I had to restart my game of Final Fantasy Tactics when I couldn't get past the one on one battle with Wiegraf(?). I saved right before the fight and suddenly I was up against a guy that was infinitely more powerful that me, I didn't have the skills needed to beat him (Auto-Potion and Yell), there was no way for me to go back and level up, and it wasn't one of those fights that you were supposed to lose.
I hated how you couldn't skip through dialogue scenes in Xenogears too. I had to fight a pair of bosses (two fights against The Elements, which were preceded by a 15-20 minute cutscene, with another 5 minute scene between fights) at least 8 times before I beat them, why couldn't I just restart the battle after I died instead of starting at the last save point?
Come to think of it, the whole idea of Save Points in console RPGs pisses my off. Why shouldn't I be allowed to save wherever I want?
