is there anything on the N64 that looks as good as say Final Fantasy 9? imo no.
There where alot of PS1 games that looked much better than anything on the n64.

Perfect Dark.

Perfect Dark simply has superior texturing, lighting, shadowing and geometric details... Not to mention when Final Fantasy 9 looks it's best is when the pre-rendered backgrounds are on-scene.

....And to think Perfect Dark isn't even the best looking N64 game.

Its hard to compaire a 3D world, vs a lock perspective + 2D background.
But in terms of character models (which both have) FF9 blows Perfect dark waaay outta the water. Like thats not even close.

So geometric detail, model vs models isnt close.

Shadows are the same, just a blurry blob underneat the character models feet, in both games.
Lighting? maybe it goes to Perfect dark, but again its hard to compaire when the 2D backgrounds kinda get in the way of that sort of compairsion.
Textures are better in FF9 too, theres much higher detail there.
