I remember how absolutely jaw dropping FF8’s cutscenes were at the time. I had never heard of Final Fantasy, saw some stills in magazines and thought “God damn, this game looks incredible!” Then I saw my friend actually playing it and as soon as the first cutscene ended it was like “Oh… OK. This is fine I guess.”
Final Fantasy 8
I’m acquire this meme, could be useful later in the feature
Thank you
I just did a “Paul F Tompkins off-mic on Comedy Bang Bang” laugh
I wonder how this meme looks on a CRT, I bet it would remove the jaggedness of it all.

Does the Final Fantasy 7 also suffered from the same issue since it also on Playstation and it was released much earlier than 8?
Yes
I see
Yeah, FF7 is the OG of cinematic/in-game disconnect. Advertised almost exclusively with FMV footage, to great effect, too.
