— 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. Besides, it seems this has occurred past month already-- Maybe some people 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 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/ Neighborhood woes
The government of Aqures Ixen is very sorry, but it seems there are too many of you Heroes of Light. Hence why there is 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 late at night, and hopefully your neighbor isn't a singer who doesn't know how to sing. On the bright side, you may have someone very cool living with you and an artist 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 capture a Chocobo during Crystalis de Chocobo, maybe you would have liked to be lost and attacked from all sides in the creepy Magitek Research Facility, or maybe you'd like to celebrate the Christmas of Crystallis. Yet again, maybe you would have liked to regain your true power and subsequently be on your path to death, as in The Night of the Thirteen Moogles. Or how about participating in Christmas at Crystallis or fighting in a war for the warriors among you?
13/ Wild Card

11 - Maybe awkward
She stepped from the locker rooms feeling the weight of this world pressing against her shoulders as she walked towards her home. A hand gently ruffled her hair letting the excess water scatter to the ground. She stopped only after walking past the familiar face.
Celes, her moogle, would not stop talking even after she waved a dismissive hand at him.
"Auron?" He was dead or at least that was what she remembered but then this could be an Auron from the other Yuna's world and not her own. She took a quick breath before letting a wide smile spread across her lips. There was no point in making him worry with her.
no subject
Yes, but I might be a bit confused. Braska didn't have twins, did he?
no subject
"I am Yuna, but from a different time than the other Yuna, that is also here." She gestured wildly trying to explain but even as she spoke she realized how strange it sounded.
no subject
So...you're from a different time. *How different? He had to ask.* We still defeated Sin, right?
no subject
"We did. For good this time. There will be no more final summoning." He already knew what waited them so there was no point in hiding what she knew. Her fingers laced behind her back as she rocked on her heels.
no subject
*Now that he had another look at her, she did look older than the other Yuna. Fayth, he was going to need a system to figure them out. Or what to call them.*
It's...kind of different. Being alive again, I mean.
no subject
As if readying his thoughts she continued. "You can call me Yunie by the way. It is still a little confusing with Rikku but it helps since there are two of us right now.." Her fingers lightly brush her lips. "Will you tell her? Her fate now that she is here? Her pilgrimage isn't complete." Yuna looked down sadly the knowledge that has been weighing on her showing.
no subject
*Auron gave her a little bit of a look.* You mean I have to refer to you the same way that Rikku does? *Because let's face it, Auron and Rikku got along like water and electricity.* If that's what you want though, I'll manage.
You mean she's here from the middle of a pilgrimage? But she never left? *How did that work exactly...no, no, he wasn't going to try to untangle that. It'd just give him a headache.* I'm not sure. That's a good question.
no subject
She placed a hand on her waist and then flailed her free hand in the air. "Unless you have another idea?" He always had ideas didn't he? She smiled thinking of their journey together.
There was so much she wanted to say to him and so much she wanted to try to explain. "It's sort of complicated just how you are alive now. She is here but the flow of time isn't linear."
no subject
I'm beginning to see how complicated it is. For now I'll accept "and then a miracle happened" to cover all situations. *He chuckled.*
So how long have you been here?
no subject
"Are you at least happy? To be alive again?" To see me and know that I didn't have to be killed for Sin to be defeated? She wanted to ask but then what purpose would such a question hold?
no subject
Ask me in a few more weeks when I've gotten used to breathing and I'll probably say yes to being happy. *Because honestly, he'd been under the heaviest of weights that it colored all pleasure in being Unsent.*
no subject
Yuna light scratched her cheek with a sheepish grin. "Well, if you need anything let me know. This place is a little like Spira though. It might surprise you."
no subject
no subject
"Blitzball. Fiends though I don't know where they come from because it isn't like Spira in that sense. I did see pyrflies but they don't have a place like the Farplane here so I'm not sure what that means. They have a beach town on as island. I haven't been yet. They also have temples but I've stayed away from them as well."
no subject
Was the blitzball your doing or was it always here?
no subject
"No, it was already here. I joined a team to get money. The city gives us housing but I didn't want to be a burden."
no subject
Did you go through training or do they do something to help people hold their breaths?
no subject
Yuna laughed softly before continuing. "After the eternal calm started I join the Blitzball team. Wakka and Lulu were about to have a baby and it seemed like a fun thing to do." Her smile widened slightly.
"I can hold my breath for seven minutes."
