The PlayStation release was originally intended to be just a single CD game, however a last minute oversight with the size of the game's audio caused it to be shipped as a two-disc game. Though it could've been possible to reprogram the audio algorithms so it could all fit into a single 700 MB disc, as development was already behind schedule it was too late to do this, meaning higher manufacturing and shipping costs on an already tight budget.

The game's director, Hideki Kamiya, has attributed the decision and error to his youth and recklessness at that point in his career.
