Smz and I have once again defeated the Shadow Lord and have regained rank 6. We might do rank 7 in Windurst before switching to Sandy to start the whole thing over again. Let’s hope Sandy’s story is a little more interesting.
On an odd note, the cut scene glitch happened again and once again I was unable to see the 5-2 CS in which the Shadow Lord is resurrected. Once again while Smz was seeing the cool movie I was staring at the giant NM, who was staring back at me. Only this time I decided to start killing him. I have no idea why the game absolutely refuses to show me that CS. Every other mission CS works (including the CS after you kill him). It’s just the one I actually WANT to see that keeps messing up. ><
I am not hopeful that Sandy’s will work when both Bastok and Windy have failed. Ugh.
