I was going back through the Chains of Promathia cutscenes, but when I try to rewatch the cutscene, "The Rites of Life(pt.2)" in Upper Jeuno, the cutscene ends when the screen goes white while zooming into the "Mysterious Boy's" face. It should, instead, be transitioning into a glimpse of Al'Taieu, followed by a scene outside the clinic. There are no freezes or crashes, it just ends prematurely at the scene transition. (And there are no additional parts to this scene (EG, a "pt.3") to choose, so I am currently unable to rewatch this entire scene.)

Additionally, when I try to view the very first cutscene for CoP, ("The Rites of Life" in Delkfutt's Tower), the goblin has the scene broken into 5 parts (pt.1 ~ pt.5). In the past when I have rewatched this (years ago, admittedly), it was all one long cutscene. Furthermore, every listing I can find online still lists that there should only be one cutscene for Rites of Life in Delkfutt's. (I have found several videos online of people who have recorded this scene, and the Goblin seems to offer all of them the single, complete cutscene, as well)

The 5 different parts for me are divided at the points where they transition between areas (EG, outside delkfutt's -> inside delkfutt's -> Bahamut, etc.), and the other cutscene is ending prematurely at the same sort of transition, which leads me to think they are probably connected...

I've tried checking the POL and FFXI files, I've also messed with all the settings I could think of. Since the game itself is giving me the options of "The Rites of Life(pt.1~5)", clearly there is something going on game-side here...
