RPGs like these require to save very often, don't act like it's an oddity to save every 5 minutes.
Players of the PC version, for which the game was designed, do just that.
It's often quoted as a motto of PC RPG gaming, and reviews for the game even state it plainly: "Save often!"
There are plenty of times when you get ambushed by stronger enemies coming from all sides and attacking from afar, and die suddenly.
I'm not the only one who has pointed to the rigid save procedure.
And again, if you look at other recent RPGs like Fallout NV, it has a much more accessible save menu (in addition to non-disrupting checkpoints each time when you enter and get out of every building). Same thing for Gothic 4.
If other games do it, then it must be of interest to a fair number of consumers.
It is an oddity. Why? because Dragon Knight Saga is just not as hard as Ego Draconis. You don't need to save every five minutes. Making it something you do out of habit than neccesity. Hell even in Fallout I didn't save every five minutes, which was in general a tougher game if you got too far ahead of yourself.
You're also trying to compare the mentality of PC gamers, due to what they are used to on a PC, to console gamers. That just doesn't really cut it here. Not everyone has this stop/start mentality of gaming to the point where they have OCD as to whether they saved the game or not.
You say the save system is inaccessible? What's so hard about pressing Start, pressing Save, and choosing a file to overwrite (which alot of Xbox 360 games also do)? If you are literally stopping and starting eveyr five minutes to save your game you should have no problem with the game saving the cursor point in the main menu for you seems you can use the RS and LB/RB to access potions etc from your inventory, and press Select for your Map. You don't pick great loot up that often to be in the inventory 24/7 either.
Sorry, I feel for you if it bothers you, but I just don't see how in any way it's "inaccessible" (which more describes it as unusable) or as cumbersome as you try to make it out to be.
