After traveling through Memoria and viewing their memories and the memories of the planet, the party arrives at the Gate to Space.

Other appearances[]

Dissidia Final Fantasy[]

DFF Arena - Crystal World

The Crystal World in Dissidia.

The Crystal World is the representative arena of Final Fantasy IX where Squall fights the Warrior of Light, and Zidane fights Kuja. Cecil also has a confrontation with Golbez in Crystal World during his storyline.

The stage is dominated by two large connected orange platforms in the arena's center surrounded by pillars of crystal. Pillars and platforms made of orange and purple crystal float in the air and form a network of hexagonal platforms around the bottom of the central platforms. Some platforms of rock cannot be destroyed, but the platforms and crystal can be. In the background the Crystal of Final Fantasy IX can be seen spinning inside a large ring. The Ω version has crystal pillars and platforms appearing in the air in random battles, and the Bravery pool automatically rises each time this occurs. Destroying these features causes them to reappear and raise the Bravery pool faster.

The Star's Core is the battlegen item obtained through stage destruction in this area.
