When you first start, the game warns you that there's no autosave, and then withholds manual saving until about an hour in the game, after a boss fight. Oh, and it doesn't really teach you how to do the boss fight, or tutorialise the combat very well. So if you die, you're starting that first hour again from the start. Well, no, Square Enix and Platinum, I'm not doing it.

It's quite a while since I played a game that's so openly hostile to the player. I'm only grateful that I found out early so I didn't waste more time on it.

Personally I didn't find it hostile to the player at all, that might just be an issue on your part buddy. the game heals for you the whole opening sequence and it doesn't save because it's the tutorial that you should be able to clear easily (even for someone as bad at games as I am).
