STORY
A thousand years have passed since the events of the original FINAL FANTASY
CRYSTAL CHRONICLES. The destruction of the Yuke Crystal during the Great War
had at once brought the victorious Lilty Tribe prosperity, the defeated Yuke
Tribe apparent annihilation, and the world a new age of science and reason. In
this new era exists a rare breed of powerful beings called "crystal bearers,"
whose seemingly magical abilities have led them to be feared and scorned by
the public. The young mercenary Layle is one such crystal bearer, who has been
hired to escort the new passenger airship Alexis, the pinnacle of Lilty
technology and a symbol of their current dominance. However, when the Alexis
is suddenly besieged by a horde of monsters, Layle comes face-to-face with an
adversary thought to have vanished from the pages of history, on a quest that
may threaten the future of the world...
