FF7 would be impossible to make for N64 as it is now. The game spans 3 CDs, and it's about 2000 MB in total. There is no way in hell that would fit on an N64 cassette. I'm not sure if even 200 MB would fit on an N64 cassette. So the game would have to be a lot different to be made for N64.. probably without all the pre-rendered movies and maybe other things too.

I heard a long long time ago that the reason they changed to PS1 was that the CD technology offered much more storage room than those crappy cassettes.
