lol @ FFVII on DS. Seriously, no... There are limits to what the DS can do and FFVII is clearly above those limits.

(No offense for DS, it's still a great console).

.... the DS is more powerful than the Nintendo 64, which was a lot more powerful than the PS1. But you don't even need to believe that... there's plenty of proof in screens...

The better comparison would be FFVIII vs these games. But outdated polygon counts aside, N64 was more powerful than the PS1 (though I dunno about 'a lot'). However, because of the limitations of the cart size it lost out. New compression schemes, new methods for pushing/hiding polygons, half the resolution. It's not hard to see how the DS could run N64 games. Maybe even FFVII and FVIII with all the FMVs removed and the assets resolution cut in half.

As I said before, i'd prefer the PSP/PS3 version.
