The Lantern Festival and the Wishes

This information is taken from my General Guide but as it is an interesting aspect of Tides of Destiny, albeit not terribly significant, I thought I would include it in a Post as well.

The Lantern Festival begins at 8.00 p.m. at the beach and ends at midnight. You can enter the Beach area at any time. If you enter before 8.00 p.m., there will be a flash of white light at 8.00 p.m. and the Festival then will begin.

Unlike some of the Lantern or Firefly Festivals in other games, the Lantern Festival in Tides of Destiny is not very dramatic. Very few Characters in fact will attend. Violet is in charge and you must speak to her to obtain the option to launch a Lantern. If you decline, you will be able to speak to her again at any point until midnight for the option to be renewed.

Violet will ask you to write down your wish and you will have a choice:

I wish I could use magic better.
I want to control the giant better.
I want to eat more.
I want to be rich.
I wish I was stronger.

In every result, Freyr's wish was granted upon awakening the next morning. The effects of the wishes are as follows:

I wish I could use magic better.
Your Wind Magic skill increased!
Note that this result can vary considerably in terms of the type of Magic that is affected by the Wish.

I want to control the giant better.
As you can see by the following results, the type of Control that improves can vary from result to result:
In one result:
Your Golem Stamina skill increased!
In another result:
Your Raising Islands skill increased!

I want to eat more.
This can be the most profitable wish by far as Freyr was given the following:
Croquettes x 9 at a value of 1330G each.
Cookie x 9 at a value of 420G each
Fried Love Snapper x 9 at a value of 580G each.

In a different result, however, he was less fortunate, having obtained the following three dishes:
Failed Dish x 9 at 5G each.
Popcorn x 9 at 180G each.
Sandwich x 9 at 970G each.

I want to be rich.
Freyr received Gold Ore x 3
Again, you may receive different Items in other results.

I wish I was stronger.
Freyr increased by a full Level. Note that even this is variable, however, as each time he went to bed and awakened, his stats were a little different. In other words, although your Character's general Level will increase to the next Level, his Strength, Stamina and Intelligence may increase a little more or a little less in each result.

  1. One of the options for me was
    "I want to be popular" and it was granted the next morning but I couldn't discern any of the outcomes.

  2. The outcome of that wish should be an increase in FP, but the amount by which it increases probably varies from result to result as well as the number of Characters who are affected by the Wish.

  3. P.S. I didn't do enough research with respect to that Wish to tell you if every Character is affected or only a random selection. You would have to save your game before you make the Wish AND look at every Character's FP level, then make the Wish, go to bed and look at every Character's FP the next morning. I will do it myself when I have time...
