Walkthrough
This year's newest mini-game has three steps:


 * Step 1: Choose a row and a column to dig up a present three times. You need at least one present to move on to the next step.
 * Draw the first letter of the element matching the day on the grid to find the gifts.
 * 1-4, 3-3, 4-3, 5-2 consistently resulted in gifts on Iceday
 * 3-3 and 1-4 resulted in gifts on Lightningday
 * Lightsday - "L" (All of Column 1 and all of Row 5)
 * Darksday - "D" (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-1, 2-5, 3-1, 3-5, 4-1, 4-2, 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 5-4)
 * 1-1, 1-5, 3-3, 5-2, 5-5 resulted in gifts on Earthsday
 * 1-1, 1-3, 3-1, on Watersday
 * 2-2, 4-2, 2-4, resulted in gifts on Windsday


 * Step 2: The rows of plants and chicks represent your keyboard. The chicks are standing in the spots of the letters you need and they dance in the order you need to use the letters.
 * Password is: iloveyou
 * i love you (with the spaces also works)


 * Step 3: Choose the path you want the chocobo to take to get to his love. It seems that the chocobo turns at each bud on the pathway, unsure what makes the chocobo choose which direction to turn. A rival chocobo will race against you.
 * Sometimes neither chocobo gets the correct path and the potential mate may run and pick your chocobo, resulting in a win.
 * Sometimes even if you picked the correct path, the potential mate may still reject your chocobo and you will fail.
 * If the rival gets to the potential mate, you fail as well.
 * Note: If at any time you fail, simply trade Gysahl Greens to the NPC to try again.

Rewards

 * Repeating the mini-game will win you:

Talk to the event Moogle for a description of the event. Find the NPCs called Valentione Single of the same gender as you (widescan really helps). Talk to them, and receive the left and right pieces of a chocolate heart. They will tell you what kind of person they're looking for in a romantic partner and give an indication about their own personality.

Collect all the chocolate halves from all 4 males or females, and be sure to remember or write down their preferences (both race and personality). Trade your right half to another player for another right half they will get from their npcs that the Valentione Single prefer. Match the left and right pieces and trade them as a pair to an event Moogle to combine them into a whole chocolate. Trade the whole chocolates back to the appropriate single (named on the chocolate; see below) and speak to the Moogle again. The Moogle will tell you how good your pairings were and give you a choice of rewards.


 * For example: If your Hume says they like Tarutaru, trade the Moogle the Amour L and the Desire R to make a whole Amour Chocolate, then trade that back to your Hume.

The easiest way to complete this quest is to team up with a PC of the opposite sex. Each of you collects the chocolate halves from each gender, then trade each other all the right-hand pieces. It is not necessary to match your single's preferences with theirs. However, the more traits you match (race, gender, personality) the higher your score will be, and the better your prize. While teaming up with another PC might be a good way to merely complete the quest, the odds of getting four perfect matches this way are low. To maximize points and insure the best prizes, it might be preferable to talk to many different PC's until you are able to trade the proper right-hand pieces of chocolate to obtain four perfect matches. Points are not cumulative as they are in some other event quests.


 * You may only accept the quest from the event moogle once per game day.

Personality Types
Guesses about which personality type matches which chat text:


 * Female
 * Shy: Aaah!Oh...hi! Um, today is...and I...well, that is... I can't bring myself to say it!
 * Modest: Hello...I may not look like much, but I do hope to meet a nice guy...
 * Kind: Why, hello! This looks like quite an exciting event, doesn't it? I hope I can also meet a nice guy.
 * Cheerful: Hiya! I've been waiting for you, sugar! Going to find a real sweetheart for me, are you? Yay!
 * Male
 * Shy: N-no way! I can meet...a woman? One that...likes me!? ...Oh, wow!
 * Cool-headed: Hey, I heard you're playing the matchmaker around here.
 * Honest: I have been waiting all my life for this! You'll match me up with a girl, right? Wow, me and a girl, together! Imagine!
 * Cheerful: Oh, I've been waiting for this moment! You'll help me find my perfect woman, right? Wow, thank you!!!
 * Notes
 * The personality of the NPCs will remain the same for the duration of the quest no matter which town you go to.
 * E.G. If you find a Tarutaru male that is honest and cancel before accepting the chocolate, then all Tarutaru males, regardless of which nation you go to, will be honest for the duration of your quest.
 * The personality of the NPCs can change when accepting a new quest.
 * You can not obtain another chocolate from the NPC for the duration of the quest.
 * The right chocolate pieces information will remain the same regardless if you zone, log off, traded, and/or complete the quest.
 * E.G. If you receive a right chocolate piece from a honest Tarutaru male, that piece will forever be a chocolate piece from a honest Tarutaru male.
 * You can not start a new quest with chocolate pieces in your inventory.

Autographed Wands
If you are in a party of two, and are in the same zone when you talk to the Moogle to finish the event, the wands will be signed with your partner's name. In order to get the +1 version autographed, the NQ version must be autographed by that same person; otherwise you'll be given a +1 with no signature at all.
 * Storing a signed wand with the Event Item Storer will remove the signature when you remove the item from storage.
