Hi, fujita. There was no trouble with the battles on my PC, but then again I only played ToD2 for half an hour or so !! ...since I have very little free time, I doubt that I will be playing ToD2 for some time, but, if you could post your memory card with a save in the area where these "problematic" battles occur, then I would gladly test it ... this way we could see if this bug occurs in my computer too, without me having to play for six hours to reach the point where you are now.
Oh, and another thing. You mentioned something about a sound glitch. Is that a speech glitch ? - to be more specific: do you hear (for a splitsecond) the beginning of the next line of dialog, as the current one finishes ? (you can test this very easily, by turning up the volume of VGS, running ToD2, selecting "new game" and listening to the dialog between Reid and Farah). I am trying to verify if this "speech glitch" is a general problem, or occuring on my PC only.
