Well shit. Thanks for terrifying the hell out of me, Volls. Now I've gotta go double-up my Xenogears save files once I get off work and pray to God that it doesn't happen to me, wasting nearly 70 hours of my free time in the process.

I have had the game lock up on me before, though. Every time it's happened I was in the middle of a nearly five-hour leveling-up process. Does the game exhibit those glitches when played on a PS1? I've only played it on my PS2, and so I wouldn't know if the lock-ups exist when played on the other console.

This is just one more reason why everyone should own a Gamecube. Much sturdier console. Plus, Pikmin 2 is coming out soon and I can't wait.
