Celestial mirror bug

[norxsa]

So I think I've encountered some bug. I got cloudy mirror but when I go to macalania I see only the son. After I talk to him I can get the father but that's that. They just dissapear. No mother as well. And the strange thing is, I can see them already in Calm Lands standing in the camp. WTF?

Where are you at during the story? I believe the NPCs hang around earlier, but you can only get the Celestial Mirror after acquiring the airship.

Yes, of course I got the ship. I even managed to beat chocobo game and get a few of other celestial weapons parts. I think that maybe something I did (or someone I talked to) messed up this quest

I don't know of a way to mess up the quest. I don't remember if you need to progress further and get the Sin part done, too? I always do before I worry about CWs but not for a specific reason so it might just be that.

It's more likely it's some gameplay thing rather than a bug, so all possibilities should be excluded first.

But the family is already in Calm Lands. Where they supposed to be after I do the quest. That's why I think that maybe it's some bug

did you walk up the rainbow path towards the celestial tree thing while you have the clouded mirror?

I was stuck on this same spot on my last playthrough, but I can't remember what it was I did to advance the progression. The good news is that you can't mess it up, you just have to find what it is you're supposed to. I'd start with the previous reply above me.

in FFX you can miss Stuff

at points of no return

when after each decision point you do not do
all that you can do next before the next decision point

like Butterfly, Chocobo, ... Minigame Prices
Blitzball Prices and Players, ...

so simply following this rule i had no issues
having a perfect game without missing anything

looking up what can be done next
in the correct order:

also did every possible talk
with every NPC after each decision point
