What did the analog button on those old controllers even do? I was never clear on what they were there for.
It depends on the game. In the KH games, it centered the camera directly behind Sora. I remember in MGO1, it reloaded your gun. I think in Chrono Cross, R3 was "accept" and L3 was "decline", so you could pretty much navigate menus and stuff without almost ever leaving the analog sticks. In the FFVII re-release on PS4, it enables certain things like no encounters, or speeding up the game.
No, I meant the tiny little "Analog"-labelled button on old PS controllers, not the stick buttons. Did that button just turn on/off the stick buttons or something?
Oh well that one turned off the Analog sticks, iirc. ---
