Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?

Haha that’s an interesting 20fps cap option.

I want to give an example of Final Fantasy VII for the PS1. The battles in that game have very low frame rate, about 18 FPS. I modded the game on steam a couple of years ago and unlocked the frame rate, so it was running at 60fps.

I remember it was transformative to the point where it was unsettling to look at, because I had become so accustomed to 18 FPS for that game.

Absolutely after a few battles I preferred it, but it did strike me that some aspect of the games’ identity was tied to that low FPS. Nostalgia is a powerful thing for me.
