— Most importantly, have fun!


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!

ahahaha, poor thing, i wish i could pass her a fly-swatter

( oh, this rotten little witch.

so she did know. well, airy is at a bit of a loss, and even goes so far as to still, feigning stunned silence. the tightening of the bag's drawstrings is the only thing to jar her from her embittered thoughts.

airy considers her options, ignoring the panicking moogles and the annoying envelope digging into her side. she could change forms, tear agnes' head off, and be on her way... or she could push her luck and see if revenge is as sweet as they say.

she gives a pained, horrified whimper. )


A-Agnes...? I don't understand... Why would you say that?

( her tone grows in urgency and-- oh, that's right, she really is stuck here... she wiggles fitfully, trying to squirm her way up to the surface. )

I don't understand! Agnes, I'm scared! If I did something wrong, if I failed you and Luxendarc, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Agnes, so please help me! Don't leave me here!

[ It's the whimper that makes Agnès falter, the thought that Airy really is as vulnerable as she's always looked, and Agnès has just been cruel and caused her pain... but no. No! She knows Airy isn't as innocent as she pretends, and she tightens her hold on the bag as she takes a step away from the moogles--though they're quick to follow. What to do, what to do...?! ]

S-stop lying! There is very little point. As though I could forget how you tried to hurt me and my true friends! [ She wishes her voice could come out firmer and only show her anger, but there's no hiding how shaken she is as her pitch quickly climbs toward 'shrill'. ]

( poor daft agnes... is what airy would think if she wasn't so irritated. what is this woman planning to do, throw the sack in a river as if airy were a bundle of unwanted puppies?

airy takes in a hitched breath, desperate and frantic, sounds as if she's on the verge of crying. )


Please, Agnes, I don't understand, really I don't! I would never hurt you or our friends! We've been through so much together, I could never do such a thing! I don't know what I did to hurt you, Agnes, but I'm sorry! Please, can we not talk about this? I will do what I must to make things right!

( her pleading comes out rushed and urgent. she's laying it on a bit too thick for her liking, but she'd like to postpone transforming for as long as she can. )
