This is so frustrating...I may have to give up on this fantastic game!
So I have the PS1 version of Final Fantasy V on my PSP (I have V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX all on my PSP, like a baws), which has this pretty gnarly save glitch. Basically, when you go to the save menu, the whole thing messes up much like the sketch glitch from Final Fantasy VI. well, no problem...exit the menu, return, repeat until it works. Okay, that's not that big of a deal, I'll survive. Well, I learned the hard way that rarely (maybe 1 in 100 save attempts), the whole thing freezes up and you can't save your game period. Well, I just did an entire dungeon and beat the boss, stealing the VERY hard to steal Gengi Helmet....only to leave (two hours or progress since my last save, including two boss battles that each took half an hour)...to have the game freeze on me and reset the system.

FURIOUS!
and now I have to play two review games, including Growlanser IV on the Vita, and I REALLY don't want to not finish Final Fantasy V becuase other than the save glitch it's an absolutely phenomenal game (I'd put it on par with the excellent Final Fantasy IV), but realistically I'm on a deadline to finish this other RPG that I know will take a while, and I know deep down inside that if I leave Final Fantasy V to play it...I likely won't return, becuase once I move on, I rarely ever return to a game.
What do?
I'm thinking I'll keep both my Vita and PSP on me to finish up the last few hours of FFV (I have a few dungeons to finish before I head to fight ExDeath) as I intersperse it with bits of Growlanser and Retro Grade.
Then later in the month I have Rock Band Blitz, and maybe Papo and Yo.
