1/ Welcome To The World Of Crystallis!
You have seen reality shatter and collapse around you, in the depths of the void you found a Crystal and now you are in the city of Aqures Ixen, surrounded by Moogles and people as lost and confused as you are. On the bright side, everyone thinks you're a legendary Hero! On the downside, they expect you to save the world. Maybe their expectations are a bit too much. Thankfully, you're not abandoned to your fate as a Moogle explains to you everything you need to know. It's probably time to get to know your companions in misfortune. Besides, it seems this has occurred very often this past year-- Maybe the characters who have been here for longer than you may help.
2/ Do You Like Your New Life?
No? Well, either way, you better get used to it, to your new powers, to your new house, to the ball of fur that follows your every steps—Who knows, maybe you'll even make some friends here. Besides, even if everyone expects you to save the world, fighting isn't the only way to do so. Maybe you could open a shop to help and properly equip your friends who are actually eager to fight. Maybe you could try and gather people who think it is possible to negotiate with the Calamity, you could even participate in the research on the Crystals— Or you could make sure your house is the prettiest of them all in Aqures Ixen. Anything is possible!
3/ Neighborhood Woes...
The government of Aqures Ixen is sorry, but there are too many of you Heroes of Light. Hence why there are no free houses left in district dedicated to housing you. This may also be why you're not alone in the house that was given to you. Hopefully you're not living with a mad villain plotting to take over the world and hopefully your neighbor isn't a singer who doesn't know how to sing. On the bright side, you may have be living with someone very cool and maybe an artist of great talent lives next door! It's just not likely.
4/ Crystallis De Chocobo
Upon arrival, your Moogle gave you a map of Crystallis. This world may be a bit big for you to explore, so why not go to the Chocobo Farm and ask for a Chocobo? These big birds can't fly, but they're much more efficient than horses when it comes to travelling. Maybe it's your first time riding a Chocobo; it might be a good idea to have someone with you in case something goes wrong. Or maybe the old man at the farm didn't have any Chocobos left and gave you some Chocobo Lure© so you can go and capture your own. You can find details on Chocobo Capture here.
5/ A Thing Called Mognet
Hopefully you weren't used to Internet and cellphones back home. Otherwise, you might be a tiny bit confused when your Moogle returns to you with a stack of letters. Or maybe someone else's Moogle is coming to you with a voice message it learnt by heart and is now going to recite it to you with a lot of Kupo. That's how the "network" works here.
6/ A Thing Called Strike
In spite of how old-fashioned it is, Mognet is very useful and odds are that you may have become dependent on it. Hopefully not, because one local tradition seems to be Mognet Strikes. Nobody knows any more whether the Moogles have legitimate reasons to go on strike or if they are just lazy. But today, Mognet is down, and to get information you have no choice but going to the public board in the third district or in taverns.
7/ I Believe I Can fly~
You are on an Airship! Airships regularly depart from Aqures Ixen and stop by most major cities in the world, so they're the perfect means of transportation for you to go and explore this world. You can also borrow the Heroes of Light's official Airship, the Enterprise and some characters even have their own airship! You can go anywhere in a matter of hours — One can only hope you don’t have motion sickness.
8/ Exploration
Enough expository banter. Now is the time to explore. Maybe rather than spending most of your time in Aqures Ixen, you'd rather spend it living in Balicea, or betting on Chocobo Races in Trano Golsaucia. Or maybe you'd rather go and explore the ancient ruins that may hold some precious information in the continent of ruins. With Airships and Chocobos at your disposal, you can go nearly anywhere!
9/ Random Encounter
You were minding your own business walking around, and suddenly monsters attacked you! Time to put to use the skills you've learned with your Jobs! Alternatively, maybe this encounter isn't random at all, and you have been sent on a mission to kick some imperial asses in the war confronting the Heran Empire and the Republic of Esdham. Good luck!
10/ Getting Jobs Is Hard
It all started when you asked Cid to give you a new Job. What could and should have been a formality, quickly turned into a trial. All you wanted was a Job, and here you are in the wild, hunting for a Malboro Vine. Or maybe you are in some ancient and decrepit ruins looking for an artifact. Or yet again, maybe he simply asked you to assist him to clean the laboratory. Getting new Jobs is not easy. Consider yourself happy though, at least you don't have to do that alone.
11/ The World Is Subject To Unrelenting Pain and Suffering…
This is why you should play a game. After all, there are things a lot more important than saving the world: Blitzball is one of them. Triple Triad is another. Why don't you take a break and do something different for once; anyone wanting to play Blitzball is given a special potion allowing them to breath underwater, whereas someone who wants to play Triple Triad should have no difficulties finding veterans more than happy to get rid of their low level cards.
12/ Events Of The Past
Missed an event you would have liked to participate in? The Test Drive Meme is the perfect place to play this event without being restricted by the game's chronology! Maybe you would have liked to be lost and attacked from all sides in the creepy Magitek Research Facility or maybe you'd have liked to celebrate the Christmas of Crystallis. Yet again, maybe you would have preferred to regain your true powers and subsequently be on your path to death, as in The Night of the Thirteen Moogles or chase ghosts for a living. Or how about reliving some of your Worst Memories or fighting in A War for future of the world?
13/ Wild Card
Don't like the options offered here? Go crazy and choose what you want to do in this world!

Hisui Hearts | Tales of Hearts R
[Evolving your Soma was so much easier than having to buy new gear all of the time. Hisui tilted his head as he looked around the various wares, wondering if this was really how otherworlders got along without utilizing their Spiria.]
[ b | i believe i can f l y ]
[Sure, he rode atop of Warheit with the others, but taking to the skies is still an amazing experience that never got old. Hisui must have looked like a little kid with wide eyes looking over the railing, exclaiming at every sight he could see.]
[ c | e x p l o r a t i o n ]
[Tomb raiding was never something that Hisui considered a past time, but hey, when in Rome
never mind he doesn't know what Rome is... given that he's the only one in the Hearts cast that's even dressed appropriately for any kind of adventuring whatsoever, he may as well make some use of it. Besides, exploring the abandoned cities of Quartzia was kind of like ruins spelunking, right? And maybe he could find a way home. Unfortunately, he's not as adept at jumps as his little sister, so when Hisui tried jumping from one ledge to another he promptly fell onto his ass.]Ow...
[ d | the w o r l d is s u b j e c t ]
[Hisui just blinked at the gigantic sphere with blitzball - he never really got comfortable with the idea of swimming, and he wasn't about to start. Instead he decided to just head on back to the tables and try his hand at Triple Triad - that seemed easy enough, right?]
[ e | w i l d card ]
[Go wild.]
no subject
why, it's even enough to make her smile. just a little. ) Well, I can see you're a professional at this sort of thing.
no subject
Well, it wasn't too bad of a fall. Nothing seems broken aside from my pride.
[shrugs as he gets up, dusting himself off.]
You got wind of these ruins holding something amazing, too?
no subject
But I sure did find something idiotic.
no subject
Sigh.
[Hisui would normally blow his top completely, but he manages to just grit his teeth with a fairly annoyed exhalation before slinging an insult right back.]
You want to talk about idiotic, what's with bringing that parasol into a ruins? You afraid the sunlight gonna burn?
no subject
( with her nose in the air, edna walked past him and to the edge of the path. without looking back, a sudden gust of wind propelled her forward as she silently cast aero and came to a gentle, soft landing, floating with the help of her umbrella.
turning, she stuck out her tongue his way, and continued on. )
no subject
[Then again, back in his world many unconventional things could be considered weapons. So a parasol wasn't completely out of the question. Her attitude, though, that raised all sorts of inquisitive marks.]
Hey, these are designer brand goggles, and they're useful in almost any other situation!
[grr]
Besides, maybe I could shoot laser beams out of them!
[he can't.]
[ b | i believe i can f l y ]
"This is pretty awesome, right?" he said.
no subject
[Hisui grinned. He was not one of them. Swimming was another thing entirely, though.]
Just being able to see from the point of view of a bird just makes everything else seem... small, you know?
no subject
[of course, back home, airships were only slowly becoming demilitarized, and there were a lot of people in the Earth Kingdom that wouldn't look on a Fire Nation product kindly]
Even if you didn't like heights, you could still ride inside and get somewhere much quicker than riding a cart.
[Toph would like it much better than riding Appa, since it was made of metal. Man, he missed Toph.]
no subject
[Hisui crosses his arms, deep in thought though.]
It also brings up the unpleasant possibility of malfunctions, and given that airships can travel over land, they could very well crash into towns.
no subject
Depends on how well you can steer them. There's a lot of countryside compared to towns, and they can circle around cities to land.
D.
[The winner of the previous game appears to be a cheerful young lady with long brown hair, holding her hand up to her mouth in obvious delight. If Hisui is any good at Triple Triad, he might notice that this girl not only won, she completely trounced the poor woman who's slumped in despair across the table from her.]
'But...but you're just a beginner...were you lying about that?'
Lying! Oh, no! I'm just...really good with numbers, that's all.
[The girl's smile is sweet, almost bashful. She reaches across the table to squeeze her opponent's hand.]
Don't give up. I'd like to play you again sometime!
[After the two have separated, the girl looks up at Hisui and beams.]
Hello! Are you my next opponent?
[She bows in her seat, the epitome of politeness.]
I'm Akane. Nice to meet you!
no subject
[Hisui scratched his cheek. She seemed so unsuspecting, but the way she completely decimated her previous opponent belied her guileless smile. He takes a seat.]
I'm a beginner too, but I'm not as adept with numbers as you are. Mostly I prefer brute force.
[He feigns a smile.]
Not to mention the cards I got handed off to me are absolute crap.
... should we even bother with the formality of playing if you're just going to win?
no subject
[She smiles, her fingers curled lightly against her mouth.]
But if you're worried about your deck, we could switch temporarily and see if you have any better luck. Besides, you might have some interesting strategies I can learn, just like I might have some tricks you wind up copying too.
[Akane presents her modest little deck of cards, should he wish to borrow it for their game. She started out with pretty common cards too, but she's managed to win a couple of good ones to start boosting her deck's potential.]
no subject
Naw, it's fine. For a winner, you sure are graceful.
[There was just something about her that reminded him of his little sister, Kohaku. It wasn't in the way they looked or even the way they composed themselves, but it was just the inherent sweetness and the feeling when looking at them that everything would work out.]
Let's do this.
[He takes a seat and takes out his cards, shuffling them however he can.]
So you're new here, too?
