hoping this doesn't happen later but near the start of the game when your coming down from uziki's house in the mountains (first gear fight in the game), the entire scene in the village up to and after the cutscene are nothing but a black screen... well, it does change colors but its just blank while the speach boxes for everyone works fine, same in the fight.
anyone know a solution? if i can solve this now it'd save trouble later on in case something similar happens later in the game (can't play with the screen blank obviously)
just passed that section and aside from the above problem it looks to be working normally, i've no clue why that section messes up in that way
------------------------
got another problem similar to the above one, i just reached the sargasso underwater cave area (near the end of disc 1) and after entering the dungeon i can't see a thing, even the compass isn't visible.
long story short upon entering the dungeon the entire screen is black, its normal when you bring up the menu (square button) but otherwise a blank black screen, anyone know a solution? can't finish the game till i get through this dungeon and i can't do that as is so i'm stuck till this problem is solved (never even beat this game before)
