Was anyone else offended by the way Final Fantasy VII Remake handled having 2 discs?

I played the PS4 version of FFIX recently and was thrown off by the lack of disc switching splash screens.

NGL, swapping discs does make me feel nostalgic. It's cool to see the disc swap as a "here's where things are getting real."
Playing FF9 on Switch definitely felt like there was "something" missing by not having the disc swaps. I miss them :(
I suspect they have all the prerendered video on the play disk and that can be streamed without installing.

When people think that turn-based battle systems were made due to hardware limitations and a product of their time, and can't understand why anyone would want to play a game like that in modern times.
I know now how they feel after reading that OP.

Nothing is streamed from disc this generation. You can start the game after the data disc finishes installing and the play disc keeps installing the rest in the background. Afterwards, Play Disc is just the one you need to verify your license and start the game. It doesn't really matter which one they make the play disc but it can't be both because I suppose that could be abused (like, install the game on another person's PS4 and then both keep one disc each to play the game).
No, I don't particularly miss swapping disks. Just like I don't miss loading games on C64 casettes, not even with how awesome some of those loaders were (I just check those from Youtube when I thirst nostalgia and banger tracks).
This was funny joke about disk swapping btw

It actually reads the pre rendered videos on the disc IIRC
It doesn't, it's all read from the HDD. Play disc is just the one you need for license verification to boot up the game.
I think this forum is completely incapable of being light-hearted at this point.
I wonder how old is OP? Because you kinda showed your age by being "offended" for having to deal with a multi disc game.... imagine if you were around during the PS1 era.....
OP, TLOU2 does the exact same thing I guess you haven't played it otherwise it'd be strange to not mention it.
Can imagine how people would be complying to having switch disc for this game.
It's 2020 and I have to switch disc? Get on with the times SE!
Something like that.
True.

This reminds me of a friend whose favorite media are tapes: cassette tapes and VHS tapes.
Imma tell you the same thing I told her: you're insane, fucking move on.

Finally someone made a thread about this. I'm with you OP. Disappointed that the cut-off for disc one wasn't chapter 9 and then it'd have you switch to disc two after that amazing chapter.
