>Modern games in general take more time because the text isnt doing all the job. People dont just say what they feel most of the time, its all hidden behind subtext and body language.
First of all, this is silly and ignores the entire reason why FF7 has those famous blocky character models in the first place. They were designed specifically to be expressive. Characters shrug, scratch their heads, laugh, shake their fists in anger, clutch their head in pain.. the list goes on and on. Their heads, arms, hands and legs do all the work. Square knew what they were doing.

Modern games employ much more realistic models but that's also why modern games tend to suck so much more. They rely on movie-style dialog, acting, and direction, but do not have the top-quality writers, actors and directors. FF7r has some of the best 3D models and animators I've ever seen and they're still not out of the uncanny valley yet. Instead of tastefully trying to minimize how much nauseating """acting""" from 3D models the player is forced to endure, Zoomers apparently love this garbage and so games are just crammed full of it.
