I'm writing this for a neighbor with no computer.
He's in the Salikawood, and when he tries to talk to Boss Moogle, there is nothing said about finding the 9 apprentices. Boss Moogle only speaks of how they were attacked and the King saved them.
My friend has gone on one hunt in the wood (I believe it was something with a bunny?) and defeated the King Bomb, prior to going to the North-Eastern gate.
He checked the map after talking to Boss Moogle, but the map was not marked where to find the apprentices.
I don't know what's going on, I found my way to the Phon coast no problem, but I didn't defeat King Bomb nor do any hunts...
I've tried Googling this to no avail.
Thanks
