    Default Do you ever create a separate save file to always use the temporary characters?

    I remember making a second save file in FFVIII during the Dollet mission. That way, I can play as Seifer whenever I want. Same with the Laguna flashbacks.

    I also did the same thing in FFVII during the Nibelheim flashback so I could use Sephiroth.

    Yes. I used to do this all the time with VII and VIII. I still have those saved files, too.

    >>> I always have a copy of 2 or 3 save files, but is because I fear the corrupted savedata..

    I do it to relive certain scenes, and I usually have 2 or 3 files going in case I accidentally override one

    Not for temporary characters, but my old PS1 memory cards have a save file for each and every date scene in FFVII, 'cause I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.

    No, I don't. I keep saves close to cool happenings, though.

    Seems somehow pointless in its way. Sometimes I keep saves that are just prior to FMVs.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I used to do the same thing to watch certain cut scenes again! I would have SO many save files until I completed the game. The one time that I didn't go crazy with saving was FFVIII. I made it to the final fight and didn't save at the right spot, and I couldn't complete the game.

    I had one for FFIX, just before you get to Dali. It's only purpose was for laughs because I'd only go back to it everytime I thought of something immature/hilarious to name Dagger.

    And another one for FFX in Luca. I liked to replay the first Blitzball game sometimes, because it's the only time Blitzball is ever challenging.
