N64 cartridges usually only had like 64mb on them right? Final fantasy 7 was 4 CDs on the PS1 (even highly compressed its atleast 1.5 gigs worth of a game).
Imagine if instead of 4 CDs (for ps1), you had like 25 cartridges to play FF7 on the N64. Please insert Cartridge #12 of 25, and load your save game. |
FF7, which is 3 CDs BTW, has around 400MB of unique data (meaning extra data that is shared between the CDs is excluded) if FMV cutscenes are not counted. Backgrounds take about half of those 400 megs. Just making something clear, not disproving your point. Even though it could have been a single CD game it still couldn't fit on a cartridge (not to mention that even 3 CDs was a fraction of the price of a 64 meg cart at the time)
