>So basically you're saying you never read a single gaming magazine in 1997 or 98?
I was never big on gaming magazines concerning PlayStation because I owned a Sega Saturn and also played games on the family Mac growing up.

There also wasn't any one "killer app" for PlayStation since gaming tastes vary and JRPGs haven't been much of a big deal outside of Japan. If there was any one game that showed off as much graphical and gaming power as the PlayStation was capable of, though, I'd say it was the original Gran Turismo, which, like FFVII, was on two discs, but unlike FFVII, managed to move over 10 million copies.

>those were the two games that put cinematics front and center, and really showcased the CD medium.
As did Night Trap, Sewer Shark, and Dragon's Lair, years before in arcades and on Sega CD, along with a lot of other CD-based games before.

Let's pull back a little on the delusion here, Square wasn't as innovative or particularly special as you might think. I would've been torn apart years ago for questioning their creative perfection in the eyes of rabid fanboys exactly like you, but vindication came in the form of pic related.
