Game Freezes when in Boat Cutscene
This happens consistenly when I play solo and in a party. When the cutscene is started where all the mercs wave to the camera, it reaches my character and freezes. The game goes to Not Responding. In a solo boat, it stays like that for about a minute or two. Afterwards, the camera glitches out and it continues the cutscene. In a party, the cutscene will stutter and, upon reaching my merc, freeze. The game goes to the loading screen and continues wherever the host is at the time. Then I am kicked from the party and appear in the docks. It's the same in Quick Battles and normal battles. Does anyone else have this problem?

Basically, it's a glitch/bug in the UI that's causing a bunch of issues. Your problem, along with a huge amount of lag in general are all talked about in the linked forum post. There's no way to really "fix" these issues atm, and the GMs/Devs haven't provided an explanation nor solution to it either despite the fact that it's been around for more than 7 months. Of course, the only response we've gotten in our wait so far is "We're looking into it"- both on the forum and when asked about it during their streams of new (to NA) content.
Only recommendation I can provide with dealing with your particular issue (as I have it too) is to be attacking when the camera rolls around to your character. If you use Lann or Vella, you can hold Gust Sting (or any charge skill a character has) until it moves on and you'll be fine without it the freezing or being sent back to town. Good luck, and I hope it helps. =/
