That's actually not a bad idea. A constant reminder of something that will eat us over the course of time if we don't get help, could be a good device, even if their is no timelimit in-game.

FF7? Really? Okay, tastes are different, but this one is new. And yes Wind Waker still looks good, but that's because it always was so stylized, that it don't even bother to compete with the more impressive games at the time (like Unreal 2 or maybe Dead or Halo 2). The "realistic" models of FF8 still look good "for their time", but they are outdated compared to a character from the Witcher 3 for example. But okay, if you think so, I will leave at that.
