DraStic

I have an issue with Puzzle Quest 2.
Droid Turbo 2, Marshmallow 6.0.1, with Drastic version r2.5.0.3a.

Anyways, this is probably a pretty easy glitch to replicate. Start the game and the first encounter will soft lock the game. I have no idea how to get around this.

I am using no cheats.

EDIT ...

I used the "all laws disabled" (because the laws in this game are asinine). But I think the culprit is the custom cheat a made from a forum post on GameFAQs.

Yes I can. I forgot to post that as one of the troubleshooting steps that I preformed.

I tried this from the emulator save state. When that didnt work I tried again, but with a real game save. I loaded the game from cold, accepted the mission, it still failed.

Would it help if I had a .sav to ...

There is a mission deep into Final Fantasy Tactics A2 that messes up in a weird way. The mission "A Charm for Luck" is a simple collect the item and deliver it quest. Take the quest and head to the first location, the screen loads the background and the text boxes, but no map and sprites. Dialogue ...

I... I cant believe I have overlooked that for this past year.

My humility is great. Thanks you for your help.

What ever happened to being able to make a bookmark or shortcut on the home screen using the DS game icon? I used to have a FFTA2 icon on my home screen, but I cant seem to remember how to do that anymore.

I didnt realize that. But yes, I was counting those. Even 8 digital directions mapped to a floating and seemingly analog controller would be an improvement in my eyes.
