Ok, well I think this is kind of a simple question. I've been playing the game for over 3 hours and I have yet to be able to activate the party menu. I cannot get to licenses or equipment or anything. I tried pressing triangle and it didn't work, triangle works on other games and at the PS2 main screen. But I have no clue what to do. Its annoying since I've been stuck with the same stuff since the beginning and can't do anything to advance any of my characters. Please help.

Nevermind about this. I realize now that there is a whole thread dedicated to this. Thanks for the help!
