sagman12PC 280 Posted January 30, 2019 Don't understand why we only get 9 save slots. I understand the game is large in terms of file size but if you've got a terabyte drive in your system space isn't a concern. I hope we get 99 save slots patched in the future.

cyntix 53 Posted January 30, 2019 I think it is because of the photos. Like for FFXV (yeark). Games that have in-game save menu have one file on the ps4 (for the 9 slots). Thus, you need to know the size in advance. If you have only data: 99 slots is small, but if you save pictures as well, then you need to allocate 500mb per slot in advance. That's why it is written 50gb needed on disc even though the game is 40gb. 10gb is for the save file that is preallocated to contain all the pictures. But I agree, it SUCKS!

JTD95 1,107 Posted January 30, 2019 Can't you just make another user on your PS4 and thus get 9 more slots for that user? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystics Apprentice 2,397 Posted January 30, 2019 That is interesting that only nine slots are available, since it is saving onto the drive and not a game cartridge. Still beats the 2-3 save files of, say, DS or N64 games, though it's a shame that it is limited. I only just got my PS4 so I don't know how it all works yet, but is there a way to save "save files" onto an external drive? I remember doing this with my PS3, so I figured it may be an option with the PS4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To practice for bosses. LVL1 proud is trash right now with absolute chip damage and you need to learn patterns to master fights. You cannot do this with only 9 slots. 2 Karxrida and JTD95 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ventus_ 396 Posted January 31, 2019 I don't care. I'm not into level 1 runs, speed runs and the other likes, so I don't even need 9 slots let alone 99. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A frankly unfun challenge, but some people are masochists. Plus it might get patched to be actually functional in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
