Stuck at Floating Continent

Yeah I'm not sure what happened with the save, it should only be 8KB and the one you linked seems to be 834KB, at least for me. If you can try sending to my email maybe, that file upload site seemed a bit sketch anyway: mikeferrell@live.com

I can send you the save file I used for testing, but the save has the characters all maxed out and all the items etc. It's used just to speed through the game and, well, test lol:

It's 2.7.1 save data, so I'm not sure how accurate it is for testing this issue with 2.7.0 there.

I was able to get your save data actually from that link, for some reason my computer was turning it into an .iso and having it be the wrong size... weird I know. I'll see what I can see and report back.

EDIT: I got the save loaded, and can confirm the freeze, I also noticed that the airship npc that you can jump on to leave is completely gone? I'll continue to investigate, something is causing these NPCs to be erased from the map it seems like, if I had to guess I'd say their memory bit is being cleared, but that shouldn't be happening of course.
