Frame Rate drops when I enter Southperry?

Why is an NPC so laggy though? Is there any way to fix this? If there isn't, guess I can't play... -_-

From my understanding, it's because she still has every single script she's ever been given at any point in time and when your PC tries to load this, there's so much data that the game needs to load that your PC essentially gets bogged down by the massive amount of sh'it they left in her NPC code. They have that NPC handle just about every event and she's never been cleaned out. Same thing with Cassandra, and to a lesser extent Gaga.

There's nothing you can do about it at all, you just have to steer clear of them or get past them as quickly as possible when needed.

Honestly I don't know why they even keep those NPCs in the game at all. All of them have infiltrated the side-menu now, at least they do in JMS. The NPCs are pointless, everything you need from them is accessible from the side-menu. They should just get rid of the NPCs completely.
