Thanks for posting with an excellent question. You've discovered one of the messier situations and this can get a little cumbersome, but one quest line had to take priority over the others as Mindy couldn't be in two places at once... I just imagined it as her putting everything else on hold for Misty, but more to the point, you should be able to proceed with Misty's quest line and then if all else remains unchanged, Jack's should be possible to resume after Misty's is completed.

That said, it's possible there could be bugs of this conflicting-quest nature that eluded me, so if you try that and it doesn't work out for you as I've described, please reach out again and let me know so I can look into it more thoroughly.

My apologies for the strangeness of the setup, but thank you for trying the game!

That's about what I assumed, but the issue is that Jack's side-quest is the one I need to do to get into the barrier (or so he says, unless it's a fakeout?), while Misty's requires me to be able to get into the barrier to progress.

A little bit of a paradox there, unless there's another way to get through the barrier? I've been wandering around for a while and haven't found anything

There are indeed multiple ways one can bypass the barrier, including one way that's slightly less reliable, but requires no interaction with the main story's characters. It's something of a fail-safe in the event the player chooses to ignore them entirely, or some other circumstance prevents progress during a playthrough (as is the case here for Jack's quest being temporarily put on hold in favor of Misty's.)

If you'd like a hint on how to find the always-available entrance... hmm let's see... you may wish to pay special attention to the names of seemingly insignificant NPCs and see if you can find any that are different from the majority. Particularly on the South end of the island.

If you need better hints, or want me to tell you outright, I can oblige. I just prefer to let folks discover it a bit for themselves first and give out clues unless they insist otherwise.
