Final Fantasy IX (9) was specially egregious, but not because of the scale per se. The game was split into 4 discs, the overworld flying ship was not available well into disc 3 or 4, and some dungeons are LOCKED OUT after you reach disc 4, exactly because you'd need to load CD 1 or 2 or 3 again, and some world event (giant roots) was created with the single purpose of locking those dungeons away. If the game was published today for a ps4 or ps5 (a remake, yes?), it would be all in a single blu-ray or a digital download, with no reason to split into 4 discs or lock the dungeons at all.

Combine that with Loads and Loads of Loading and this game begs for a remake in a single disc, at least.

... It's empty. Is it supposed to be empty? Like, did there used to be something here? Because it's indexed and everything.

No, but the history says nothing about where it went.
