Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: I never understood the hype around Final Fantasy VII.

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]It just looked like a bunch of pre-rendered cutscenes - and not even particularly GOOD (by thirteen-year-old me standards, meaning photorealistic) pre-rendered cutscenes! By the time FFVII came out, I'd already seen the <a href="http://gaming.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/secretofvulcanfury/misc/adscan75.jpg">Secret of Vulcan Fury</a> trailer, which promised a CGI DeForest Kelley who was <i>literally better than the real thing.</i> How were a bunch of crude Japanese puppets supposed to compete with that? Final Fantasy fans had the last laugh, though, when I ended up buying the latest entry in another classic series instead: Erick Avari's Zork: Grand Inquisitor :( [youtube id="IQHyg6nFpAY"][/quote]
