The idea of 'cinematic RPG battlescenes' was the hottest thing around. Remember, this was mere months after Final Fantasy VII. That's why I chose a random spot from the middle/end of SF3 sc 2 to show them off. By the end of SF3 sc3 the magic and attacks you do look very, very impressive for a Saturn title. SF3 sc2 and SF3 sc3 use slightly different, upgraded engines from SF sc1 and thus allow for even more special effects. They start off pretty simple in SF sc1 (and then again restart simple at the beginning of each scenario) but then keep getting bigger and more elaborate.
