I broke a 60+ hour save gave of Final Fantasy XII when I was a teen by only having one save, and saving between boss phases in one of the optional boss fights that apparently I wasn’t prepared for (and probably never should have beat phase 1). It would not let me leave, and the only way out was through. And it was a loooooong fight. Like I’d fight him for 90 mins and then die.
I must have spent at least 30 hours trying every single gambit strategy I knew to fight my way out of there but it was no use. Still never beat that game.
Since then I have like at least 5 separate saves when I play a JRPG.
That just reminded me of a horrible time I had with metal gear revengence. Near the end on your way to the boss you have things thrown at you that you’re supposed to use the games slicing gimmick to break, but my game bugged and I couldn’t rotate the blade so by the time I got to the boss I had a small sliver of HP left…
Took like 4 hours to beat him and then during the cutscene that happens just as you’re beating him the game froze…
