Keep playing after beaten?

[¿?¿Confused¿?¿]

Just wondering, can you play the game on the same file after you have beaten it? I have heard that you can but I wanted to make sure it is true

After you beat the final boss the game ends. In order to continue playing on the file you have to use your save from right before the final battle.

Its the only way to do so im afraid.it sucks a bit though because even though some FFs have new game +'s so in the ones where say none of the main characters dies (excluding aeris of course(the game goes on without her anyway.) uou should be allowed to keep on playing.

[boys from the dwarf]
