How am I supposed to take this game seriously when it looks so bad?

Get fucked zoomer.
Pre-rendered backgrounds are timeless, CG cutscenes still look good, overworld character models in most JRPGs have always been representative of the characters so it doesn't matter how they look.

nigger I played the shit out of the 64
stop being a projecting dumbass

>all this cope
serious moments in the game are fucking laughable just because of how bad they look
the prerendered backgrounds are so shitty they have a mode that specifically tells you what's interactable because the whole thing is a blurry jpeg you can't even decipher otherwise

It's not a bad idea to always have Aerith in your team. If you grind a lot she'll become really useful end game.

Cloud RedXIII Aerith

Aerith has best end game stats.

Replaying right now, just got out of the Mythril Mines. Rocking with Barret, Cloud and Aerith

Serious moments in JRPGs have historically taken places between something like 20 pixels of a mushed up interpretation of characters, you absolute cretin. Find a new hobby.

Rotate them and you'll get an appreciation for all of them.

But if you don't want to do that: Cloud, Barret and Aerith. And eventually Cloud, Party member number 6 and last party member.

>born in 1997
>not a zoom

>I was born that year

no wonder you're a fucking moron
