N64, had no say in what happened with the system. He's always had a say in things.
Edit-I think the problem with the FFVII translation is that it was rushed. It was worse than all the others though so maybe Sony did use their own team and they might not have been prepared to translate a game of this calibur.
