Little Ladies' Day & Hatching-tide

Two festivals joined by a blossoming dream is the joint event of the Little Ladies' Day and Hatching-tide in 2024 in Final Fantasy XIV.
The event is started by accepting the sidequest by talking to the Jihli Aliapoh at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre in Old Gridania (X:10.2 Y:9.4).
==History==
Jihli Aliapoh described that she had a dream about a goobbue on a stage in Ul'dah and planned to hold a joint celebration of the Hatching-tide and Little Ladies' Day. However, she must first convince the Little Ladies' Day planners that the goobbue artist she has hired poses no danger to people. The royal seneschal traveled from Ul'dah on behalf of his peers, and Jihli instructed them to visit the goobbue in Bentbranch Meadows.
After being dazzled by the masterful display of Aldemund's companion, Peatie, the royal seneschal was convinced that she would be the perfect choice for Little Ladies' Day. However, Peatie suffers from a case of stage fright, and Aldemund asked Warrior of Light to ride on the goobbue's head to reassure her while she smiles at people. After a successful little tour of Bentbranch Meadows, the pair returned to Aldemund. Although Aldemund believes that his place on Ul'dah's stage is guaranteed, the final decision depends on the judgment of the royal seneschal.
The royal seneschal invites Peatie and Aldemund to Ul'dah so that the goobbue can be the main attraction at this year's Little Ladies' Day. Enlisting the help of the Warrior of Light to comfort Peatie as she gets used to the crowd, the royal seneschal sets off for Ul'dah to make preparations for the big debut. Aldemund and Peatie have business to attend to in Gridania before following them, so the artist asks the Warrior of Light to go ahead and await their arrival. The royal seneschal reports that the Little Ladies' Day planning committee has agreed to welcome Peatie with open arms and invites the Warrior of Light to help stir up interest in the entertainment to come. Once the moment for the performance arrived, the amount of guests caused Peatie to freeze, but Aldemund suggests that Warrior of Light revive her spirits. Although Peatie is initially very frightened, a few heartfelt words manage to free her from the clutches of fear and give her a new sense of determination.
Peatie takes to the stage and dazzles everyone present with her performance, receiving much applause that makes her smile with pride. The show is the talk of Ul'dah, and Peatie revels in the people's adoration. Realizing that she must continue on this path and that her best days as a performer are behind her, Aldemund asks the Warrior of Light to take Peatie on his adventures. The royal seneschal and Jihli Aliapoh encourage the Warrior of Light to enjoy the rest of the celebrations in Ul'dah and Gridania.
