Now, the madman is looking to return and conquer both worlds. In the past, he came scarily close to destroying his homeworld, only to be stopped and sealed away by a team of warriors. The heroes discover that the destruction of the crystals is part of a dark warlock's plan to escape his imprisonment. Krile Mayer Baldesion, a Nature Hero who resides on another planet.Faris Scherwiz, a seemingly-pretty-boy pirate who joins for personal reasons.Galuf Doe, an amnesiac old man who awakens at the crash-site with a Gut Feeling saying he need to find the crystals.Lenna Charlotte Tycoon, a Princess who is alarmed by the disappearance of her father, which coincides with a meteor crashing just outside their kingdom.Bartz Klauser, a wanderer most often accompanied by his trusty chocobo, Boko.They each gain powers from the spirits of ancient heroes contained within the crystals, hence the job-changing mechanic.
