I think I've got an idea what could be causing this problem for me, ram and lack of.

My system build was a pretty cheap one, but built to be upgraded when I get more cash, so right now I've only got 1gb DDR2 ram and onboard video that uses about 256mb of that. Got at least 40gb free on C: partition of my hard drive (C: and D: are 80gb each). And an amd 3800+ processor (2gb dual core).

During the fight with the boss Aguni (late in the game) I kept getting those 'white screens' even if I loaded the savestate right before the battle. I was checking task manager and saw that my page file was over 2 gig and only had 30mb or physical ram used. My hard drive is not a super fast one, so I'm wondering that when windows is increasing the page file, it is screwing up how the frame rates are drawn and then everything goes white with some gray shading around stuff like candles.

To get around this, I forced frame skip to 9 instead of auto and was able to get threw the battle. Didn't realize iDeaS needs 2gb of ram.
