Ann and her Sisters
The player needs to talk to six sisters that work as Chief Stewards aboard the leisure craft airships that connect the largest cities of Ivalice. If the player fails to complete the quest, the six sisters will be forced into an arranged marriage.

To start the quest, take the Bhujerba/Rabanastre flight via leisure craft in the Aerodrome and talk to Ann, the Chief Steward at the Sky Saloon. Agreeing to help her begins the sidequest, which will can only be completed after visiting the Balfonheim Port.

The player must ride all the Skyferry routes and talk to all the sisters to deliver the letter. After completing the quest, the player will receive the Ring of Renewal for their trouble.

Deathgaze


The Mark Deathgaze can be taken up on the skyferries. The hunt is accepted from a boy in the aerodrome and will appear randomly when the player is traveling on a skyferry. When Deathgaze attacks a skyferry with the party onboard, they can go on the deck and fight it, but they can also take their time and talk to the scared passengers. The party can also seek shelter in the cabin. There's seven possible scenarios, depending on which skyferry is attacked.

Treasures
There are no treasures to be found on the skyferries in the original version.

In the International Zodiac Job System version, there is a secret invisible treasure chest that can be found randomly on the Airdeck of a Skyferry airship. Since the treasure is invisible, the player will only find it if they bump into it. Additionally the hidden chest will only spawn 1% of the time. There is an 80% chance the chest will contain exactly 10 gil. It's normal treasure is nothing but junk Knot of Rusts. However with the Diamond Armlet equipped, it can contain a Knot of Rust, or the Rare Treasure (5% chance), the Seitengrat, a new ultimate bow. The Seitengrat has the highest attack stat in the game, at 224.

Ultimately the odds of finding the Seitengrat are 0.01% or 1 in 10,000. If the player acquires the Seitengrat an arrow will appear in the sky in the Cerobi Steppe suspended a few feet in the air.

Musical themes
The music that plays in the skyferries is called "Heart of a Child". It also appears in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call.
