I discovered the updated v1.0.2 bug fix update and moved my save file over to that version and I still have the same problem. This save file is still stuck
So if anyone else is thinking about going back to win that fight don't do it
Did you only use one save-file? *shock* Never do that in RPGs or games in general if it's possible. Speaking from past experience, this is not the first game where a savefile could get stuck. I always switch to a different one every few hours I play so I can go back to an earlier one if that happens (or I realize I missed something important).
