  • Details:

NPCs run about aimlessly, often for long duration, at all times of the day and night. This is seen mostly in Cahaya (3 NPCs at once), but I also noticed this in Dowon, though only 1 NPC. None of these NPCs have any specific destination to go to. They run about, stop doing nothing, and start running again.
I actually had to pause the game to select one such NPC to talk to. As soon as the initial greeting ended, the NPC ran away.

This is something I have also seen. I will approach a group of Zois and they will randomly scatter, three of them just randomly sprinting in the same direction.
