Title: Enjoyable game in the beginning, load times kill it.
Review: This was one of the first games I had for PS2. In the beginning it was fun and I really didn't mind the now tedious load times. But after running back and forth from city to city and going between zones in the castle, I couldn't bear to play the game any more. The game needs to load: 1) when entering battle (from the world map), 2) when leaving a city and going to the world map, 3) when entering a city from the world map, and 4) sometimes in the cities and dungeons between zones. As I said, in the beginning it doesn't really bother you, but when you're looking for a certain person and can't remember which city they're in or which zone of the castle they're in, it gets frustrating watching the game load constantly.
