Responding to this:
Yeah, I know sometimes save points can be annoying sometimes, particularly when your team is battered and needs healing ASAP. Or you just got done with an annoying event that you don’t want to do over again. Or you just got a nice item and don’t want to lose it. However you slice it, it’s nice to go back to a fully charged, all healed up team if things go wrong. That’s partially why I like games that allow you to save anywhere, either in one location or in the whole game.
With set save points, despite all their annoyances; you learn to be resourceful and how to plan ahead. Once you learn where the annoying enemies are and how to effectively fend them off, and ration your hi-potions so you have enough for the boss, spread out save points are not quite as annoying. If they are too spread out, then we have a problem.
Happy gaming,
