Thankfully, the PS2 keeps it from crashing anywhere. It does sort of skip on the FMV when you're with Bugenhagen in the City of the Ancients.

My FFVIII disc started crashing when the B team is in the tower the last time I played with PS2.

My Xenogears CD won't work past Solaris in the sewers I think it is. I get into a random encounter, and it crashes. Disc 2 doesn't work well, either.
