Along with the other crystals, it seals Exdeath on their planet. Thirty years after Exdeath is sealed, the Ronka Ruins arise again, and the Warriors of Light come aboard it. Inside, they find King Tycoon, who is possessed by Exdeath and successfully destroys the crystal. Immediately, Exdeath breaks free from his seal, and only with Krile's surprising intervention, the Warriors of Light leave the ruins alive.

In the epilogue, the Earth Crystal reforms inside the Pyramid of Moore.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Template:Sideicon
The Crystal of Earth is located in the Bone Dungeon near Foresta and is the first crystal visited by Benjamin. It is corrupted by the Flamerus Rex, which causes the dense forests to wither and decay. When restored by Benjamin and Tristam, the forests of Foresta are revived.
Bravely Default
Template:Sideicon The Earth Crystal is located in the Eternia Region, inside the Everlast Tower, which was formerly the Temple of Earth. The Earth Crystal influences the land, soil, and rock of Luxendarc. If destroyed, it can regenerate over thousands of years, so long as its core, which is separate from the main crystal, remains safe. Some time in the past, it was tended to by an unnamed earth vestal, who died at the hands of the Duchy.
The Earth Crystal's power can be extracted and used to heal illnesses. However, the Crystal Orthodoxy had a long standing prohibition against this, feeling it to be desecration, even as Eternia suffered from a plague. Some years later, Braev Lee would gather an army, with the goal of usurping the Orthodoxy. In a last attempt, the Orthodoxy would invoke the Great Ritual. This put the Earth Crystal in danger, and radically transformed the terrain of Eternia.
The Earth Crystal was rendered unstable, leading Braev to use white magic cables to sap the excess energy coming from it. These cables helped stabilize the Crystal and also amplified white magic, allowing for substantial progress in medicine. After the opening of the Great Chasm over Norende, the Earth Crystal would fall into darkness.
Agnès Oblige, the vestal of wind, would travel to the Earth Crystal and performed the rite of awakening to purify it. While this purged the darkness, it also rendered the white magic cables powerless. Agnès eventually learned that this ritual was actually part of a process to link multiple parallel versions of Luxendarc. Template:Sec-stub
