Newest graphical improvisations etc patch made Shiro dissappear during they "prison" his mortal body that it not again turn any area to Jade and then come back again. Also that effect is missing when they start prison Shiro.
I noticed this too. Also, as I went through the game in the past week or so helping a guildie, I noticed a LOT of cutscene bugs, more than were ever there the times that I went through the game some months ago. Very annoying.
