I'm talking about the memory capacity of the PS1's CDs vs the N64's cartridges. A PS1 CD could hold 650MB, while a standard N64 cartridge could hold 4MB to 64MB (the more memory you wanted, the higher the manufacturing cost). It was the need for CD that lead to FF7 becoming a PS1 exclusive.

Of course not all PS1 games actually used voice acting, it was simply a more viable feature thanks to the extra memory available. The cheapness of manufacturing PS1 disks also made multi-disk games a viable option for games that needed even more than 650MB (again, FF7 is a good example of this).

FF7 took up 3 of those discs, just imagine if it had been on N64, the amount of cartridges it would have had to use
