Shantotto, the Love Doctor

 Doctor Shantotto has recently traveled to distant realms.

Excuse me, ma'am... Are you lost..?

 Shantotto the Great is here to save Eorzea...

 ...with the intense, burning fires...

 ...of love!

She has everyone just bursting with...

love?!?

I thought the girl wanted us to bring him chocolate, not get him arrested!?

Was this really a good idea..?

Ohohohohoho...

 And this costume... is it really necessary?

Ohohohoho! You look absolutely ridiculous!

But in the end, everything is allowed in war and love... wait a minute...

Doctor Shantotto, which one is this supposed to be..?

Mog Garden

There is this new place, the Mog Garden, where plants never wilt, because a Green Thumb Moogle actually looks after them. *Glaring at the ordinary Mog House Moogle*
The Mog Garden can be reached from any Mog House,even though it's somewhere far, far away.

It's still a bit of a mystery to Pasifika, but first of all...

It's on a small island.

There's a Green Thumb Moogle (left) who likes to tell how things work, a small crab called Crabauble (center) for no apparent reason, and a Porter Moogle (not pictured) for storing gear.

There are various activities available.

Sometimes there's cake... o_O Not always, just sometimes.

And of course there is a place to grow plants, the garden furrow.

Pasifika's gardening experiments so far: 

Herb seeds

 

They looks just like they did in the Mog house, but can be harvested more times. Nice.

Two-leaf mandra bud

Finally I can grow my own Mandragoras! They seem to be coming along nicely!

 ...but the harvest is only Cornettos, Saruta cotton and the like... Where are my Tiny Mandragoras!?

They could play on the beach with Crabauble... :o

How about this Golden Seebag, it must be something fancy...

Blooming Alraunes? *flips through the Know Your Mandragora book* Pachypodiums? O_o

It's very weird all in all, but the view is nice~

Unsung Heroines

Oh my... Are you all right?

It was Nakago who suggested a visit to the Heroine's Hodfast, where such famous ladies as Lilisette and Mumor await adventurers. After a couple of tries (to get the feeling of the place and the puzzles leading to each of the heroines) a party of brave adventurers visited - and defeated - all of these fearsome ladies.

Getting tho the heroine's chamber was a bit challenging in itself, and each heroine put on a good fight, backed up by an advisor - who, unfortunately, coundn't be silenced. At least the instructions also gave some advance warning of what was coming...

First up was Lion, with Gilgamesh providing tactical advice.

She was supposed to be the easiest, and she knew it, so she put up a fierce fight.

"Hey, Pasifika! Did ya miss me? To celebrate our reunion, here's a big fat knuckle sandwich!" -Prishe 

"Ya ready for this? Limit... Breeeeeeak!" -Prishe

 Oh, come on, Prishe! Don't be like that, just let me rise you like I did before at the Promathia fight..!

Nashmeira wasn't alone, she had both Ovjang and Mnajing with her, and Luzaf - of all people - giving her advice. 

Not fair! 

In the end, she was also defeated, of course.

"Pasifika! Who'd have though that we'd meet again as rivals? Don't let our friendship hold you back!" -Lilisette

...but rivals over what? Is it about who gets to keep the pretty kitty?

 

 Lilisette was alone at first - with only Cait Sith to cheer her on - but she somehow duplicated herself. Even Cait Sith was quite astonished about that.

No, wait! Let me grab the kitt-

 The final heroine was Mumor, the Fantastic Fraulein Superhero, with Uka Totlihn providing emotional support. Dhm was quite starstruck...

  

 ...but there was no time for autographs. Mumor had a bit of a... meltdown of sorts. o_O

"If I cannot safe this world... I shall destroy it! Ahahahahahaha! Burn! Burn! Burn!" -Mumor

Uka ended up giving the adventurers advice, as Mumor decended into madness... 

"All life shall die and be born anew! Final!!! Eternal!!! Heart!!!" -Mumor 

"I am eternal... immortal... I shall rise again..." -Mumor

Mumor was finally beaten, and so all life in the world need not die this time. 

This'll make her summer shows seem pretty different from now on, though...

Fashion Advice

 Lina has given Pasifika some good fashion advice before: 

A shirt that looks very nice AND boosts Hexa Strike? It's a winner!

This time Lina, Dhm and Nakago encouraged Pasifika to aquire an amazing (and very, very expensive) club as well as a nice melee attire - which didn't even cost any gil, just some of these new "sparks"... kids these days. It's a good thing the clothes didn't cost gil, though, since Pasifika pretty much had to sell the shirt off her back to pay for the club. All those savings...

The clothes turned out to be quite fashionable, as several people seemed to be wearing exactly the same thing. Or perhaps the attire has a very generic appearance... As Romidiat always says:
 "Can you tell what kind of equipment I'm wearing? You're probably thinking that you've seen this gear before, but it could be something entirely different despite the similarities in appearance." Words of wisdom.

While the clothes are quite common, the club isn't - although there are some with similar weapons (or perhaps the very same).

Oh yeah?! Well MY spiky friend says I don't have to give you anything!
