Hey guys!So I recently picked up a copy of FF9 on the PS1. Loving it so far but my memory card is full and I didn't realise this till I was like 4 hours into the game. So I've been playing it for like 3 days just leaving the console on while not playing and have ordered a memory card online.

 

And then I got a scary thought as I just reached a boss battle.

If I die is it going to take me back to my 'save' file that I don't have?

 

Googled this and cant find an answer (spoiled something for myself though oops) so does anyone whose played the game know?

hope they just have a 'continue' option! But for an earlier game in the series I somehow doubt it..

 

Also, so the topics not just me seeking answers, what is your fave FF game?

I'm quite fond of FFX, myself.

 

Thanks!

You get taken back to the title screen after a Game Over.

As prower said, you have to reload a save.

can't you save over an old PSOne file? 

and yes it will take you back to the main menu where you'll have to load a save before you died.

Yeah, I would think that you could keep re-saving over your current FFIX file to save the room on the PS1 memory card.  It will take you to the title screen upon death, however, so you'll be left wherever you last saved when uploading your game.

 

I've recently started playing IX myself; great game.  My favorite Final Fantasy, as always, would be VI, but I loved X as well.

 

Good luck!  Glad to hear that you're enjoying the game.

Nah, the only thing it says is that one of my cards simply isn't in the slot so i assume its a ps2 card not a ps1 card, and that the one that does work is full. If i realised it was full before i started playing I would have gone back and deleted old files but that was my mistake </3

Going to have to wait for my ebay order before i get to any harder battles then i guess ahaha.

Never got to save it even once There wasn't ever any memory left.

 

I'll look into VI one day then! That's one I hadn't heard much about when asking around for reccs so I'll definitely look into it

Wow, so you're having to leave it powered on until you get your eBay order?  That stinks!  I think that there is a way to enter settings on the PS2 so that you can control/delete PS1 memory card data.  I would have to do some research on it, but I *think* I have entered the menu to clear it before.  I think it's when there is no game in the PS2 that you can clear data on memory cards, but it's been a while since I've had my PS2 so I can't remember for sure.

 

Also, I think you will greatly enjoy IV if you're enjoying IX.  So far I think they have a very similar feel and some similarities to the world.  VI is my favorite by far because of the plot and characters, though.

I  heard Kefkas a super intimidating character and really interesting villain so it'd certainly be interesting!
