Glitches on me

I was absolutely loving playing this game again, reliving old Final Fantasy is like coming home again. Until it glitched on me. Im stuck at Oielvert. Cant enter the castle, cant see a moogle there. Cant activate the root scene where you climb down into the basin, and cant leave the continent until I finish the mission - totally stuck. Updated the game but nothing has changed. Closed and restarted the game. Still no dice :(
