>100 dollars in marketing

I assume you meant $100,000? The idea of such cheap marketing amuses me nonetheless.

Looking at the sheer amount of prerendered CG in the game you can see where the money went, that shit wasn't cheap back then. Toy Story came out a bit over a year earlier and that only cost $30 million. It was a super ambitious investment.

Nowadays, every single show aimed at toddlers and young kids is made with horrible CGI.

That makes a lot more sense and that's certainly how I remember it, fucking game was everywhere. Billboards, TV spots, magazines.

They spent more in marketing than development. What does this fact mean to you?

>>3295524
Means they knew they had a hit on their hands and wanted to give it, it's best shot at victory

>>3295524
They justifiably had a lot of stuff to market. Nowadays what FF7 boasted about is kind of standard and if you do boast about it you come across sounding like, ironically, a cheesy 90's ad. STATE OF THE ART 3D TECHNOLOGY! It was a huge investment so they went with a do-or-die type of marketing.

and the game is still shit. wow
