The beautiful image of Vern Castle disappeared during the various loading screens while you are in the Vern Castle (e.g. moving from Chaos Dungeon back to Vern Castle) and the screen is instead black.
Sorry to see you’re having this issue as well, Azure. The development team is aware of this issue and is looking into it.
However, has this happened to you at any other locations?
Yes I’ve realized just after having posted this - all of the loading screens (or most of them) have a black screen and lack the georgeous image relating to its continent/area.
The UI is there, it’s only the artwork that’s missing.
