Yeah, there's a LOT of extra **** in the game that takes a lot of disc memory.
Pretty much it is just the cutscenes that make the game 4 discs.
If you think about it, every play area is accessible on pretty much every disc. So that takes up a set amount of space on each disc, and the rest is just cutscenes for the different events on each disc.
On disc four
Whom did you all use for your party? I'm going with Kaim,Seth,Sed, and Ming. The other spot I just rotate between Tolten & Cooke.
I should use Sarah but I like Ming more.
I can't even remember. Let's think... I had Kaim, Seth, Jansen, Ming and Sarah pretty much at all times. I hated the kids, and if I absolutely had to I'd throw Sed in. I didn't think much of the King whose name I can't remember either.
The party worked well, especially during the later levels.
