The videos were the size of postage stamps. It was weak sauce.

>Why didn't Sega make the Mega CD a 32 bit console and push for 3D games or make it a completely standalone console?
They did that and called it the Saturn

bernie wouldn't let jrpg on his console so you wouldn't have ff7, it would be unreleased just like ff2 3 and 5 were

The "how to save the Saturn" threads have officially invented a new stage of grief.

It wasn't even in the same league it came out in 1991 while the PS1 came out in 1994. It had the same CPU as the Mega Drive just with a 50% increase to clock speed and some extra hardware for sprite scaling and rotation. It was more akin to the Gamecube and the Wii which were essentially the same hardware just faster and with a bigger storage medium.

If the visuals had been scaled back to use sprites instead of 3d models then sure, FF7 would have been possible.

They kind of did, there's some 32x games that support the Sega CD.

No it couldn't have, or at least not without being wildly prohibitively expensive (talking Work Station tier) in 1991. And I say this as Sega CDfag. It just couldn't have done FF7.

Every Sega CD 32X game was some FMV bullshit from Digital Pictures.

It did do a lot of good adding in scaling and rotation effects but failed to address the primary issue which was the limited on-screen color count. I think it was more of an addon to replicate the success and amazing games offered on the PC-Engine's CD-ROM^2. There's still plenty of great games on it, but nowhere near the amount that the PCE got.

the Sega CD had a better sound chip that basically worked like the SNES's, as in it could play digital samples
