Thanks to a horribly timed power outage, I just lost my game. 90 hours gone. Excuse me real quick:
AAAAARRRRGRGRGRGRGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly no real point to start playing again. I love the game, but to me no real replayability. I was right up near the end, had 90% of the hunts done so not much left that I could do.
did you never save your game?
Hmm...Well I find it hard to believe a power outage could wipe your memory card, it could only of turned off your current game whilst you were playing and therefore you would have only lost a few hours or something before you last saved...So just load your last save file? :)
If you have no save files...Then I guess you learnt your lesson the hard way. =/
I was in the middle of saving when the power went out. You know when it tells you do no hit the power button, yeah that's when it happened. I know it's my fault for not creating backups along the way, but oh well, still just sucks.Quote:

EDIT: beaten.
That sucks. I don't think I'd have the willpower to replay the game for a long time if it happened to me.
Buy a Surge Protector, please. Lieutenant Surge gives them out for free when you defeat his Ryechuuuu~~.
Or not play during a storm. That works, too, since power outage = the lawlz.
:(
Maybe you can try using a save file from Gamefaqs?
It's on a surge prtoector and there is no storm. The entire neighborhood lost power for an hour for some unknown reason.Quote:

EDIT: Try and download a save file like someone suggested. Good luck.
If you need to see what happens, there's always Youtube. I posted some of it already at Youtube, all that's missing is the battle with (SPOILER)Vayne. Other people have posted the entire thing.
Bummer, dude!
Wow, I like your FFXI character :D
that same crap would happen to me with my older FFs, only there wouldn't be a power outage or anything. for one, one of my FFVII files got corrupted and wouldn't load after i beat the game. my FFIV for SNES file got erased after not playing it for about a week. my FFIX file got corrupted for no damn reason either!
wow FF hates ur life and u should just give up on life
Was that a joke? Or are you actually heartless? :D
That happened to me too. :) Power came out when I was saving. :(
You'll get in the mood again... Happened to me I pouted.. But wasen't long until I got into it again.
I think I just might try that low level challenge thing. Don't knwo though. Would really like to get the new zelda for Wii and that would kill any time I would have for this.
