Tales of the Abyss Gameplay bug!

[john220]

I wonder i'm the only one who have this bug? I tried different pcsx2 versions with no result. Initially i played with undub patch, but i also try USA version with my save file, still got the same. Is it possible to be related to corrupted save file?
It's after Shurrey Hills when party divides into two. In cutscenes i saw Ion and Anise in both parties, and after reunion Anise dissapear from party members list.

Not sure if you are at the part I think you are but there is part in the story when the party splits and Anise is not part of the party for a short time.

If you post a save,I can tell you for sure(cleared the game 5 or 6 times but it was long ago the last time I played the game)

Anise disappears more than once and then comes back with some lame excuse of why she was gone for a period, (Even though Jade seems to be aware that something is off with her behavior) this is storyline related which will be explained further into the game.

So you mean after you reunite with everyone at Chesedonia,after few cut scenes you are suppoused to go to the Desert Oasis and you are saying that Anise is not in your party?

If yes,did you used some kind of cheats that enables all party members early in the game or any other cheats?

[Ryudo]

I'll open up the Save and take a look.

[Edit]

How bizarre. Anise literally shows up in both parties. The bug is occurring even before reuniting with everyone. You start escorting the people from Engeve first, but as soon as I reached Chesedonia, Anise would somehow be running on top of Tear's sprite. Then when you switch to Guy's party in Kaitzur, Anise shows up in the cutscene but is then gone from the menu and only Guy and Natalia are there.

I can probably fix this by re-adding her to the party via a cheat code, but it's definitely weird for this to be happening. I've used all kinds of crazy cheats in this game and never had this bug happen.


[Edit 2]
Play your game until you're reunited in Chesedonia, then use this following code to rebuild your entire party. It'll re-add Anise as well. Turn off the code afterwards.

Code:

//Party Modifier - Full Party Added (Tear = Onscreen Character)
patch=1,EE,206D2EC0,extended,04010202
patch=1,EE,206D2EC4,extended,00030605

   
Chesedonia - Anise Fixed

wow, thank you! You are my savior! i'm started lose hope, but now i can finish this great game.
so, this is my save file being somewhat corrupted. how you found this code?

[Ryudo]

I have no idea whether it's a Save corruption or a bug caused by a cheat you may have used. If you used a code to add Asch or something to your party it may have caused the glitch. If you didn't use any cheats then I have no idea what caused this glitch.
