This is not a PS3 problem, this happens on PCs as well. I really wish people would actually do some digging before automatically saying "must be a PS3 problem".

It's a priority issue. The game isn't loading, or removing certain aspects correctly. And yes, Square already stated that they're working on the priority issue.

If you want to help reduce the problem, turn the settings for skill effects down(I run with the skill affects of unknown people turned off, and those of my party turned to partial).
