Check out Fran and Naomi’s Date Activities
You will need to play both Pirate’s Rampage and Run Wild minigames in Costa del Sol. For Pirate’s Rampage you will play a Ghost Ship variant of it, where your accuracy will matter. If you score 18,000 points you’ll unlock the Armor: Abyssal Bangle.
For Run Wild you will have a Time Trial, where you will need to score goals in the correct order quickly.
Meet Up with Yorda
Now head outside Costa del Sol to the Rent-a-Bird Stables to find Yorda.
Head to Clamshell Beach
Head down to Clamshell Beach, then defeat the Barnaclaws.
Gather Shells
Mount your chocobo and search for shells with 
when an orange “?” icon appears. There are a bunch of dig spots here, some will contain 3 gil while others will have a Barnaclaw. Just keep searching and you will find the shells.
Deliver a Shell
Now return to Yorda and give her one of the shells. The gigantopod shell will give the best result.
Attend the Fashion Showcase
Return to Costa Beach for the show.

Do the different shells give different results in the fashion show?
I’m not sure if the different shells give a different cutscene or not, but the level 3 shell gives the gold star result on the side quest menu.
Hello! Does the scores for the versions of the mini games in this quest affect the 7-star hotel trophy in any way?
During the quest no, you can get whatever you want. Later on in the game you will unlock a 3-star score requirement for those minigames and will have to beat that score even if you did it during the quest.
Hi, in addition to the gigantopod shell you also need rank 2 for both minigames to get the gold star. I went crazy resetting all side quests and doing them all up to this one for five times!
