Episode Complete bug

The Episode Complete Bug is a bug that may prevent the player from receiving the Mascot Dressphere in Final Fantasy X-2. Normally, after achieving an Episode Complete in an area, the player is automatically taken straight back to the Celsius. Once all fifteen episodes are complete, the Mascot dressphere is given to the player on the Celsius. However when the player achieves an Episode Complete in Zanarkand, the player is not transported back to the Celsius, and if this is the last episode to be completed, the Mascot Dressphere will not be awarded.

This bug can be avoided by completing the Zanarkand episode first. If Zanarkand is completed last, there is still a way to obtain the Mascot Dressphere. If the player completes the Den of Woe sidequest, the player will be transported by to the Celsius upon completion and Mascot will be awarded. If this sidequest has already been completed or the player lacks the Crimson Spheres required to open the Den of Woe, the Mascot Dressphere cannot be obtained.
