Okay, so I can't load my game. I was at the point

Okay, so I went ahead and bought the PSN version. It was painful, but if I'm right then it's better than starting over and throwing away those 70 hours. And if I'm wrong...

I've never had that happen but most likely something happen to the disk during the fall or even to the PSP itself. If it was the PSP if you have your stuff on a card you'd be fine, if it was the disk I suppose a digital copy is what to do. I would have seen if I could have rented another disk to see if it was that before I went into a rush to buy tho.

Yes, it would have been a much smarter idea to rent another copy and see if that worked. That and I had not considered the possibility that the PSP itself would be the cause(though I would hope that a $200 dollar product would survive a short fall, but you can't tell with technology now can you). But I am an impulsive man in a society of instant gratification god dammit, so I took the risk. And what do you know, I was right! Score one for rushed, ill thought out purchases. Though I do lament the $80 I have now spent on this system. Thank you for your time, ladies and gents. Thank you.

You're lucky it wasn't that the save was corrupted, or that would really suck D:
 
Have you beaten it before?

I beat FES, but this is my first time through Portable. And I was pretty sure that the save itself wasn't corrupted, because it wasn't showing up as "Corrupted Data" and the system was able to access it(kept saying "load successful" etc). It was pulling the data off the disc that was the problem.
