I really hope someone can help me with this:

My PS3 crashed tonight and as I tried to load the game back up, i was presented with the error message "Cannot find character data" and I couldnt find anyway to get around this.

Some googling showed me all I had to do was delete my PS3 save files and rebuild my preferences and other settings. No biggie.

When i finally get logged in, i set everything up again and notice that i can no longer access the "Pets" menu and summon my company chocobo. I cannot access the menu. I cannot find/buy another chocobo whistle. I cannot find the hot button for the chocobo. Plainly put: I can no longer call or access my company chocobo.

Can anyone help me? Does anyone from SE Tech support actually read these forums?

Thanks for any suggestions.
