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 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. Maybe it's time to get to know your companions in misfortune.

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 diplomacy can stop war, you could even start your own researches on the Crystals— Or you could make sure your house is the prettiest in all of Aqures Ixen. Anything is possible.

3/ Ukulele 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-Bait© so you can go and capture your own.

4/ 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 to you with a lot of Kupo. That's how the "network" works here.

5/ 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 go anywhere in a matter of hours — One can only hope you don’t have motion sickness.

6/ 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 some ancient ruins that may hold some precious information. With Airships and Chocobos at your disposal, you can go nearly anywhere that isn't under imperial control; unless you have a death wish of course.

7/ 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!

8/ Getting Jobs is hard
It all started when you asked Jessie 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 she simply asked you to assist her in her researches on the Crystals. Getting new Jobs is not easy. Consider yourself happy though, at least you don't have to do that alone.

9/ 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.

10/ Wild Card
Don't like the options offered here? Go crazy and choose what you want to do in this world!

As she smiled, seemingly ecstatic over the nostalgia that gave a more jolly spring to her step, the blond had to wonder if this was similar to how he felt. Piece by piece she had once helped him find himself again, throwing away the facade that molded him into a First Class SOLDIER and returning to the young man that she was proud to call 'messed up'. He confessed he wasn't the most emotional of people when it came to expressing himself, but that made those rare moments that his eyes would light up with happiness or the slight curl of his lips into a smile all the more worthwhile. It typically meant that he couldn't lie...easily at least. When he was happy, he would show it. Right now, he was glad he could possibly return the favor in such a big way over the next couple of years.

"Right."

But he knew that it wasn't over yet, a notion that almost seemed to go hand in hand with the faint nausea in the back of his mind that hadn't quite left yet. If he stayed out here for too long, even with Tifa providing a good distraction, it would catch up to him soon enough. Resting a hand on the brawler's shoulder as a sudden breeze nipped at the two, his cape blowing to the side as Molg finally perched down on his shoulder, the acerbic swordsman offered a change of scenery. "Wanna head back inside?" He didn't wanna say it so bluntly, but he didn't feel like getting sick in front of Tifa after all this time. Whether it was to her room or to his room, it didn't matter so much.

"We'll catch up some more or take it slow for now. Up to you."

For someone that had been surrounded closely by teammates that she considered friends for her entire short memory, it had been harder than she'd wanted to admit on Tifa winding up in a new world without anyone. She hadn't let it stop her and she'd known she'd make new friends, find new teammates but... it had been lonely, being on her own here. She would have been glad to see Cloud for a lot of reasons that ran the range from simply being a familiar piece of a brutal world she recognized to the deeper, quiet feeling of belonging that seemed to come over her whenever she was near him to the simplicity of the fact that she really had liked him, right from the first moment she'd met him, apparently again, on that rock surrounded by green and threatened by an enemy. And, chances were, she would have tagged along after him whether he'd welcomed her or not in this place, at least unless he'd made it very clear he didn't want her. This was better though, this feeling of being able to meet whatever came ahead next to someone she trusted, someone she wanted to stand next to. So she reached up and laid her hand over his where it rested on her shoulder for a moment. Even through their gloves it was a promise. Together. She didn't have to be alone anymore. Neither one of them did. She gave his hand a squeeze and then let go, turning toward the hatch that would lead below deck.

slowly... little by little... it'll come back...

"If you don't mind, maybe we can check on Red and Cid. That's my mog and chocobo. I left my pack with them and I've got some honey tea in it." The look over her shoulder was still bright, lighter than she'd felt in a long time, but there was a quiet comforting understanding in her eyes too for him. She hadn't forgotten the way he'd looked when she'd first come up. "We can talk about what we're doing here - and maybe some more about what we did before this world if you don't mind." He hadn't been wrong. There was a bounce to her step and it was that same happiness that had her catching his hand to head below and flashing him another smile. "Come on - "
