This is video #021 in my playthrough of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. This video contains commentary. To view the non-commentary version, click here: http://youtu.be/22yH5Syylfw Lightning has arrived at the Augur's Quarter in Yusnaan, thanks to an ID Card she found in the Warehouse District. Hope has come up with an explosive new plan for getting Lightning into Snow's palace. On top of the northwest platform in the Augur's Quarter, Light will find the director of the show, Sarzhak (time 0:42). For some reason, he has little reservation about helping. In the northwest corner, there is a nook where a treasure ball contains Demon Earrings (time 2:14). By the statue, Lightning will find the fireworks boss (time 2:38). He looks rather like an islander from Final Fantasy X. He wants Light to gather fireworks from pyrotechnicians around the city. He gives her the Boss's Note to show to the workers. There are also others who have fireworks. In fact, there are a couple of missable quests for getting fireworks. Directly underneath the statue, there is a treasure ball containing a Corundum Pin (time 4:48). Atop the northeast platform, a treasure ball contains a Thorn of WIll (time 5:14). Back in Pleasure Alley, Lightning can collect the contents of a semi-hidden treasure ball west of the hotel: Lapis Lazuli (time 5:46). I overlooked this earlier. In the Side Alley east of Pleasure Alley, Lightning can find a Chocobo Girl (time 6:20). If Lightning has read one of the chocobo posters around town, she will be able to speak the password: "Meow-meow, choco-chow." The girl will reward her with Fireworks. Berdy is still flat on his back near the Fountain Square. One of the fireworks workers, the Proud Pyrotechnician, is in the Cactuar Plaza (time 8:14). He will hand over three Fireworks. After performing a little ability synthesis in Armor Alley, Lightning runs into another Chocobo Girl (time 14:57). After another moment of humiliation, Lightning earns another set of Fireworks. In the Coliseum Square, she finds another fireworks worker, the Cowardly Pyrotechnician (time 15:47). He gratefully hands over three Fireworks. I don't think this guy should be handling fireworks, to be honest. Along Central Avenue, Lightning finds another fireworks worker, the Drunk Pyrotechnician (time 17:33). This one is most uncooperative. In order to get fireworks from him, Light must carry out the quest "Fireworks in a Bottle" to bring him some booze. Oh, the things we do... Along southeastern Hawker's Row, she will find another Chocobo Girl (time 19:05). After another moment of humiliation, she earns more Fireworks. In the Banquet of the Lord, Lightning can purchase the Bacchus's Brew that the Drunk Pyrotechnician wants (time 19:53). It is not cheap, at 1,000 gil a bottle. One of the fireworks workers, the Sloppy Pyrotechnician, is setting up just outside Yusnaan Station (time 21:48). He will hand over two Fireworks. He seems a bit careless. In western Hawker's Row near the entrance to the Glutton's Quarter, Light can find the fourth and final Chocobo Girl (time 23:03). When she embarrasses herself yet again, the Chocobo Girl awards her more Fireworks. Also, since Light has talked to all four Chocobo Girls, she is rewarded with a "super special kitty costume": the Miqo'te Dress. This dress is modeled after the Miqo'te in Final Fantasy XIV. It comes with the Mediguard+ and Magic Slash abilities. In Glutton's Quarter, on the ramp leading to the Road to War, Lightning will find Funicula (time 24:57). He hopes to sell fireworks, but his fireworks have been stolen by a monsters. So, Light must carry out the quest "Fireworks for a Steal" to get the fireworks back. The monster that stole the fireworks is nearby along the Road to War (time 26:51). This is a Skata'ne that will drop five Fireworks. Now, Lightning could just take the Fireworks, but it is better to return them to Funicula (time 28:16). He will lead the way to his fireworks stall. When he gets there, Light can talk with him again (time 28:54). He will reward her with *seven* Fireworks, not to mention a private fireworks show, 1,300 gil, a Vanguard Headdress, and some stat boosts! That's almost it for the Fireworks collecting. Before delivering the Fireworks to the Augur's Quarter, however, Light will be taking a side trip to Luxerion for a quest. Thanks for watching!
