"Development of Final Fantasy VII began in 1994 and the game was originally intended for the SNES , but it was later moved to the Nintendo 64 . As the system's cartridges lacked space, Square decided to release the game for Sony's PlayStation instead." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_fantasy_7

It was a coin toss between the Playstation and the Sega Saturn .If Soft decided to put their masterpiece on the Saturn, Sony's reign of dominance that lasted for over a decade would have been cut short with Sega taking its place .

Theres no "if" for Nintendo they stubbornly wanted to stick to cartridges and.....well the rest as you all know is history.

Square announced on 01/12/1996 it would be developing Final Fantasy VII for the Play Station

Sega Saturn was released 05/11/1995

Sony PlayStation was released 12/03/1994

 

 

What is your source for Square considering the Saturn?  I had never heard that before.

And certainly if FF7 was on Saturn, so would have been FF8 and FF9. Plus some other third-party games would have followed.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
