I've only played the PS1 version, and also the ROM. The loading times weren't that bad. I started with FFVII, and played PS1 RPG's for years, so having load times for CT and older FF's on the PS1 weren't too tortuous.

I have considered getting the real Super NES version of CT, though, now that I have a better SNES controller. I'm weird. I have FFVI for PS1, then recently I got it for Super NES in English and then in Japanese. I've only completed the PS1 version a long time ago, though. Anyways, with CT, the extras were neat. There are plenty of extras. Oh, and don't use bluelaguna. Use zophar.net for video game soundtracks, and then try bluelaguna if zophar doesn't have it. Zophar has it just like in the game instead of having annoying fadeouts (unless you like fadeouts). Also, I like in CT that there are ingame FMV's, unlike the FF ports.

But yeah, I should get CT for SNES as well, and also play all the way through the older FF's on the SNES. Once I get FFIV, my FF collection will be complete, mwahaha.
