The topic says it all.
I was starting on this game the other day, but then I found out that my PS1 Memory Card didn't work, bah. :(
I won't have this, I'm gonna play the game anyway and be on the lookout for a PS2 Memory Card.
However, I'm just wondering if I will manage decently without dying?
I'm a very experienced FF player, but will I manage this particular game without saving?
Pretty much yeah, FFX is pretty. Its not adviseable though, what with the chance of missing items you might want, or more importantly, the possibility of power failures / someone turning your console off etc.
I would advise to go play IX (even if you already have) until you get a PS2 mem card.
Though I thought it was common knowledge PS2 games won't save to PS1 mem cards...
There'll be a few bosses that I wager you'll die on. But if you train a lot, then you probably wont.
But its bad for your PS2 to leave it on. Go play FFIX!
lol... I never died, I think FFX is too easy peasy...
I hate the people that post here :eep:
Aaaanyway. Your first time through, I doubt it. OVERLEVEL LIKE CRAZY!
If you're being serious... *winces* You are, are'nt you? i think you should splash the cash on a Ps2 memory card, they're about 20 quid (are you british? American? Other?) Argos sells thoes damm things, i think they've got about 20,000 MB or something...
Give it a try without if you want, Good Luck!
yeh it'll only take u 5 mins to get a ps2 card. but if ur gonna wait till u come across one, then don't play iX, play VII or VIII :D
If you can't get a memory card immediately and are looking for something else to play, I suggest - I warn you, this may seem a little crazy - PLAY A GAME APART FROM FINAL FANTASY. ;) Anyway, I wouldn't recommend that you try to go the whole way through without saving, since one mistake and you'll have lost all of your progress.
Well, it is possible to get through the game without sleeping, but I would recommend spending the 20-30 dollars for a PS2 card or borrow one.
just go on ebay theres memory card bids ending every few minutes, but you shoudnt die much anyway;)
Welcome to 2001, Peter_20!
btw, most PS2 games work the same way.
20 GB memory card? Non-existent.Quote:

You'll need a memory card for just about every other PS2 game, anyway.
I think you will indeed get more out of the game with a card. Although you could probably finish it in around 40 hours, there is a lot more you can do with side quests and the monster arena, ultimate weapons etc. I have saves over 400 hours! Ten times value for money I guess.
:choc::choc::choc:
When I saw the title of this thread I rofl'ed for a good 5 mins, in short yes you really should get a memory card, I remember the first time I played it there was this one boss on Mt. Gagazette that killed me (I hadnt had the slightest bit of trouble at all up to that point) but its always best to be safe then sorry.
haha well i played FFX for the first time without a memory card as well xD I did a rental on FFX. I managed to progress the game without game overs till Lord Ochu.xD I didn't know what to expect xD Ow well...even though i played without MC..it still was evident to me that the game rocked zo I went to buy a Memory Card and the only Non-Platinum version of the game left in the Netherlands the day after xD
Yeah, it wasn't until that point in the game that I got a game over actually.Quote:

Oh....right....thread topic...
Yeah, no memory card would have been a dumb idea...
must have mc if for nothing else then to get better prizes in blitzball
I've never gotten a game over in this game and I still wouldn't attempt it without a memory card. There are too many contingencies (in game and out) that can cause you to lose your progress. It probably won't happen, but you want to be prepared.
YUNALESCA.
You will die.
The worst thing for me was I would play for a while and get stuck not at a boss but at something else. Strange but true. oh and SIn will gravija you into the beforelife!
Also the third fight with (SPOILER)Seymour could quickly give you a game over.
I wouldn't big up the bosses. I don't remember one defeating me first time except Seymour on Mt Gagazet. And that was probably over confidence after repeatedly kicking his arse.
Actually my first game over was from a marlborough, which if you're not prepared (as u may not be as its random) can kill u very easily in a short time. More dangerous than a boss to newbies.
Of course I now know to always carry 1st strike. But anyway u need a card if u dont want to read strategy guides.
:choc::choc::choc:
your not going to make but who cares its your game
And also I think it's just not worth the hassle without a memory card. I mean, I always thought of FFX as a long game (with cut scenes and all, though) For peace of mind, you should try to get a memory card. xDQuote:

Memory Card FTW.
