well i had problems playing FFVII on my PS2 and it was just messing around like it skipped the first cut scene and did the train scene with the music when you see Aeris there, i find a game as old as FFVII? it isnt worth trouble sorting out on the PS2, im sorry i can't SPECIFICALLY help on this but is it at all possible that the PS2 is nackered? is the FFVII Pal or NTSC if its Pal theres your problem.
