The timezone in this game is far into the future of the Crystal Chronicles franchise, taking place in the same world as Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, populated by four races.[5] However, due to a war with the Lilty race, the Yuke race has supposedly died out, though that clearly isn't the full story. The setting has been recently described as a time when "swords have changed to guns" and the arcane arts are outlawed by the Liltian Kingdom. However, magic is given to a selected few, who are known to others as the Crystal Bearers. In March 2008, an official advertising article about Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates noted that the Nintendo DS installment "sets the stage" for The Crystal Bearers.[6] Characters * Layle (レイル, Reiru?): A Clavat and the protagonist of the story. He is already an established hero by the game's beginning. One of the eponymous Crystal Bearers, his crystal, which is located on his right cheek, gives him control of a strange gravity-based power. * Belle (ベル, Beru?): A dark brown-haired female Selkie who is always with a camera (which is probably stolen). Though claiming herself to be a photographer, she finds and exchanges information for her own benefit. She stows away on the Alexis's maiden voyage and encounters sensitive information that lands a bounty on her head from the Lilties. However, she remains defiant and continues to pursue her next big story. * Keiss (クァイス, Kwaisu?): A red-haired male Selkie wearing a bandana. He is Layle's partner. Unlike other Selkies, Keiss devotes himself to the Lilty kingdom, working directly under High Commander Jegran. He is tasked with escorting the passenger airship cruiser Alexis. * Amidatelion (アミダテリオン, Amidaterion?): A lavishly decorated Yuke who, as well as being another Crystal Bearer and last of its race, appears to be the game's primary antagonist. It appears to also possess the ability to bend space, giving it the ability to warp objects to some degree, an ability not yet demonstrated by Layle. * Althea (アルテア, Arutea?): A Lilty with spectacles who is the princess of the Liltian Kingdom. Her mother died while she was still young, and her father currently lies sick, causing there to be a power vacuum. * Jegran (ジュグラン, Juguran?): The megalomanical captain of the Liltian guard. [7] * Cid (シド, Shido?): Former engineer of the Liltian Kingdom who has a certain interest in Crystal Bearers. * Vygari (バイガリ, Bigari?): A member of the Selkie Guild. 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, with the Yukes suffering apparent annihilation, had at last brought the victorious Lilties dominion over the world as they bring it into a new age of science and reason with the use of magic outlawed and rule over the Clavats and few Selkies who comply to the new order. 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...[8]
