Hey y'all,
I've been meaning to write a post about this for a while, but it keeps slipping my mind until now. I get really annoyed when games do not have save points. The majority of non-RM games I play do have save points, so I am used to relying on them, not having to save just whenever I think about it. I'm glad that RM lets you save anywhere by default, but you could at least put some reminder to save before a boss or after a long cutscene. In most commercial RPGs, save points let me know when the challenge is going to increase (i.e., a boss fight is up ahead) or to let me know that a cutscene is about to happen, so I know if it's a good time to to take a bathroom break or call it quits for the night. They help me pace my the experience, and, most importantly, they remind me to save so I don't have to replay the same 20 minutes of game play!
Thank you
