My game has frozen after escaping battle, too. (I got sick of fight after fight after FIGHT when I just wanted to walk through an already-explored area to reach a specific spot within it. Wasn't doing anything risky, so I had not saved.)
Now it's stuck there, and I'll have to do all that stuff over. -__________- And it was all tedious little stuff to finish up side quests, I SO don't want to do it again. I'll probably just quit playing for a while, until I can face the tedium again. Too bad, because the main story is interesting...I just wanted to get some side quests out of the way before continuing on it. This really sucks.
