We are currently in a New Game+ to earn outstanding trophies. Lightning has arrived in Yusnaan and made her way through the Industrial Area for the Sneaking-In Special.
After resuming, Lightning passes through the open gate on the Supply Line (time 0:48). Naturally, Lumina comes along to cause a scene. And quite a scene it is.
After the scene, Lightning has to play with Lumina's pet Cyclops (time 3:10). Isn't that sweet? Somehow, though, I think the Dragon Quest Cyclopses are cuter. When he becomes enraged, he hits harder, but he is also easier to stagger, especially when he is preparing to deal crushing blows.
After the battle, good ol' Lumina causes another fun scene (time 3:56). Well, we won't be getting into the Patron's Palace that way...
Then, it will be time for Lightning to get out of the Warehouse District (time 5:19).
Atop some crates in the section to the west of the start, there is a treasure ball (time 6:44). It upgrades the Sight's Circlet to the Sight's Circlet+. It reduces the number of blows before a combo finisher. ATB recovery is lowered by 30, as opposed to 35 before. Accessory upgrade #27.
In the southwest, Lighting will relieve some skeletons of an ID Card that they no longer need (time 8:44).
The southern exit from the Warehouse District leads to the Underground Route, which provides a convenient passage to the south of town (time 9:58). At the southern end, she will have to examine the terminal to open the gate (time 11:50).
In the corner past the gate, there is a Desert Flame (time 12:03).
Nearby, there is a treasure ball with the Oath of the Merchants Guild (time 12:16).
In the west of Pleasure Alley, a treasure ball appears outside the hotel between 7 PM and 4 AM (time 13:29). It contains a Lapis Lazuli.
Then, Lightning examines the terminal by the gate to the Augur's Quarter (time 13:57). Using the ID Card gains her admittance. In the scene, Hope will present quite the audacious plan. Hope, if you're here for her, why aren't you HERE for her, eh?
Underneath the Statue of God in the Augur's Quarter, there is a treasure ball (time 18:32). It upgrades the Corundum Pin to the Corundum Pin+. Now, it boosts max HP by 12% rather than 10%. Accessory upgrade #28.
The Assistant Director indicates that the Director is peeved because he doesn't know what to do for the grand finale ... well, Lightning can oblige him!
Atop the northwest balcony, Lightning finds Director Sarzhak (time 19:33).
The treasure ball in the northwest can be reached by leaping down from the balcony (time 20:52). This treasure ball upgrades the Demon Earrings to the Demon Earrings+. They still increase ATB cost by 10. Now, they raise Strength and Magic by 40%, rather than 30%. Accessory upgrade #29.
Another treasure ball is on the northeast balcony (time 22:01). It used to contain the Thorn of Will. Now, it contains 1,500 gil.
Then, Light chats with the Fireworks Boss working near the statue (time 22:17). He sends her around town to collect fireworks from pyrotechnicians and others around town. If Lightning has learned the chocobo girls' catch phrase from the posters around town, she can get fireworks from them. Also, there are two quests that can only be performed at this point in the story.
On the Side Street, Lightning finds one Chocobo Girl who will give her a Fireworks (time 24:57). At least this girl is not as bad as the others!
At Cactuar Plaza, Lightning finds the Proud Pyrotechnician (time 26:47). He hands over 3 Fireworks.
Along Central Ave., she finds the Drunk Pyrotechnician (time 28:42). Swell. Before he hands over any Fireworks, he wants Light to complete the quest "Fireworks in a Bottle." She has to bring a bottle of Bacchus's Brew from the Banquet of the Lord.
Along eastern Hawker's Row, a Chocobo Girl can be found between the Outfitters and the Hotel (time 30:24). She hands over one more Fireworks.
Up at the Banquet of the Lord restaurant, Lightning has to talk to the Banquet Maitre D' to get the Bacchus's Brew (time 31:11). It costs 1,000 gil.
Lightning quickly delivers the Bacchus's Brew to the Drunk Pyrotechnician (time 32:11). He hands over 4 Fireworks, and "Fireworks in a Bottle" is concluded.
A Chocobo Girl can be found along western Hawker's Row west of the guard shack (time 35:31). She hands over a Fireworks after quite a shriek.
At Yusnaan Station, a little southwest of the station entrance, Lightning finds the Sloppy Pyrotechnician (time 36:07). He hands over 2 Fireworks.
In a cranny to the west of the station, there is a musical treasure ball (time 37:09). It holds the Nostalgic Score: Coda.
