Not sure if this helps out at all, but wanted to mention while in Dollet at the bridge (after the dog at the fountain) also has this black ground effect when in battle (fought 1 solder then 3 on bridge after going back to area to see if it did it again..). It seems like all the battles after that point has a black ground effect as well, as if something isn't loading..? I know u said wip so figure some things aren't perfect, but wanted to let you know anyway.. Also something is causing the fountain (at the bottom specifically) to go from mainly pixelated to smoothed out texture for a split second (upscaling?) during the close up of Seifer and Squall with Seifer having his blade resting on his shoulder saying "What is this dog training!?" (but that's not battlefield related..) Also, minor black spaces next to buildings (looks like store fronts) in the battlefield in Dollet fighting the solders. I also can't seem to get a screenshot that isn't black with print screen button when copying it into paint on win 7. Hope this helps. Thank you for everyone's work!
