Final Fantasy VIII

[TripMercy]

So I grew up loving the Final Fantasy games and the eighth installment of the series happens to be my favorite. Anyway, I've gone through about five copies of the game because I keep having the same problem; the first disk freezes up either during the intro CG or during the SEED test. This has happened with every copy I ever owned. So I'm wondering is it just me or has anyone else experienced this. Also, do you think getting the disk buffed would help?

this sounds like a hardware problem.
are there any problems with other games?

The intro freezing happened to my brother. He just cleaned the disc and it worked fine.

[TripMercy]

No other games ever really give me this problem. Penta what did your brother do to clean the disc?

[dirtydav]

water will clean it fine. just make sure you let it dry.

If your using a ps1 or a slim ps2 you can do a swap trick with a burnt copy.

[Penta]

Penta what did your brother do to clean the disc?

Just water.

Thanks for the advice guys, I've been played it for a while on Thursday problem free.

Water is indeed a life saver in such situations. Glad that you played well now.
