Dug into this a bit last night, and it looks like my knockoff older generation Super Everdrive (or its shitty quality SD card) somehow corrupted a save, as for every other game, there is only one save file, but somehow for Lufia 1 and 2, there were 2, and the second one for each had a weird corrupted string for a name that I couldn’t even delete off the card. Now, when this happened in Lufia 1, I was able to recover it OK, though it did set me back like an hour or so. Annoying, but not the worst. This time though, it set me back…20 hours.

So I formatted the SD card to get rid of the corrupted saves, and am going to play it again in a day or two because I really like it. I think the thing to do is be sure to play a different game every once in a while, as that will force the Everdrive to dump the save to memory, instead of leaving it on the flash, which is the opposite of what I had been doing, whoops.

In the break, I started playing Brandish 2 again, so maybe I will be Falcom posting again soon, because that game rocks. Takes the general structure of 1 and then makes it into a game with some thing resembling a story, whereas 1 is basically just straight dungeon crawl. I just got to the Kraken boss, which the best way to beat is literally save scumming in the game, because Falcom are fucking weirdos.

Actually you need to move left and right three spaces too. But the shrine is super super short. As shown in this video

Lol, that was definitely the place then. I couldn’t figure out where to.move. Oh well, I will be there again. And maybe my game won’t glitch!
