As long as you call the 6-7 seconds of a battle scene initiation barely  any loading time then I agree. It's even up to 15 seconds on FF8.

The decision of going for a cartridge system was not based on one game.

Nope. It’s not even 6-7 seconds. In fact, it’s barely longer than the black screen you’d get in-between locations in the SNES FF games.

Loading time is from the moment the screen distorts to the moment all models are visible on the battlefield. 

Screen distorts -> black screen -> battle arena is loaded -> enemy models are loaded -> player characters are loaded. 

Everything in that scene is not just for show. 

Same as in Ocarina of Time when the screen fades to white while moving from one map to another one. It's done to load the data in.
