That happened to me when I faced that squid guy in FFX that got like 4 moves on you right when the battle started and most of the time they were all things that affected your characters very badly.

Gah, such painful memories. While I loved it in the end, I never stopped to think what the D-Counter in the corner was actually warning me against, and finding out it's purpose when I'm about to finish the game only made it worse.
I guess that's what I get for rushing.

Battery being dead > Game lock-up > Dying before a save point in the suck ass meter.
How much time did you lose/have to make up, Bud?

Didn't use to happen to me, but now it seems to happen in every RPG, much the same as how I now suck at platformers despite being a master of the genre in my younger years. I, too saved my Jade Empire game every 2 minutes (after every 2 or three battles, or before a major one. I hate when you get dragged across a difficult dungeon, only to fall halfway through without a save point since the beginning, especially when the dungeon gets progressively difficult at the end (I'm looking at you Star Ocean III).
Ha ha, I know where that is. While I was waiting to start a mission and before going to bed (in the game), I decided to check the town out and saw the mines. I was alone at the time, though, so I should have known better. However, despite the massive group of rats that attacked, I did win a few battles with them by playing the attack and run game.BuddyC said:

Yeah well Makai Kingdom kicked my ass yesterday. You can now equip characters in buildings and spawn the build. Problem is, since the dungeons are randomly created I was spawned in a place where a building could not be placed and so I could not invite my team causing me to reset if I wanted to replay which cost me a hour of time plus the rare items I found You would think they would not let the game create a dungeon that prohibited the user from playing, h well.

But yes, that's certainly horrible. Reminds me of the time I was helping my little brother in FF7, about fifteen hours in, and I went to save for him. Not thinking, I overwrote my one save, my only save, the one that had over a hundred hours put into it and was only at the beginning of disc four. I wept
I'm a compulsive saver. Games like Pokemon I save every three minutes or so for fear of a game lockup. My brother, conversely, doesn't seem to know what saving is. He plays Pokemon Emerald for SIX HOURS on the Gb Player training and catching pokemon, EV training them, etc. There's a power surge. He didn't save. Once.
I felt like smacking him over the head for being such an idiot (in fact, come to think of it, I did)

I've been saving like mad in DDS after having to redo the Brutes' base due to my incompetence, right now I'm doing some leveling up running around in circles in front of a karma terminal so I don't get screwed like I have in the past.
