I'm trying to quicksave my way through the Walse basement to get the Elven Mantle without fighting Jackanapes like I do every year, and I'm running into the Save File Corruption problem, which has never happened before. I know this is a known thing, I'm just curious if there's more information about this - can I somehow manipulate it to work for me again, or is my quicksave function just dead forever?
I'm playing a real US cart on a DS Lite. I've tried it about 8 times or so now, and I'm going crazy here. I know I should probably just let it go, but I really want that thing.
Edit: OK I figured this out actually. After trying several more times, I tried the one thing I KNOW is different on this play through vs past ones - my classes. My "Wind" job is Ninja, which means I'm using four Freelancers right now. I switched everyone to other random jobs, and it worked fine, even with me using the quicksave maybe 7 times to avoid battles.
I'm a bit torn on whether or not it's ethically OK to keep this file though now or to go back to my save right before. On one hand, yes despite getting into no battles, I did indeed use other classes. But on the other hand, this bug doesn't even exist in the European version, so I could have easily gotten that stuff with my Freelancers in that scenario. Hmm..
