Hi,

I'd like to get into running Final Fantasy VII, but I have a question about the "fast disc speed" option on the PS2: How much time does it save over the course of an any% run?

For various reasons, I thought I'd start by practising with a PS1 emulator, but I noticed that I was already two seconds behind PS2 players after the opening FMV. I'm not expecting to challenge the top of the leaderboard any time soon but it would still be useful to know how much time I'm giving away by not being able to play the game on a PS2. Does the fast disc speed setting only speed up FMV loading times or other things as well? If it's the former, it should be easy to calculate - I could do it myself - but if it's the latter, it will be much more difficult, if not impossible.

Thanks.
