Why is it that...
FFVI on PSX lags like crazy. I mean seriously, it shouldn't take 5 seconds to load sprites for a battle, or lag whenmore than two character's turns arrive at the same time. This really pissed me off.SNES never had those problems.
...
Ok, I'm done complaining.

This is a common problem for the Playstation version of FFVI.

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.Originally posted by LingaringBell

Just get a PS2 and turn on fast loading.
how do you turn on fast loading?

It's in the system setup options that you can access when you turn on the PS2 without a CD/DVD in the drive. Unfortunately the fast loading is not the default setting so you have to do this everytime you trun on the PS2 and want fast loading.
Didn't Squaresoft test this game on the Playstation? Surely they must know about this... And why didn't they fix it before release?
They speak of my drinking but they never consider my thirst.
The dumber people think you are, the more surprised they're going to be when you kill them.

They did, and they were also aware that the first batch of Anthology (and 17 other games as well) couldn't run on the first few generations of PS2's. They had five years to perfect it, and it seems they didn't do much to it. The least they could've done is to add a second disc for (SPOILER)the World of Ruin. But there is no reason why is should take so long to load SPRITES of all things.Originally posted by Marcus

Well.... There's A reason, but it's not a good one. It's called laziness.
OOps...I just made a thread about this -___-.
But on the ones you guys have played, does it also slowdown at times durning battles? Like the frame rate goes down when they are attacking at times?
I like Kung-Fu.
Yeah, it pisses me off. When I enter more that two commands, it lags.
I bet this game will run AWESOME on PS3!
