PS3 freeze at Character Selection Screen

[Auberjeen]

The game froze when I was changing jobs, and since then when I try to log in, it lets me get all the way to the Character Selection screen, but will freeze before actually loading my character onto the screen. All the text is there, and the cursor is there, but the music and the background all freeze.
It's been a week now and it's still happening. Does this mean my gamefile is somehow corrupted? Will I need to remove it and try downloading it all again? Any advice is welcome please.

First time I've read about freeze on the character selection screen. I gather you've not got any problems with other games recently? I'd recommend re-installing the game to see if that fixes it. You should be able to just delete the game file and leave the update file intact (which should save you on a lengthy update process), but if that doesn't work you may have to delete the update files (in data utility option) as well and just do a fresh install and update (don't delete your saves though).
