This really will only bother you if you played the Japanese version.

Kids these days it's always now, now, now. This game will finally teach you patience.Yes, many reviewers complain about it... and yes, I bet you're going to say "It's not that bad", but... good god, the loading times in Birth by Sleep is actually quite lengthy even with the data install. I installed the full 600mb [or whatever the highest you can install] and it's still quite lengthy. It 'loads' when you try to access the menu, the cutscenes have some lengthy load times between each and... loading between areas.
I can understand loading between areas. But I hate the cutscenes and menus for the simple fact it 'loads' and it feels like the data install doesn't help. I can't help comparing it to the Japanese version in which I had it on CFW on download and it was quick and seamless for me. It makes me wish that Square-Enix did release a digital download version because as much as owning a 'box' is nice, at least with a download, loading times are quicker and I don't have to listen to that hissing sound from the UMD that drive me nuts.
It makes me want to agree with Gamespot. It deserves a fucking lower score just for the painful loading times.
...At least it's better than Kingdom Hearts II and Days.
i can see why it would load alot considering that they added mysterious figure into the game. for me, i think it loads like any other PSP game. i didn't expect it to load very fast.
I personally found the load times quite helpful they gave me time to reflect on a huge cut-scene or to relax after a boss fight.
