I could be wrong but I believe most of the FMV in Playstation game was actually encoded in MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 format (basically uncompressed/slightly compressed) and on a modern console these could be compressed to (potentially) 10% of their size. |
it would be a lot smaller not only because of that, but because much of the data was repeated on all 3 of the disks. That includes the overworld, music, and everything that has to do with battles. For the most part it was the same data 3 times with different FMVs on each CD.
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X
