XII Section?[]


		Cloudofdarkness - Back to the original. TALK - time to go jolly on your ass {{{time}}}



		Should I add a section on FFXII, or can I not make an edit about it?


		BlueHighwind ^Q? TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ:



		Already an FFXII section, so you don't need to worry.

in crisis core sephiroth summons four huge materia that float around him that look and are coloured like the four elemental crystals. Myself 123 15:08, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

FF2[]


		Dazuro - Professor to Kitchen: The Joan Rivers Story TALK - {{{time}}}



		Huh.. I never noticed that the Pandora was crystal. Interesting. But.. what about FF2, then? I always found it odd that every single game except 2 and 8 had crystal(s), and now that 8 does... does 2 have some hidden away somewhere as well?


		8bit BlackMage - Beyond the Sky TALK - Why do chemists call helium, curium, and barium 'the medical elements'? Because, if you can't 'helium' or 'curium', you... um... ._.; - {{{time}}}



		Hmm. I'm pretty sure Crystals were not mentioned in FF2, at least in the Advance port I played. Though I remember that the final battle scene with the Emperor in Pandaemonium takes place in a crystal-like surrounding.


		BlueHighwind ^Q? TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ:



		And final location of FFV is pretty crystal-ish. So what?


		Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks TALK - 17:42, 17 October 2008 (UTC)



		Hmm, let's quickly run through II's plot: Long ago the portal to hell opened. The people, scared for their lives, turned to Mysidia. The mages of Mysidia used the spell Ultima to seal up Hell, and then stored the powerful spell away. Modern day, and the Emperor comes along and summons monsters from Hell to cause havoc on the world. The resistance fights against the Emperor killing him. This was part of his plan, and now he's king of Hell. Party goes to Hell and kick's Emperor's ass. In heaven, Minwu and Co kick the Emperor's ass again. Unless the spell Ultima was related to crystals, I can't think of any place where Crystals came up in the plot. The final floor of Panaemonium looked like it was made of crystal though.


		BlueHighwind ^Q? TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ:



		I just figured that was because for about 4 games running (FFII - FFV) the last floors of the Final Dungeon had to have shiny blue tiled floors for some reason. I don't recall FFI, though.


		Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks TALK - 17:46, 17 October 2008 (UTC)



		FF was just in the basement of the Shrine of Chaos. II really is the only main series FF game without a crystal link it seems.


		BlueHighwind ^Q? TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ:



		Wait, I remember now. FFI (the GBA version at least) did not have the square blue shiney tiles of the next few games. Its floors were blue tiles, but not dark enough, not in a grid, and not shiney.

		I have noticed that most templates don't link to this page,a nd that this page doesn't have any template at all, which I find strange. I am aware that adding templates to it isn't a good idea, as it would flood the bottom of the page, which I don't find appealing, and thus I am not suggesting it, but shouldn't some navigation templates link to this page?

FFX[]


		Master Conjurer — (talk) 03:27, 7 January 2009 (UTC)



		I always considered spheres to be X's replacement for crystals, to reflect Spira's theme of cycles. I don't think one little hidden crystal would make as good an equivalent.

Dissidia Crystals[]

Alright, it seems pretty obvious what each crystal represents in Dissidia, since they look like something from that game, but nobody seems to know what Squall's is. I thought it was supposed to look like the Griever pendant, Netherith said Gunblade (which I now believe too) and some annon says a feather. Now, that looks like no feather I've ever seen. Diablocon 18:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

That is most certainly a gunblade. ScatheMote 18:39, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree, but I also think it best represents a Draw Point and Gunblade both- While you can see the blade and the handle, the handle looks forked and separated into two, and the blade is splintered, pronged like if it was going up, like something being drained out of the ground. I just hope that they weren't really just lazy and it's just a gunblade. Eureka!!

That looks absolutely nothing like a Draw Point in any way. Dazuro 05:21, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Splintered boring gunblade? That's pretty damn boring.

It's a shooting star. It would hold the most significance due to the connection it has with Rinoa. It in no way resembles a gunblade, a feather, or wings. delmarlethe

It looks no more like a shooting star than any of those three things. Doreiku Kuroofangu 05:35, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Look at as if it was laying on it's side. Looks like a stylized shooting star. It has to be something significant and reoccurring from VIII. user:delmarlethe 5:00 (NAEST), September 18th, 2011.

And gunblades, feathers and wings aren't? Doreiku Kuroofangu 09:11, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't mean to state that they weren't. What I meant was whatever his crystal is it doesn't resemble wings, feathers, any emblems, or a gunblade because the shape of the crystal is too organic looking. Being that I've play through VIII too many times to count, the only thing that resembles Squall's crystal that has significance other than the items listed is a shooting star. Also that's probably why it's silver. I found it strange that the rest of the group's crystals had the same color as their game logo but Squall's. Or who knows maybe it is a draw point...that's silver. Or the Lunatic Pandora's crystal. I kid. user:delmarlethe 6:00 (NAEST), September 18th, 2011.

I think one of the Dark Crystals was actually shown! MeloettaJones123 (talk) 14:13, March 25, 2014 (UTC)

4 Crystals in FF3?[]

I i recall correctly Final Fantasy III Have 8 Crystals, not four. Dark world have Crystals too. — 82.154.183.210 09:33, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

FF4 Crystals[]

I had a thought. In TAY, it's revealed that the Creator made all the Crystals, right? Well, at first I wondered how the Lunarians had Crystals on their moon then. Then, I remembered that Fusoya says the Lunarians came from the planet between Mars and Jupiter that was destroyed. So maybe, I was thinking the Crystals of the Moon originally came from their first home, and it was destroyed by the Creator forcing them to flee to Earth. No?

Beginning paragraph states..[]

..That ALMOST every game in the main series (Which I take to be 1-13) has crystals in it somewhere, yes? Can't we alter this, for it seems that every single one has crystals in some weird fashion? Fallen-Todesengel 21:05, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and could we add in the XIII paragraph that they use crystal like things to stop themselves from becoming pancakes on the ground when they jump from really high places? Fallen-Todesengel 23:17, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

The above discussion showed that FF2 has really no link to crystals at all. And I think the stuff PSICOM uses is Antimatter Manipulation Principle, not crystals. Close, but no cigar. 23:47, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

FF1[]

Wait, so are there four crystals or eight? The game says that the Warriors already possessed the crystals, but you find each crystal in its own shrine later on. Was that some weird time paradox thing or something? Or are there just two of each crystal? Meanwhile this article only says that the Warriors have four crystals of their own, but the dungeon articles e.g. Flying Fortress all say the crystals reside there, complete with pictorial evidence. What gives? Consistency! :( Dazuro 21:52, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

The Warriors of Light have four crystals to recharge the four elemental crystals found around the world, to prevent its decay. So, technically, eight. Jimcloud

The lead image[]

Anyone else see the glaring problem with this beautiful picture? Its supposed to be the lunar palace after all...Look at the top center of the image to see the problem. 74.128.56.194 07:27, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure that's supposed to be the Lunar Palace, but if you believe that, then yes, it's a glaring error. But I think the bigger error would be the fact that one of the crystals, which can supposedly be held in your hand in the world of FFIV, is about 20 times bigger than any of the people in that image. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 07:33, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

I personally thought this is supposed to be atop the Tower of Babil. But the artwork is so stunning I can't see any problem with it. - Henry acores ^ 19:36, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

That's where I was thinking it was most likely to be too. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 07:28, July 2, 2011 (UTC)
