Do not flee from battle unless absolutely necessary. If you are fleeing from battle more than you are actually fighting, your game may eventually freeze, or it will flash the leading character and tag along character repeatedly on a black screen, frozen in the last position they were in before they were attacked. You may also loose all visuals. You will still hear you characters movements and/or actions, but will not see anything but a black screen. If you intend to flee often, make sure to save your progress frequently. The only way to exit this is to restart te PlayStation 2.
