| Senlis said: The N64 had better 3D graphics than the PS1. Many RPG's of that era (including FFVIII) used tricks to make you think they looked good. Of course there was pre-rendered cinema scenes, which took advantage of the disk format, but I am not talking about that. One trick used by FFVIII, FFVII and the Resident Evil series is a picture background with a fixed camera angle. That is beside the point. The SNES era was the last generation based on 2D graphics. It has what I consider to be good looking 2D graphics. The PS1/N64 era was the first generation based on 3D graphics. It has what I consider to be bad looking 3D graphics. I will take a good looking 2D game over a bad looking 3D game anyday.

I still think FFVIII looks great and if they used tricks to make the mind make it think it looked that good, well, then they accomplished their goal.
Heavens to Murgatoids.
