Light blue ball around party members prevents them from fighting and drains HP...

How do you get rid of it? I'm fighting that sea monster near the oil factory.

[escobert]

What? what ball when in the game and what oil factory!?

[Ultima Shadow]

It's in Junon. However, it's not an oil factory. The "blue balls" are bubbles and you get ride of them by casting magics on them... if I remember coorectly.

I belive the town is called Junon. The harbor...with the girl and her dolphin, when some sort of sea creature attacks. I guess it is a Mako factory.

Anyway, the sea monster casts a spell that creates a light blue sphere around a party member. That party member can no longer attack and looses health continuously. How do I get rid of that?

EDIT: Also, how much of the game have I completed by now? It's been almost 10 hours and Disk 1 is still far from over it seems.

I already answered how. Cast an attack magic on the bubble effected character.

You mean cast a spell on a party member? Can it be something like fire.

Yea that's rigth. And if I recall coorectly it won't hurt the party member, just remove the bubble.

[escobert]

I'd say that you're a bit less than halfway through disc 1. How far less depends on how much extra stuff you do, though.

[Starcrest]

if ur only at Junon then i'd say a LONG while left to actually FINISH the game, but to the end of the disk I have no idea

[Rostum]

You still have awhile to the end of the disc.

I thought the bubbles were different targets than the characters? I think I targeted the character and got them blown to death instead of removing the bubble, and then on the third replay I found out it was a separate target. I could have been hallucinating though.
