Tbh, I believe the late PS1 era CGI were made by proper 3d animation studios, compared to the earlier ps1 where they were usually made by developers.
Yeah, they started using FMVs in 1999 because MPEG-4 came out and they could fit them on a CD.
I believe before that there weren't that much high quality 3d FMVs. But there were some high quality 2d animation and stuff with real actor, but those were mostly for PC games where they could divide a game in multiple cds.
Sony was getting devs set up for PS2 as well. They were really hyping the emotion engine stuff and probably wanted their main developers to be able to hit the ground running when it came out.
The FMVs made at the end of the PS1 era were supposed to be a teaser for what the PS2 could do real time.
