The load time is really required for anything with a CD, your Play Station takes some of the information off the CD originally, such as a battle that you get in, or an area you are walking around in, and a saves it in the systems' RAM, but to change from one thing to the next it has to read the CD, thus requiring alittle bit of load time, commonly known as the lag you are complaining about. PS 2 doesn't really have much of a lag time with it's games because it has much more RAM capibility. But all the other PS games have load time, you just notice this one more because you have played the game with out the lag.
No, we're talking about the extremely bad load times of Final Fantasy VI in comparison to other Playstation games. The Playstation version of Final Fantasy VI is notorious for having really bad load times. It's not uncommon for a battle to take 10-20 seconds to load up, whereas it takes 2-3 seconds on the other Final Fantasy games on the Playstation (Final Tantasy VII - Final Fantasy IX for example). It's a known problem that everyone hates.
