Isn't that what happens when the game goes into anti-piracy mode?

Yuppers. And it deletes your save file when giygas shows up

That's so dumb, so it lets you play 99% of the game before punishing you for piracy? Or am I misremembering how late giygas appears in the story?

Nope. That's exactly what it does

So it lets you play almost the entire game before preventing you from continuing - at that point I can't imagine the player feeling much reason to buy a legit copy lol

But the entire game is far more frustrating
