That would suck so bad! It looks like it's two cases deep too, so that's like a hundred discs. I really hope this doesn't happen.

Keep in mind that despite its incredible level of graphical sophistication FF12 only filled up 1/2 of a regular DVD. So by filling up a Dual-Layer DVD there is 4x the space that was used.

So if we are talking 4 disks (which FF8 was), there is 16x the space that FF12 took up, which is the ballpark, I as an outside observer who doesn't know anything about game encoding, would estimate it to be.

It’s all about how efficiently they code it. (I'm so going to get burned for saying this...) A game like FF12 used 1/2 a DVD, whereas Star Ocean 3 used 2 DVDs. And it certainly appears as if FF12 is a noticeable more graphically advanced game.

It'd be nice to return to the days of multi-disc Final Fantasy games xD

If only it was on the PS2, like it was going to be originally. >:(

You're a funny character. I doubt it would there would be that many discs and I never heard of a demo cominghere and for the 360. I think one of the staff would've announced that if that were the case. But like everyone knows multi- disc is inferior in the fact that the odds of having a defective or scratched disc is increased. I am well aware the same thing could happen with a blu ray disc, but its's more scratch resistant and it could be highly frustrating playing a game halfway through to only find out that the 3rd disc is scratched.

This is almost guranteed for frustration if you buy it used too.

I dislike the multi-disc and that is the reason why I have 4 copies of Final Fantasy IX and two of VIII. I don't have any multiple copies of any of the PS2 generation FFs.

I think it'd be cool to go back to muli-disc gaming. That just means you're getting a game well worth your money 'cause it's so long. I just don't want this one to be multi-disc 'cause you'll be changing discs every five minutes.

There is also that feeling of accomplishment you get when you move on to the next disk. I liked that.

The worst part about disk switching is getting up. The disk switch usually comes after one of the hardest and longest bosses yet and a long cut scene and I got comfortable.
