Hello!
I attempted to find another post regarding this however after some searching I didn't find anything, so here goes.

I experienced a hard crash on my PS3 when using the search function on one of the message boards in Limsa Lominsa. I was attempting to sell some stuff and wanted to check prices of the items already up. I attempted to search for a word (searched for aetherial which I doubt will help anything, but listing it just in case) and then the entire system froze. I did not receive any error messages and had to do a hard reset on my system in order to continue. In addition, I had been playing for a few hours so I'm not sure if that's pertinent or not. However, after checking the temp, it doesn't appear that my PS3 overheated.

Please let me know if you need any further information. Thank you!
