Anyone else miss multiple disks for JRPGs?

An element of its time perhaps. There definitely was something special and satisfying about switching those discs, it just made you feel like you were really getting somewhere and accomplishing something. I don't know if I miss it exactly, but it's certainly nothing I have or ever will complain about when I'm doing my retro gaming. Good times.

The Star Ocean 4 thing is laughable though, that I hate. I'm pretty sure I've played a newer game that did that as well, talk about annoying.

And yeah, as for the cart thing... yikes. I remember hearing it cost like ~$5 to make an N64 cart (don't quote me on that), and I'll never forget those brand new $70 N64 games. Hot damn.

I loved having the weight of the double case ps1 games. It added a physical dimension to the epicness of the game ahahah. And the moment the game would say insert disc 2 I always felt like things were going to get more intense.

Also, don't forget multiple covers for the disks . My PC copy of FF8 has 5 disks, so I have Edea, Squall, Rinoa, Seifer and...(opens up box)...Laguna.

As yes, definitely loved the multiple covers.

And yet, when they released FF13 on the 360, which came on 3 disks, they just had the logo on each disk....FAIL. Heck the PS3 version had Lightning on the 1 it had disk.

Same thing going on with me. When a game had multiple discs, it was just like "oh shit..." It was awesome. But at the same time, I think one of the PS3's coolest features is it's ability to fit entire games on one disc.

I miss the reign of JRPGs, but I don't miss the disc swapping.

Word.

I never gave a shit about disc swapping. Everytime I got to the middle of Star Wars Rebel Assault 2, I just went: "Gotta put the second disc in."

I guess I kind of agree with everyone else here: It was cool back then for various reasons, but I don't really miss it.
