    But yeah, spend the cash on a memory card. FFX is easy to finish, but one wee mistake and you'll die, its game over, and all those hours spent on in-game progress and levelling will have been a waste.

    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.

    FFXIV Character

    Legendary Hero (Sargatanas)

    Default

    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.

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.

    But yeah, you could've managed a good while into the game before you needed one, but it'll be a much more enjoyable game now you can save. Enjoy FFX!

    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.

    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.

    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. xD
    wheee!

    It is not a good idea to leave your playstation on for 40+ hours.

    It is also not healthy to sit in front of a television for 40+ hours.

    Memory Card FTW.
