Girl (Primm) won't move or attack!
I just fought the two wolfmen in the haunted forest and rescued the girl, Primm. As soon as we teleport back to the forest, she won't follow me or move or attack or do anything.

I am using a 360 controller, but I only have the one connected. I tried connecting a second one and moving her manually but it doesn't do anything, she's just frozen there.

I tried exiting to title and reloading my save and the same thing happens. I can't move more than a few feet away from her unless she follows me, so until I figure out a fix for this the game is completely broken and unplayable and I'm trapped on that screen. HELP!

Yeah, I had a similar issue where Primm doesn't want to attack a boss. She just doesn't care anymore.

for me is Popoi the one who dont attack, but he is still following me :(

You could try changing their attack settings to go after other enemies or something? I'm not having the same problem with attacking, but I am finding Primm and Popoi both to be a little buggy when it comes to movement. Changing their attack profiles helped me, so maybe it will help you too?

I would think this will be one of the first things patched, hopefully.

i've tried every attack set and nothing, now popoi its tottaly useless for me, even if i give him an target he just run after him but do nothing :S

I have the same issue, I think the problem is that the game is expecting your to play co-op. I'm using a 360 controller that controls Randi. As soon as Primm (or the Sprite) joins, they're "frozen in place" too. If I then use my keyboard, it controls both characters. I haven't seen an option yet to turn on/off human or AI controlled characters. That's the stupid issue. I'm going to try turning my controller off and play with keyboard only so that at least Primm should be computer controlled

Just tried starting the game without the 360 controller turned on and now Primm moves. But no option to join/disconnect co-op. Hate to say it but this game really has some major issues

It's not just "not attacking"...she WON'T MOVE. She is frozen in place. I can't get down the stairs on the right after leaving the area where I fought the wolfmen. I could at least PLAY the game if she'd follow me, but nothing happens. Tried moving her with a second controller, tried restarting the game. SHE. DOESN'T. MOVE.

This game is really letting me down. And to think, I could just go play a ROM of the original version of Secret of Mana and be having a much better time. That said, I'd like to continue playing this version but all the glitches are really ruining it for me.

Also thanks angryirishman0, I will try without a controller. I'm hoping once I get past that screen I can save and try again with the controller...this game feels weird on keyboard.
