A lot of people seem to be ignoring one major issue.....game genre.


For some games like linear level progessive FPS games multiple discs is a a swap every few hours. RPGs it would not be.


I'm playing through FFXII some now, and I am constantly backtracking doing quests, jumping through multiple areas in minutes.


If this game was multi-disc I'd be needing to swap the disc every 1-3 minutes at points. Sure, doing the main story I guess I'd stick about in each area a good while, but when it comes to the smaller quests which do make up a large bulk of game, swapping discs constantly would be a real pain in the arse.

 

Didn't FFVII, FFVIII, and FFIX have multiple discs and backtracking?

 

After a certain point on the final disc, the backing tracking was very limited.
