… on FFXII before I get bored and stop?

I DON’T KNOW, ERIC.

The game seems pretty cool, but I just kept dying. Usually that’s not a problem. However, I die after I dedicate several hours without saving. BIG MISTAKE. When one plays an epic RPG, one should ALWAYS SAVE. Well, on these occasions I didn’t, and I got really frustrated and gave up.

I think I’ll give it one more go. I really don’t feel like starting it all the way over from the beginning. I think I’m like 2-3 hours in on my last save. Will I have the patience and determination to actually finish this? It depends. If the story and gameplay get REALLY good, then I’ll be hooked to finish it. If it gets really boring, I’ll pretty much put it down and not go back to it… examples are FF VIII and The Legend of Dragoon. I got pretty far in FF VIII actually, but by the 4th disc I was already tired of it and didn’t really feel the need to beat it for the ending. I dunno. I might have finished it, but I don’t remember it like I remember finishing FF VII.

Got any tips that could help me get through the game faster? (Other than NOT dying and to always save)

I’m still taking questions to answer, so ask them in the comments for this post. And try asking a question with more… I dunno… depth? Something I can write a longer post to.
