Quicksave

The Quicksave option in the pause menu was an addition to the portable remakes of the early Final Fantasies, and in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. It allows for the player to cease play at any point and resume when s/he wishes, but the downside is that the save is only temporary (i.e. it is wiped when it is re-loaded). As such, if the party falls in battle, the game will not return to a previous Quicksave, because if you are playing the game, there can be no Quicksave; instead you will either be forced to revert to your last actual save game, or to restart from the begining if no save exists.
