I bought Anthologies around the time it came out. My ps2 is only 3 or 4 months old. I doubt that I have bad memory.

I bought Anthologies the day that it came out because I'm obsessed with FFVI. The load times are so long that I'd shoot myself in the face before I'd get to Tritoch.

Maybe the European version of the game is faster. I've never heard any rumours to that extent though.

Everyone says the anthology load times are terrible...I'll admit they are not super fast, but they are not so bad that you go crazy waiting for the game. I think maybe people exaggerate a little when they say how slow the game is. I have played the anthology version a million times, and it never occured to me that it was too slow. I was just mad about the fact that they didn't include all the characters in the beginning FMV. I was looking forward to seeing Locke, and Strago, and Relm....oh well. Still a great game, no matter how you look at it.

Locke's apparently included, but you don't get to see his face.

I've timed the loading time when I'm going into battle and it literally takes 15-20 seconds for a battle to load. That is just rediculous. And I know it is not just my machine or game because others have had the exact same problems and aren't exaggerating on the load times.

Compared to the old SNES loading times of about a second, Anthologies is a royal pain in the ass. You would think with a faster machine (ps2 or playstation) you'd be able to get atleast CLOSE to the same loading times as the SNES...

Not apparently, he IS there. You see the back of his head. ;o

Yeah, I wouldn't know 'cause I've never seen the FMV.
