Oh yeah, I've done all that already. I've got Barret, Cloud and Red XIII right now and. . .well, we've been levelin' up a helluva lot.

I actually did go out into the desert, and . . .well, I did go right. After the screenshot started repeating itself, I thought to myself that I was probably gonna get screwed and never be able to get back and heal if I needed to. I fought a few worms, you know, and kept going right three or four times, and nothing happened. Thinking I might get in trouble really quickly, I started going left, down and up to the top of the screen to see if there were some way to get back to the prison. Once I went northeast (the opposite of what the liars said, I presumed) the chocobo carriage that the chronic liars mentioned came by and picked me up.

Then I came back to the prison, and I've been stuck. It's very annoying.
