Weren't the two games remade at the same time?

No, they were released about a year apart.

Weren't the FMVs for FFIV made for the WonderSwan re-release, or am I mistaken? I don't know when that version was released, but I believe it was prior to Anthology.

The WSC remake happened way after the PS rerelease, and the WSC couldn't support FMV, anyway.

The Anthology version of FFIV has got "copyright 1992, 1998, 1999, 2002" on the label, suggesting it was re-made in 1998. That'd put it halfway between FFVII and FFVIII. It doesn't really explain why the FMVs are so much poorer than FFVII, but I guess the remakes didn't have the same time and budget that the other projects did.

Wow, Rydia and Tellah are just about the only characters who resemble their in-game appearances, in the original game or the FMVs.

Wasn't Tobal No. 1 released before ANY of the PS FF games? 'Cause that game had really good FMVs.
