I still to this day get upset that I’ve never been able to fully play through Legend of Dragoon because BOTH COPIES I managed to find in my little hometown had Disc 3s that were too scratched to be read even after multiple attempts to repair them.
Yeah that was the real problem with hot swappable discs. The kids who actually physically performed that operation were often too impatient and careless to put the disc somewhere safe from scratching, because they wanted to immediately get back to playing.
the same thing happened to me with Suikoden 2. My dad bought a copy off eBay, not knowing it was a 2 disc game so I never got to finish it. Naturally I had to buy it when 1 & 2 were rereleased.
