Steps:
-Go to Full Moon Fountain and select the "Moon Reading" battlefield.
-Attempt to advance the resulting cutscene at every opppertunity.
-One of the NPCs says, "Star Sibyl!" the screen takes on a warpy visual effect, and the cutscene won't advance further. The player character seems to be standing in an odd position where the cutscene stops. Because the cutscene can't be skipped, the battlefield can not be completed.

Make sure you are not using third party software.

https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/45801/stupid-addon-question#2823604Yes, I'm sure about that, and linking external site posts from 3 years ago to try to incriminate me of something you have no basis to accuse me of says a lot about what kind of person you are. Now please leave me alone if you don't have anything helpful to contribute.

No, I'm pointing out the fact that these 'bugs' have largely been down to the use of third party software.
You can report something as a bug, and not tell the whole truth about your setup.

So, you are running no external third party software? Right?

clean install, hard drive died a while back.

Your post came off to me as a witch hunt, like you're looking for people to try to get into trouble. Maybe that wasn't your intention, that's how it felt though.

Have you ran a file check within POL?

Only other thing I can think of is install on another computer or VM, if you have access, and try the cut scene from that. Hopefully that will make you progress through the CS. If not, it sounds like something that could be server end. In which case, its all in the hands of SE :)

Other attempt-able item/process: Have someone else log in to your account that you trust, have them complete the mission/cutscene for you, and see if that gets you out of the problem.
