Steps to reproduce:
Complete the last mission for Windy with a full inventory. Go to the top of Heaven's Tower for final cut scene. See Rank 10 message. Then see message to come back after sorting your inventory. Watch in horror as you are now unable to complete rank 10 at all.
What happened:
I just completed the final mission for Windust. (took me long enough!), but apparently I picked up a random item going through the motions and so my inventory was full. After going through the final cut scene the game said:
So, I sorted my inventory, and went back to the top of Heven's tower (which is what I had to interact with to get the flag) and it just says:
You cannot obtain the Windustian flag.
Come back after sorting your inventory.
The door to the Vestal Chambers is locked shut.I tried talking to Kupipi as well (Heaven's Tower Clerical Chambers) and she didn't have it either. I talked to a bunch of random NPCs both in and outside of the tower as well. I then tried talking to the gate guards in Windurst Waters, but they just told me to go to Heaven's Tower.
Since my real objective was to rank up to get the Federation Aketan I figured I could at least get that before the week changes, but that's when I learned that my rank wasn't high enough! It went down from Rank 10 to Rank 9 JUST because I didn't have the item space for a single flag! I would have at least expected the game to let me finish by going back to the last part of the mission at the top of heaven's tower, but no, that's not an option.
So then I went back to "Full Moon Fountain" thinking I'd have to totally redo that as well, so I went back there and the fight wasn't an option at all. So then I went back even further. I went back to Ro'Maeve to get the song again and... It didn't let me get the song again so I know I didn't go that far back, but then I have no idea how far back I should go.I can't use NPC dialog as an indication either since some of them (i.e. Kupipi) are talking like I am rank 10.
I tried going back to the Monustery in Windurst Wood, since they are involved in the quest, and talking to Apiruru triggered the cutscene to get the Ajido-Marujido Trust which should ONLY happen when I am at rank 10 and had no dialog upon further tries regarding the mission.
So I am at a complete loss on what to do. I lost rank 10, went to rank 9, and now I am stuck and unable to do anything to get rank 10. Some NPCs think I am still on the mission, others think I am done with it and are already at Rank 10, and it's all really weird.
If there is some way to finish this by talking to some NPC somewhere the game should very clearly tell the player how to do this. And if there is no way, well, I'd call that a game breaking bug! It shouldn't be impossible to ever get rank 10 just because I didn't have space for a single flag!
What's especially painful about this is that the reason why I pushed to complete this mission was so that I could get the "Federation Aketan" while Windust was First in the ranking, but now I can't do that and the ranking is about to change so even if this bug is eventually fixed who knows when I'll be able to get it.
