Technically, PS1 FMVs are what got me into FF and JRPGs. Anyone who was around for the launch of FF7 probably remembers that the (American) TV commercials only showed the FMV sequences. So lets say I had unrealistic expectations what the whole game would look like. But I got the game for Christmas 1997 and enjoyed it all the same, even after the whiplash of seeing what the actual in-game models look like.

They did that entirely on purpose btw.. Theyd also avoid telling people if it was an rpg because they knew action games sold better outside japan.

Your video on the pre-rendered backgrounds inspired me to pick up FF9 on PC. Alongside the Moguri Mod, it has been incredible to re-experience! What really highlights the FMVs is the lack of dialog. They are pure setting, atmosphere, music, and storytelling. They can be that perfect bridge of how you imagined those detailed, static images coming to life.

One of the main things as a kid i looked forward to on playstation games were the FMVs. I remember when cgi movies were coming out and news outlets and commercials where touting them like "never seen before! A huge leap in animation" but as a kid I always thought "I've been seeing cgi with playstation games, nothing new lol".

Oof, goosebumps right off the bat with the FF9 FMV. It's wild how ahead of their time Square was with this. Nothing even came close to looking as good on console in the 90s, and yeah, growing up with them, I'm sad to see them go. It's nice how good things look, but it was amazing to see cutscenes with a vastly superior visual fidelity. It felt like treats sprinkled throughout the game.

They’re kind of making a comeback in indie games. Also, yeah, Square Enix still does a lot of what technically qualifies as an FMV, but the pre-rendered graphics are no longer a lightyear in quality ahead of the in-engine graphics so it’s a little harder to notice.

Especially when a part of a game is challenging, getting to see fmv cutscenes after is an amazing reward!

Very pleasent to watch video. I love this old prerendered aesthetic in FMVs from late 90s-early 2000s games. This cutscenes are so unique for this era and i couldn'e agree more that they were often kind of sweet reward for completion section of game and additional encouragement to go forward. For me they are still very charmful often more then many modern in-engine cutscenes.

It would be great if you made a video on how they built the FMVs. The programs and toolchains used. The number of computers and the amount of time it took to render a scene, etc.

I insta subscribed. Love your channel. PS1 is my favorite system. So many iconic games and the FMVs were so amazing, even now they hold up really well. The FMVs transformed the games into huge productions. It took the game to the next level in immersion and scale. So many times as a kid my mind was blown. Parasite Eve is my favorite game on the PS1, and those FMVs are the best on the PS1 for me hands down.

Never stop making videos. This was like an hour long nostalgia bomb. From the bad ass Adult swim like intro and interlude to the great description while talking about the FMV’s I just wanna inject this sh*t strait into my veins. Also if you don’t do a video on the xenogears animations I will feel personally insulted. PS: The Soul Reaver intro is the best PS1 intro of all time in my opinion!

I'll never forget the opening to FF7. I don't know if anything has come as close to blowing my mind going from the SNES to that was actually insane. Opening movie for tales of destiny was another one I watched again and again. And more games needed a item to rewatch cutscenes like Lunar SSSC did. I would have rewatched so many of the final fantasy cutscenes.

That was really cool how Lunar gave you the option to go back and watch them again. Later RPGs started doing that more but it was still really rare in the PS1 era

Bonus points went to PS1 for being smart enough to release free demo dics. Squaresoft did this often. My copy of Brave Fencer Mushashi and a few of my other games came with a demo disc because they were in the cases made for multiple dics, so if it was a 2 or 3 disc game, it would have available spots for more, so they would toss in a 3 to 5 game demo for free. This got us to try games that we may not have tried otherwise. It was actually a good strategy.
@GamingBroductions 2 ай бұрын
Those were definitely a great idea on their own, Square did an awesome job in general in marketing their other games to their existing fanbase. On the back of every instruction manual to one of their games would be short little previews of their other games out at the time, made it kind of feel like this big connected but not actually connected world of games
