Games that you abandoned and then managed to finish years later?

Same with Final Fantasy Tactics. GAWD. As a kid I would just grind and do the tavern quests and would burn myself out before following through. Finally ACTUALLY beat it a few years ago. I'm playing it again but in Spanish this time lol. Good excuse to revisit a perfect game. Even if missing healing spells is bullshit.

Just in time for the new one to come out, get ready!

I really want it but I'm already knee deep in it again lmao. I never played the sequels. Maybe I'll actually wait for the inevitable remasters.

I remember Final Fantasy Tactics had a certain choke point where some players abandoned the game. There was a tough boss you could end up fighting unprepared and you were screwed if you didn't have an old enough save to go back to.

Yeah it's got multiple stages and it lets you save between stages. If you don't have a backup and get stuck on a stage you better figure out some miraculous alternate party composition with the tools you gave yourself beforehand or you're indeed screwed.

yeah many of us have experienced that
i had a lone memory card, always almost full of different gamesaves, well the PS1 was a gamer gold period and so yes straight when playing that lol;
i think later in time i had 10 if not more memory cards

for a similar reason i restarted FF7 when on second CD, i missed a lot of materia and my party was also not strong enough; first JRPG title for me, coming from European 8 and 16 bit home computers
