[quote name='Zmonkay']so, I'm close to the end of FFIV (on the moon) and I decided to look up a FAQ to see just how close I was. Apparently I missed out on a decent number of side quests (sylph cave, extra summons, yang, etc)... THIS is why I hate playing RPGs without guides or FAQs, too much is missable unless you randomly visit every location after each main game event...[/QUOTE]
Do a lot of games do this? I very rarely even check what I missed. It seems like a lot of games give you a pretty obvious "This is the point of no return" warning, so you can leave a save before it.
Every time I play a Suikoden game, I save off my game every 5 hours. Then once I beat it, I go back as far as I need to and collect all the characters. This is really the only series that I can think of where I worry about missables.
