I thought quest64 happened because square told nintendo to go pound sand, released FF7 on the PS and left previously-leader-of-the-jrpg-pack nintendo with fuck all?
like, snes had TONS of good rpg’s, and the 64 had nothing, despite people clamoring for the things.
I seem to recall it was intended to fill a gap and was instead used to prove “see? Nobody likes these games!”.
