first off, i just found this forum today and i gotta say it's one of the friendliest and informative forums i've ever come across. so i looked through the entire ff12 section and couldn't find anything like this:

i'm at about lvl 20 for my characters right now, but at some point around lvl 12 penelo got silence cast on her. no problem, just use an item and it'll be gone, right? well...no. i tried using every item i have (i forget the name of the one that removes silence, but i used lots of them) on her and the silence wouldn't go away. a little later when i got esuna i tried that on her to no avail. i've tried everything you could possibly thing of to get rid of her silence and nothing will work.

could it be a glitch in the game? will i be able to finish the game with very limited use of penelo (i haven't been using her at all for quite a while now)? has anything like this happened to anyone else?

thanks in advance for the responses.
