Today I was playing FF7 - had just gotten to Nibleheim again and had saved outside the town. Went inside and got the basement key - went to get Vincent but chose the wrong answers. Naturally, I used soft reset to try and get back to the save quickly, but when I tried loading the save file it said that the data was ruined.

This has happened to me when I played FF8 as well, after using the soft reset buttons. Im not sure but this may be a side effect of using the soft reset? I say this with no real proof, and Im not saying soft reset is a bad thing but it has happened now 4 times altogether to me.

I would like to make it clear that I used soft resets many times before - my ruined save only occurred today.

This happened to anyone before? Got any ideas how/why it happened? What do you all think?
