Final Fantasy 8 keeps crashing how can I fix it?

Question

Hi I'm playing through Final Fantasy 8 on the PSX for and I get to the point where Squall rescues Rinoa from the Sorceress Memorial. But when It goes to the FMV/cutscene of them hugging each other the game just freezes and won't get any further. I can hear the playstation still working as if it is trying to read it but I have left it for 30 minutes and only made a tiny bit of progress.

Is there any way I can skip this cutscene? Or how can I fix the disk so it will read properly?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you can't skip any cutscenes.  There are disk repair kits out there, but I've never found one that works well.  You might as well get a new copy of the game if you can find one.  Or at least a new copy of that disk.

I ended up getting 3 copies of that game (4 if you count my PC version)  Weird though, it was always disk 2 that broke.

Anyway good luck.
