Worst load times ever. Completly killed the game.

I actually bought this a couple years back, and yeah the 2-3 second loads between battle encounters and such got pretty damn annoying.  I did however buy it knowing this, because I figured getting a playable version of the game for $8 sure as hell beat paying $60 the Snes cart was routinely going for on ebay.  Newer re-releases have probably made this version quite redundant (this version has some kinda neat anime scenes, not sure if the others do), but despite the loading times this version impressed me as being one of the best RPGs I've ever played.

Then again I have a very high pain-barrier for PSX bullshit.

2-3 secconds. Did you get a special version or something. 5-10  secconds on average for me, Once taking as long as 60. Can't forget the 3-5 secconds going into and out of the menu.

 

These would have been pathetic load times on a modern game at the time, the fact that this is basically a straight port of an SNES game makes it even worse. Half the damn game should have been able to be loaded at once.

2-3 Seconds is what I remember, but it's been awhile since I've played it.

Believe me, I'm not trying to defend the fact that it was a crappy port.  I was just saying that 5 years or so back it was cheap, and the bull-shit load times didn't ruin the game for me.  I might as well fess-up and also mention that I tried a ROM version after buying FF Chronicles and found that even more intolerable due to constant graphical glitches, and an unpleasant tendency to to crash.

*shrug*

So no, I'm not really trying to convince anybody that this is a good purchase.  By all means play the DS version, or cough up the dough for the original version of one of the best JRPGs ever made.
