Right after the Nasca battle, I made my way down to Creed's. Coming from the top of the screen, I ended up in the Jaro battle, complete with pre-battle dialogue & Jaro himself. Odd, isn't it?
On the way up the valley from Pacalon the first time, I had fought a battle there & thought to myself, "Isn't this the battle with Jaro?" But no Jaro. Plus no pre-battle dialogue.
I'm curious if anyone else has encountered this.
