SPOILERS Softlock potential Ch. 14 - Toad

So I am running around in the sewers looking for Corneo's hidey hole when Leslie is hit by a monster and drops the alleged key to a door. Up until this point, I have killed everything in my path and looked for all Shinra boxes, chests, and monsters. I round the corner where three Sahagin lie in wait and proceed to kill them. At the same time I am killing the last Sahagin, it turns Cloud into a a toad.

- Can't use Esuna
- Can't use Maiden's Kiss
- Can't interact with any interactable objects (like the bench all the way back where the vending machine is located at)

There is a ladder at the end of that section that you are supposed to climb but can't interact with as a toad. There weren't any more fights to get into in the area since I had cleared out all the monsters. Unless I am mistaken and missed some ability/capability, this was a softlock. I reloaded from a prior manual save (thankfully at the door where Leslie looses the key since I suspected something crazy to happen).

Anyone else experience softlocks like this?

I ran into one in... late Chapter 17? I think? Maybe early Chapter 18? I forget where the cutoff is. The part where you're crawling through the vents to spy on the meeting in the conference room. Every time I looked down into one of the non-conference room vents, I'd get locked into that view. Nothing would let me out of it to go back to crawling through the vents. I ended up having to exit the game entirely because I couldn't even open the menu to return to title.

This isn't a soft lock due to the count down timer, but during the final phase of the Sephiroth fight the game glitched and wouldn't let me target him to attack, so I had to wait until his time ran down and he instakilled the party.
