MSQ GYC Captain bug?

[rudy`K]

i cant not currently go pass this point. i get no animation from the GYC captain and does not allow me to progress the MSQ. she just stand in one spot the entire time. i tried all the basic troubleshooting methods. uninstall, reinstall,l verified files, reloaded from 2 separate save files still bugged for me.

Do you mean the part of the game where you are preparing for the parade? Big Tall Captain lady? She asks you if you are ready or need to train?

She has a popup dialogue box asking you yes or no.

That the spot you are stuck at?

Think you guys are talking about the part where Cissnei stops going up-hill to pray when you first enter the Gongaga town?
I'll just leave this here in case you or anyone else encounters the same thing! I had this issue too and this allowed me to continue the game.

1. Go back to the point where the GYC captain starts walking after the cut-scene when first entering Gongaga town.
2. Follow the GYC captain BUT at the maximum distance from the back and control Cloud to walk very slowly to allow the captain to pick a flower on the ground.
Think if you follow too close to the captain, it bugs out for some reason :)

The ViciousTaco approach did not work for me, instead what i had to do was load the autosave right when the captain starts walking. immediately on loading the save run backwards towards a giant mushroom and a seemingly missed cutscene plays where tifa notices the mushroom. After that the quest triggers work and i was able to follow cissnei with no issues.

Hmm I'll give that Aaron and taco ty.

Thanks Aaron, this helped a lot - looks like I definitely had the missed cutscene issue.
For anyone with the same issue try this: As the quest starts, don't cross the bridge; if you're facing Cissnei at the start of the bridge, go to the left, towards the foliage behind the rock. Try around that area as if heading back out of Gongaga and it should trigger the Cutscene with Tifa and the mushroom. Progress as normal after that - Cissnei will pick the flower then head up the hill.

Sigh. Did not work for me. Guess I'll have to wait for a patch.

Same I am stuck :(

[takinyash]

Does somebody has safe file exactly before that quest? I'm stuck and all solutions here doesn't help. She just doesn't start her dialog sequence at all

dm me if you want a save file
i noticed the bug only happens if you skip the freaking cutscene
