I'm glad that helped you out!
I found the problem: after that monologue when the screen was black something was missing and so the display remained black, even if the game was still running normally. Thanks to help me find out the problem!

Heh, the new area Irys sends you to is a bit... yikes, isn't it? Maaaaybe could do with dialling down the strength of some of the enemies there or allowing saves.
I sort of found that if an enemy used Soth (or another big spell and I got unlucky with paralyze or confuse) on turn 1 before I could get Azki's Reflect up (and enemies' Speed is so high the enemies always act first) it was Game Over and right back to the start again. It... sort of got too frustrating to be fun to be honest.
Are you going through it before or after rescuing Anya?
The are is indeed a little more difficult than the usual but after that mission it is optional and for grinding purposes.
I have plans to balance these areas to be less frustrating
I suggest taking Ina and Azki for sure on that area, as Ina has 100% immunity to attacks like Soth, Polka and Lamy on their second class have confusion immunity, so that may help as well
If you need more advice you may consider joining the server for the game as well!

thank you for the feedback and I'll make sure to work towards a game that may be challenging but not frustrating
