When I was a child, I discovered JRPGs through Final Fantasy 9 on PS1. I was blown away and I would spend hours upon hours playing this game, until I progressed until it asked me to insert disk 4. To my horror, Disk 4 was scratched and didn't work. That was the last time I played a final fantasy game

I had a similar experience reading a book. Someone ripped out the last page and I never knew what became of the Hungry Catepillar. Never read a book again.

Same exact thing happened to me! Except it was a VHS recording of Debbie Does Dallas. My buddy's friend's cousin didn't stop recording during the commercials, so the movie cuts off before the big climax.
