Hi tlaloc, thank you for posting your problem about receiving these cutscenes. I want to say that this may be caused due to corrupted files on your PS2. I've played on a PS2 for several years and had the same problem.

What you may want to try is running a file check on your FFXI data, which can be done from the POL viewer login screen. Remember to select the FFXI files and not the playonline ones too. If this doesn't resolve your problem, please let us know and I'll submit your issue to the developers right away. Thank you!

I dont play on PS2... "plataform: windows" <please check it> but i assume it works either way,i'll post an update with the outcome on this matter. Thanks for the info and the reply!

yea, I wanna have someone look into this as well. I get the option to skip the shadow lord cs when I help with the fight. but the last 3 times I've helped with it, the person who entered the battlefield first doesn't get the cutscene for it. I literally just helped someone do the fight and he got no opening cutscene for the fight, just entered the battlefield and saw the shadow lord standing there. normally I'd think this was the fault of the player, but after watching this happen to 3 different players, 2 on pc and one on xbox, I'm beginning to think that something is wrong with the area itself somewhere.

[tlaloc]

i ran the filecheck on both PC's and no problem was found, maybe it has to do with a pty of two going there or as PandyTwi said, something wrong with the area itself, because i was also helping another person when that happened, i even blamed her for pushing the skip button and she said she didnt get any options, she was just dropped into the battlefield while me in the other hand i got the option to view or skip the cut scene. So pleaseeee have someone check this issue, is not because a corrupted file it may have something to do with one of us being higher level or going there as a pty of two, or a problem with the area

<< sry, just the main thing that annoyed me about this is for my friend to see the cutscene now, we gotta reclimb that entire god-forsaken castle again.
