I've been trying to access Route Z, but the rift isn't showing up. For reference, I've been following Bigjra's guide somewhat closely. I say somewhat because I cut down the pink sapling before it said to in the guide. I just did it during the main storyline in the game, whereas Bigjra returns to the past and does it later. I wouldn't think this would matter, but this is the only thing that I can imagine is causing the rift to not show up on Route 2. Any ideas?
There's a Reddit post where someone has pretty much the exact same issue, but no information on how to resolve it:
