Walkthrough

You must talk with the event moogle in one of the following locations for instructions or you will get no reward:

• Northern San d'Oria (D-8)
• Bastok Markets (G-8)
• Windurst Waters (F-5)

You may want to create macros to quickly respond to events in the performance:

• Slap - /slap <t>
• Yes - /yes <t>
• No - /no <t>
• Wave - /wave <t>

Go and find Prince Yahiko and Princess Amdina in the area. The pair are each wearing a yukata and will walk down a predetermined path:

• In Bastok Markets, they start at E-11 and head up Kulatz Bridge, then head down Gold Street until they stop around J-9.
• In Northern San d'Oria, they will start around F-6 (lower level) and proceed up and across the boardwalk until ending at intersection in F-7
• In Windurst Waters, they start at G-7 near the Home Point, and walk a round trip circling Huntsman's Court before going back to the starting point.

It is possible to join partway though a performance, however, if you join too late you will receive no reward at the end and must wait until next round. (From personal experiences, "too late" may be within the first couple lines of their dialogue.)

Listen to the dialogue as you follow them around. When Princess Amdina has a positive thought, you should nod (/yes, targeted at the Princess) at her, when she has a negative thought, shake your head (/no) at her (her thoughts are enclosed in parentheses, you do not need to respond to her dialogue). See below for a list of lines and their correct responses. If the princess becomes too discouraged she will turn around and return to the starting point or last pause point.

Periodically, a groupie will try and grab the attention of the Prince. In San d'Oria, the name will be Loaranne, in Windurst, Lavnana, and in Bastok, Hiltrude. Wave (/wave) at the groupie to distract them (they should respond with a "What?") When you wave at them, they will make eye contact with you. You can only wave once. You lose eye contact after a short period of time or until someone else waves at them. Once eye contact is made, stand so that they face away from the couple. The Prince and Princess will continue walking uninterrupted. But, if the Prince starts talking to the groupie, slap (/slap) him until he returns to the Princess. Failure to distract the groupie or slap the Prince, will cause the Prince to leave the Princess and she will go back sadly to the starting point or last pause point.

When they reach their final destination, wait for the final lines of dialogue to be spoken ("I will never forget this night of our reunion"), speak to the Princess for your reward. If you think you arrived too late and don't think you'll receive your item, keep talking to her. You may still receive it.
