Stuck at Painted Mesa

Character Name: Quelled Fears
Level and Job: Level 22 THM
Server: Malboro
Time Issue Noticed: after your emergency maintenance, tried to turn in quest at 11:20 PM EST
Quest Name: Into a Copper Hell
Platform: PC
Impact: High - unable to progress through main storyline

Adding my name to this list with issues arising with the quest "Into a Copper Hell" Despite a lot of other people having issues with the duty finder, I have had almost no issues with it today, except when you were doing your emergency maintenance (EM). After the first round of EM, I was unable to use the duty finder and turn in any quests or progress through any quests that used cutscenes where you click on the "destination" area and a cutscene plays. After the second round of EM, the duty finder is working for me and I just completed a run through the Copper Mines. However, after exiting the mines and returning to the Painted Mesa in Ul'dah - I cannot progress to the next portion of the quest.

When I speak to Painted Mesa I get a screen that says if you're above level 21 that you'll be synced down and after clicking "Ok" nothing happens. I eventually got a message (about 30 seconds later) the first time I tried turning it in that said there was an issue with "a system error occurred during event movement." I tried turning it in again and I was just stuck, not able to move, not able to log out, etc. I had to "alt + F4" to exit. Tried speaking with Painted Mesa after re-logging in and I got the same exact thing happening. So, at this point, I cannot progress through the main storyline past Painted Mesa.
