Casting Life sometimes soft-locks the game?

[Skoops]

I've encountered this issue very consistently under specific circumstances: When fighting a group of monsters, if the last one remaining is susceptible to the Life spell (such as Zombies), and the spell doesn't miss, the game soft-crashes, with nothing happening while the game gets stuck mid-turn. Pausing and unpausing the game still works, but that's all I can do when this happens. I first encountered this several months ago, and I hoped that it was something a lot of people would have found and reported since using Life on undead monsters to instantly kill them is somewhat common knowledge. (I thought, at least) But after all this time, it's still an issue; has anyone else had this happen to them, or are able to replicate it how I described?

Yep, that same crash happened here a lot.

Someone pointed this out a few months ago. Sad to see it wasn't fixed. Just have to avoid casting life on the last enemy on screen.

Just encountered this for the first time trying level up my Life magic. Cast it on a mob of undead, several disappeared, several did not. Game froze mid turn. Music continues playing, and the characters still look like they are preparing for next turn (lips moving) but otherwise game if frozen.

Do game developers read these discussions? If not, how do we get this feedback to them.

I just encountered this myself. Was trying to level some white magic, encountered a group of undead, set the party to cast Life and Cure on the undead and as my choices should start, the game just soft locks.

I was casting on the whole group of undead and run into this glitch. You can do that if there is one or more none undead in the group and you will have no problem.

I'm playing it and I got the bug in the "Snow cavern", where there are a lot of undeaths to train "life". I'm worried because the bug has been reported since 2021 but still it's here.

I'll buy the game the day they finally fix this issue. Until then I'll just emulate the psp version.

They already fixed it. The most recent update fixed it.

Wasn't someone in another thread just complaining about that? Are you absolutely certain?

A friend of mine tested it the day the update went live, and I just tested it today, several times, myself. The bug is gone. (Thankfully!)
