>>12809732That's the problem. People don't want to pay $70 dollars for that. They want lots of replayability, secrets levels, unlockable characters, different costumes, etc. Sega was thinking like an arcade company. Not a console company.
>>12809659Wrong, the Saturn was already established as failing in the US by the end of 96, which coincides to the moment everyone cancelled Saturn releases in mass and fewer releases were planned from that point onwards. FF7 was a year later.
>>12809910No. Sega still had a chance before FF7 came out. The game was so huge that people bought PlayStation just to play it.
>>12809535Im not having fun: the game
reminds me of that tragedy
>>12809659You mean Nintendo. FF7 single-handedly killed the N64. Consumers realized overnight that cartridges were holding back video games in a huge way and the future was here.
>>12809659>forcedSega and Sega enthusiasts love being on their knees. Its like their default state, no force required.
>Sega:Ahhh i'm getting raped!!!
>>12810003Sega seemed to be close until mid 1997. Anon was right. FF7 destroyed Sega.
>>12809793this game is evil
This is undoubtedly, the game that has caused most butthurt in the history of humanity
>>12809732too bad rail shooters are shit
>>12810003Nintendo really owes its ass to Game Freak doesn't?
>>12809718ff7 is literally just a snes game but bigger and the camera can pan around to make fights and cutscenes less static>but the 47 hour game has 47 minutes of FMV so it's a movie game or somethingyawn. game has sidequests out the ass including completely optional party members that actually have story relevance instead of the random goofballs you can get at the end of ff6.
>>12810656You don't understand how groundbreaking FF7 was in 1997.
>>12809535Remembered only for the score.
I wonder if square got a kickback from sony for developing and selling a ps1 stress test.
A classic timeless masterpiece.
>>12809535Breath of Fire 3 was. FF7 did not release today.
>>12810064The cope is eternal.
>>12809659>things that never happened, proudly presented by vr's losers and lolcowsfascinating
>>12811502Sega was doing well in Japan until FF7 crushed everyone. Stop pretending.
