Character Name: Gilgashortie
Race: TaruM
World: Carbuncle
Main Job: Puppetmaster, Lv.61
Support Job: Dancer
Area and Coordinates: Whitegate, NPC Iruki-Waraki K-9
Party or Solo: Solo
NPC Name: Iruki-Waraki
Monster Name: N/A
Steps:
- I speak to the NPC Iruki-Waraki in Whitegate to begin the Puppemaster Artifact Armor quest line.
- The cutscene begins successfully.
- The cutscene always stops after the second line of text (Asking for help in finding an automaton).
I have tried rebooting my PC, running a file check from Playonline Viewer, and reinstalling the entire POL/FFXI game to different hard drives. Out of dozens of attempts the cutscene stops at the same point every time.
I can still use /linkshell to communicate, but the cutscene is stuck on the NPC Iruki-Waraki in a /sit emote position after giving two lines of text. I have no way of obtaining Artifact Armor due to her being the primary NPC for Puppetmaster.
Thank You.
