Please Insert Disc 3.

On the way home from work yesterday, I realized something.

You remember the old Final Fantasy games, that came on multiple discs?

Heavensward is basically Disc 3.

FFXIV was Disc one. ARR was Disc 2. HW is Disc 3.

Please Insert Disc 3.

Imagine if FFXIV is available on the Xbox 360.

Please insert Disc 1 to enter Limsa Lominsa...

Please insert Disc 12 to enter Ishgard...

I remember that there were Final Fantasy games which actually required you to change to older discs if you went to a certain location. I think FFVIII did that.

I know this thread is silly, but I literally started screaming at myself when I realized this last night.

I'm stumped... is this a reference to something? If so its lost on me :(

I apologize, but how old are you?

This is a genuine question. This is a reference to Final Fantasy games on the PS1. FFVII, FFVIII and FFIX all came on multiple discs.

...Light, I feel old.

still remember having like 6 floppy disk for mortal kombat 2 or so on my amiga 500+ now that was a pain switching like 3 of them after every match haha

Yeah i remember having to swap disks during FF, it was when you progressed so far in the storyline that you needed to as certain FMS/cutscenes/dialoge only existed on spefic disks. The game world/locations were on all of them if i remember right.

Oh remember how you could stop the random enouters on VII in the Northern Creator (i think), when you had to pass that ravine by timing it to avoid wind sheer as it spawned a fight, if you opened the disk tray you could continue without fights if you got hit (no data to load haha), just close again when your passed and continue on :p
