Nope. It was pretty normal for multi disc games. Once you got so far, the game would give you a "insert disc X" screen," where you'd hot swap the discs and keep playing. I remember FF on PSX doing this.

    I still to this day get upset that I've never been able to fully play through Legend of Dragoon because BOTH COPIES I managed to find in my little hometown had Disc 3s that were too scratched to be read even after multiple attempts to repair them.

    Yeah that was the real problem with hot swappable discs. The kids who actually physically performed that operation were often too impatient and careless to put the disc somewhere safe from scratching, because they wanted to immediately get back to playing.
