It aged just fine, all the Square games that used the pre-rendered backgrounds aged pretty dang well. This....because you got to use your imagination as if you were reading a comic book or an interactive novel or something. It was more artistic. As the FF games got more realistic graphics and voice acting, they lost all their magic. Everything got all cringe-worthy. So many JRPG fans thinking "THIS is what the developer have decided to do with all these technological advancements? Why?' You know, I had this same thought the other day. Not to say ALL new games are "bad", because they're not, but I had this thought. It seems like back then, when developers had to go the extra mile to make up for the lack of graphics...things...were better. I agree. There was a magic there. You nailed it. It's imagination. Yup. We got to think in our minds how the characters talked and what all the battle actions and scenes were representing. We listened to a soundtrack and read text. We looked at beautiful backgrounds and cool-looking character models. It was a great experience. Now, all the stuff that we used our imaginations to fill in the gaps have been replaced by some serious cringe-worthy bullshit. It's like that's what the developers had in mind back in the 1990s, but they didn't realize that their actual audience had something much better in their minds when they were filling in those gaps. There's been a massive disconnect. --- All points of view and perspectives exist for a reason. There is no such thing as evil. <cite>HenryAllbright posted [p:913469805] in This feels...
