weren't there 4 discs for FF7 ?


On the PC yeah, there was an install disk to go with the 3 standard game disks.

Its always annoyed me really as it took up 400mb of HD, which at the time was a lot! Yet the playstation version played without problem from a 2x CD-ROM!

Mm.

It never really bothered me all that much; I found scene transitions much faster on the PC; especially the start of battles.

FF8 came on 4 discs on the PSX, and five (4 game + install) on the PC - again, I think it performed better on the PC, provided you had at least the minimum spec for the game with a 4MB 3D card, it ran fine.

FF8 looked awesome on the PC due to the high res videos, it was deffinately a far better conversion than FF7.
