Temporary Fixes for Halloween Festival Issues (Oct. 15)

We have determined that players of the PlayStation 2 version of the game may experience “blackouts” in the game when they approach the areas where Halloween Festival events are being held.

We are currently investigating the issue, however due to the complexity of the issue, as a temporary countermeasure we will be removing graphic-intensive objects and NPCs that have been added for the Halloween Festival.

* Objects/NPCs that may be temporarily removed:

-Southern San d'Oria
"Synergy Furnace"

-Northern San d'Oria
"Synergy Furnace"
"Ensemble Maven"
"Fashionista"
Halloween Festival Costume Contest judge

-Bastok Mines
"Synergy Furnace"
"Ensemble Maven"
"Fashionista"
Halloween Festival Costume Contest judge

-Bastok Markets
"Synergy Furnace"

-Windurst Waters
"Synergy Furnace"
"Ensemble Maven"
"Fashionista"
Halloween Festival Costume Contest judge

*These countermeasures will be enacted based on the conditions seen in each world/area, so some worlds/areas may not be impacted by this.
*We apologize for the inconvenience, but if you find the objects/NPCs missing in your area, please try participating in the event at a different location.

We offer our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.
