Anything pre ~2000, graphics came on incredibly in the years at the end of the 90s start of the 21 century. The difference between FF7 (1997)
and FF10(2001)
is vast

2 console generations.
After PS3? modern. On or at PS3? retro.
I had this discussion (read argument) back on reddit a while back. And it's about 15 to 20 years or at the time people were calling PS1/N64 Retro during the PS3 era.
By my math systems like the PS3 and Xbox 360 are now "retro", at least for some kids. I defiantly feel dated when some kid shows up on a PSP thread going on about their Dad's old PSP. And it's weird to think that the Vita and 3DS are about to fall into that camp.

I used to be stricter with that. Now I consider retro any platform that are 2 generations behind (for the ones still active in the market). So PS3/360 and earlier.
I'd say anything before the PlayStation era.
