I don’t know if mine is a freezing issue or not. I have an xbox 360 and played ff 13 just fine. 74hrs worth. Then I decided to do all the stone missions. On my way to the 3rd mission marker I zone and it’s stuck on the ” now loading” screen with the jazzy little music, but it never loads. Anyone else having this issue?

I’m having the same problem too. I have the game for both the xbox and ps3. It froze Once on the PS3, and the only reason I bought the xbox version is because my kids broke my ps3 controllers halfway through the game. SO I just got it for the xbox, because I don’t wanna pay $60.00 for the freaking controllers. Either way! I’ve made it to the bulkhead fal’cie and the whole kill the critters to get through the fences bit. Game freezes every time I go into a battle. I’ve tried every other method out there, and so far – Nothing. At this point for all the damned trouble I’m having I just Might break down and go buy new ps3 controllers. I’ve changed the HDMI settings on my xbox, I’ve even changed the settings on my tv. I’ve lowered it down all the way to the most minimal standards there are and it’s still freezing. I’ve gone back in the game in hopes that maybe the stupid thing will Forget that it’s freezing up on me. I haven’t replaced the game discs yet, as they are in perfect working condition from what I can see. There’s no dust, scratches, or otherwise. It worked just fine with Rage, which I just got finished playing, and it’s working just fine without any problems on all of my other games.

My only worry is that when FF13-2 comes out that I won’t be able to get through it either because of the crappy xbox … which I’ve already bought and paid for on that platform. So is there any kind of actual working resolution to this other than just saying “Screw it” and hanging it up?

My 4gb 360 might be shot because of this shit, trying to play the game just freezes it up on the Square Enix logo, and when I try any other game they all freeze on their own load up screens.

Lenny Pogi, I have the same exact issue. I am also on the 360 console. Quite pissed that this game is not working.

I just had mine freeze for the first time last night. It’s where Snow is on the airship and has the flashbacks about loosing Sarah and crashing the air-bike on the beach. From there, it goes to the loading screen and freezes up on me. Going to try to turn down the system graphics and see it it’ll help.
This lock up is not affecting any other of my X-box games.
