Prerendered movies ARE part of the game so you shouldn't count them out. If FF VII would have been released on N64 without prerendered movies as on PS1 with them, N64 version would have failed miserably and wouldn't have helped N64 at all. Prerendered movies were big part of charm of FF VII and several other games so N64 would have been seriously gimped.

It's easy, use game engine to make cutscenes. Since N64 geometry and textures are far ahead of PS1's the difference wouldn't have been so drastic. Though 15 years later all these graphics technologies (both real-time and prerendered) look absoulutely outdated for me with little to no difference, but for contemporaries of N64 and PS1 it probably might look differently =)
