What if Final Fantasy 7 was an N64 game?

>> No.10447457

Background texture too high-res for an N64 game

You would have to change cartridges at every single FMV scene.

You can't talk like that here, the nintendrones will hear you. Then they'll call the shiggy mod and the jannys will dance naked around your corpse as shiggy mod devours your flesh.

Don't delude yourself, mechanically that game is like Mystic Quest-tier.

if it was like the Goemon game with true 3D maps and realtime fights it would have been one of the greatest games ever

>wait until anon discovers that each disc already holds all the non-FMV data and the FMVs are the reason it was multi-disc to begin with
If you changed the code, to not play the FMVs, there would be no need for additional discs.

>> No.10447547

>>10447523
But there would still be a need for additional cartridges. At least 4

Well then it's not FF7 anymore, congratulations, you've made a shitty demake

>> No.10447645

It would probably focus on fully 3D environments, rather than pre rendered ones, because that's what N64 was good at.
Would it look like Quest 64, with actual good writing? Maybe.

It's not just cutscenes, in PS1 FFs FMVs are used for in-game backgrounds during some scenes. Try playing FF7 even a little bit, it's right at the start

Nah, they would have loved it. Square and Enix games were huge in the NES or SNES.
Besides, they loved Zelda OOT, a game with braindead battles, simple and easy puzzles, no jumping, poor framerate, empty deserts without barely any enemy, almost everything is automatized...

This but unironically. Even Tales of Symphonia actually had to add tight fun maps and dungeons. Baten Kaitos has interactivity and puzzles everywhere as well

Theoretically, the entire game + fmvs can be done on a single cartridge. The rom file size would be astronomical (more than RE2 at 64) and would cost a shitload of money at retail, hence why they did cd-roms at a reasonable price to sell at.

and I though only segafags were like this

If the game had good graphics instead of 3D graphics, then all of it except music could have fit onto a Super Famicom cartridge. Handle the music in one of a few different ways, and there you go, problem solved. The game has been drastically improved AND it's been made portable to several other platforms.

Any development funds saved thanks to this change could be allocated toward a project to lobby the Japanese government to preemptively make voice acting in video games illegal (with a narrow exception carved out for simulation games involving man-faced fish), for the sake of future gamers.

>n64 exclusive
A very different game, say goodbye to many of the pre-rendered backgrounds and the cinematics

>64DD port of the PS1 version
A very weird hybrid with some parts very true to the original and some completely changed. Hated by purists, beloved by contrarians.

>64DD developed simultaneously with PS1
Gets spun off as a side title
