I just got past the part where the team falls asleep on the train to Timber (for my 1st SeeD mission), got control of the new charcters, and got to the city... I went to the hotel, accidently got a hotel thing for 2 nights, I come out and theres a traffic jam and I can't go anywhere :( I checked some guides and none tell me what to do. Can anyone help?

I've been playing this game for years and have played to completion many times and I have never seen or heard about this happening.

Can you tell me the very last thing that happened in the game?

You're playing with Laguna right? Try going to the right of the hotel clerk. There is a place over there with a piano and some people sitting in a dining area. See if that triggers an event.

Maybe try approaching some tables? I just simply don't remember anything like this happening.

I'm not sure what's going on here. Hopefully it's not a glitch. Like I said I just can't seem to remember anyhting like this happening. If that doesn't work then talk to the desk clerk again and tell me what options she gives you to choose from. Also, if my memory serves me correctly there are two ways out of that street which are on the east and west sides of the screen.

I'm sure that video will help you if you watch it but just one more thing. I looked it up on youtube as well. Have you talked to the hostess in the dining area? If not that should progress some things.

So you can't go down the stairs or leave that street? Then that means the only palce you can go is the hotel lobby to talk to the desk clerk to buy a room. That's not right. Something is wrong here. Can you tell me the last major event that happened. Sorry, I just want to get to the bottom of this.

Sorry I was trying to make it work, I ran up and down the side just to see if I had bad depth perception and that was to no prevail too : / I guess I just start from my last save 2 hours back or so : /

See, this is why everybody is going to tell you to save every chance you get. The point is to avoid stuff like this (in addition to losing random battles). So unless you have a save from just before now, you're screwed.

I saved every chance on my main save.... but I saved after I got out, and my secondary save I do every once and awhile :(

I never heard of FF8 glitching out like this before. You can go into the hotel right? Have you sat down on the chairs to the right of the woman playing the piano? Then a scene will trigger and then the woman playing the piano should come over to you then invite you upstairs to her room. Thats when you'll be able to go up the stairs.

No, I can't get DOWN I'm not trying to come back up, I watched the video the other guy posted and I'm stuck at those stairs, I try to walk down but I end up hitting a wall....

Something is definitely wrong then.. Nothing should be blocking you from going down those stairs. Are you running this off the disc? Sure the disc isn't scratched? It might be failing to load the next area or something.

There was an intelligence born into the source code of the game. It's only now been able to manifest itself in some way.. Don't stop.. tr~ying.,, h3l9 h3R`^0--

It's clearly a glitch. The solution? Just reload your last save. (I know it's painful to lose a lot of progress to a glitch....and sometimes, downright discouraging...)

Note to TC : have multiple saves for RPGs. Make sure you space them out properly too.

Also, if you're playing on a PSP or PS3 then make sure their firmwares are updated as this could be related to emulation. Not likely but it's possible.
