Xenogears had an infamous freezing spot with PS2's as well.

You guys who are having freezing when playing on a PS2? Are you playing with the smooth textures and enhanced loading on? also what playstation driver do you have, mine is 1.11

Didn't know you could even change settings. Huh.

Whatever the case I already moved onto playing it on my PS1. As if the PS2 freezing wasn't bad enough, I lost another 20-ish minutes of playtime on my PS1 because I got stuck in a wall! Damn CD games will be the death of me. It's back to carts after this.

Anyway, I'm in some valley with giant leaves now and Sue is missing!!!

18-ish hours in. Four characters in my party now, though I can tell the fourth will be temporary due to his insanely inflated stats. I have three characters with water (healing) magic, which is nice. Gonna do some more magic grinding tonight. :lol:

All this freezing talk makes me wonder why I didn't simply play this on ePSXe. That's how I've been playing most PS1 stuff lately. Oh well.

Oh man...don't do the magic grinding until just a bit later. There is a section where healing grinding can be done en masse! You are almost caught up to me! Hooray!!! Poison rivers for the win!

Man I'm behind. 8 hours in... But not really 8, i play while watching the Cavs so the controller gets put down often.
I just joined the Adventurer club and cleared the path to Feena's house. I saved in New Parm after giving Sue water and earth magic.
Any advice while i try too catch up to you guys?
