The question isn't whether FF VII was made or not. The question is what would have happened had Sony not effectively marketed the game as deceptively as they did, featuring all CGI shots in both commercials and in gaming magazines and comics. The front and back box art showed no in game footage, only CG. There has never been a game more effectively marketed as a graphical powerhouse in the history of gaming. FF VII could have still been made, Sony could have marketed in-game footage, and the genre would have never picked up the way it did.
I can't seem to find the advertisements on Google Images, but I have comics from 1997 full of them. I can get pics up later for those that don't know about FF VII's epic marketing campaign. Otherwise I'd appreciate anyone that knows where they are on the net to post them up.
