| | Final Fantasy X - Retroview |
 | | While Final Fantasy VII incorporated huge, revolutionary moments that shook both the gaming and movie industries, what sticks out in people’s minds commonly, at the same time, as a cinematic gaming revolution was the release of Capcom’s Resident Evil 2, released shortly after. |
 | | However, these two were different in a significant way as well; Final Fantasy VII was the long, artistic epic with built-up emotions, while Resident Evil 2 concentrated the cinematic power, by making the plot twists closer together, and adding full speech dialogue, while both maintained the gameplay they should. |
 | | Final Fantasy VII was cinematically formulaic at times, but since it was so mind-blowing apart from those little problems, all was fine; here, there is no following of traditional story or cinematic formulas that everyone sees every day. |
