PoF Story - The Departing cannot be completed.

[Sploogesque.2801]

After facing Balthazar, you get ported into the other realm, with Joko in a cage. You are supposed to listen to the prisoner, but he stops his lines at "I am King Joko the Inevitable, the last Primeval King, Joko the Undying, the Scourge of Vabbi." when there is supposed to be more voice lines afterwards, making this currently incompletable. 

Edit: I've tried this story instance three times, same result each time.

Just tried this with a friend, and seems to work in a party. 😞

Went to do the achievement, lost eligibility for "The whole story" midway through with the friend, so having the friend to tag along didn't help anything. 😞

Tried again solo after the friend, and yep, he stops talking at the same point again. 😐

Unfortunately, I think these are both bugs that have been around since PoF came out. For "The Whole Story," the trick is to make sure you do not leave (or really move at all) each area until the spirit npcs disappear. And then for the final one, do not go past the stairs where Balthazar is standing.

As for the other bug, I had it happen to me once, but replaying the story step a second time went fine. So I'm not sure how to get past it, other than with a friend again.

Very sad to here that this is a bug thats persisted for 7 years nearly.. hopefully they will look into it. 😕
