Oh, and by the way.

If you intend to play VI, don't play the PS1 version. Load times ruin the damn game. Get the GBA or SNES version by any means necessary - or just wait for the remake.

Huh? :O I've played Final Fantasy VI (second disc in Final Fantasy Anthology) and I've never seen any loading times O_o

It's not that you haven't seen them, it's that you haven't noticed them because there's no frame of reference. To someone who's used to the lightning quick non-loadtimes of the SNES or GBA versions, it's torture. The game's loading times are horrendous when you consider its relatively high encounter rate.

Oh, I see O_o. I remember that when you encounter enemies there was a "shh, shh, shhhhhh" sound and the screen was divided in like two halves or something like that and you get to the battle screen right after. All that process was like 2 seconds long. If that's a long loading time then the SNES version must be like 0.01 seconds long xD.

Besides, if I didn't notice that then The Xbox Man won't notice them either because Final Fantasy VII and VIII take around the same time to load battles... hmm... now I'm curious... I think I'm going to search some SNES Final Fantasy VI videos on YouTube to see how long the loading times are in that version xD.
