Party Menu Glitch? Minor spoiler
Party Menu Glitch? Minor spoiler
I'm playing Suikoden V for the first time and I'm several hours in, at the spot where the prince and company are forced to flee from Falena. Since I've started playing, I haven't been able to open the party menu using the square button or any other for that matter. At first I didn't think much of it, figuring that the game would let me know when I could use it, but now I think that something is wrong. Any thoughts? Could it be that my copy is simply a dud? Do I need to play through more of it?
Thanks for any comments!

A: If you are playing on the PS3, that is the problem
B: If not, it's more than likely your copy of the game. How is it condition wise?

doesn't the Select button also bring up the menu? try that out and see if you can configure your buttons. maybe a button is bad or it could be the reasons described by megablork

Also, as for the topic:
WTF!? I have no idea what's going on dude.

Yeah, I think it's just my copy. Doesn't it seem strange though that every aspect of a game could work just fine except for one (or two button's) functions?
Ah well, back to Gamestop I go. *sighs*
Thanks for the suggestions!

Re: Party Menu Glitch? Minor spoiler
I have the same issue, but it can be resolved.
Before you take it back, just try removing and re-inserting your Playstation 2 control when you can't access the menu.
It may fix your issue.

Thanks Pixelate, but that didn't work for me.
I wasn't able to find another copy either, so until I do, I suppose I'll just fiddle with my current copy from time to time to see if I can correct the issue.
But dude, this is frustrating! This is clearly going to be one of the best rpgs I've played on the PS2, but I just can't continue without customization (Georg isn't doing me too much good in the back row, lol)!

Also you might be having problems with your controller and not your game. I know I have had a controller or two have some buttons stop working. Just a suggestion.

Re: Party Menu Glitch? Minor spoiler
well if you can access the menu with Select, then you can change your formation and other stuff, and maybe even the menu button to go to a button that works (i'm not sure how much you can configure your buttons in this game).
Re: Party Menu Glitch? Minor spoiler
The select button doesn't work either unfortunately. I just can't access it at all.
I'm thinking about having the game disc resurfaced, since I haven't been able to track down a new copy yet.

Re: Party Menu Glitch? Minor spoiler
Well, are there any major scratches on the disk?
And, have you tried the game with another control pad?
Does the square+Select buttons work with other games?
I'll see what I can find out if I can get this info!

Never had the problem of being unable to access the menu though...seems odd to me really.
