You dont look after your disk. Happened to mine I ended up getting 2 scratched up disk 1's and switching in this sequence when it froze. Took me at least 3 hours just to start a new game.

thats the main annoying thing, you have to wait ages to restart, but i suppose since its a good game its kinda worth it, is it any quicker on the ps2? i have only tried it on the ps1

The first copy of FF8 that I bought also kept crashing at the main intro sequence. I had to take the game back to the store and exchange it for another one, and 3 hours to start up a game? I would have just bought a new copy of the game.

I remember something went wrong with my copy on the movies when I first got it. Had to get a replacement.
Ho-hum, such is life.

Yea the exact time it crashes on the intro is immediately as squall's sword digs in the ground.
