According to Lukahn's prophecy, four warriors of light will come in the planet's darkest hour each bearing a crystal. Of course, this prophecy comes true and you play the four said warriors.

Now, once the King of Cornelia sees you and asks you to present the crystals to him mentioned in the prophecy as proof of your identity, each character produces a different coloured crystal and he is amazed. So... this would lead you to believe that you own these crystals, right? So then why when you open up the pause menu does it show 4 dull gray crystals and not the colourful ones you produced to the King?

With regards to each Fiend, I suppose my real question is do you have to restore power to the crystals, or do you have to literally obtain each crystal by beating them?
 
It would seem that you're restoring power to the crystals, rather than obtaining new ones.

I would also venture to guess that either the different colored crystals in the scene that you described are just a plot device, or that the crystals in the menu are grayed out to help you keep track of what you've accomplished. As if you could deviate off the linear path in One anyway... =\
 
Those are my thoughts exactly, I just couldn't be sure about it.

It's a major part of the plot, I don't see why they couldn't have made it clearer and more understandably presented...
 
I think they each carry a crystal on them, and power them up. If I remember right, in the PS1 CGI they added at the begining, the Warrior of Light is shown with a crystal attatched to a chain round his neck. Could be wrong, but I'm sure he has. So yeah it's probably that they each have a crystal, and are wandering the world to power them up to fulfill the prophecy.
 
you people are exactly correct.
the crystals have lost their power and must be restored.
And i just got the one for PSP and it shows a CGI intro with warrior and a blue crystal around his neck.
If thats the cgi you were talking about Argor251

Yes it will be, the PSP has all the extras that came with the PS version including the CGI's.

I see it as each warrior possess a small crystal that then restores the power flow of the bigger crystal you have to find. The crystals in the menu are indeed there to help you keep track, this is explained in the manual I think somewhere....
Unexplained plot devices, common of early FF's ><
 
Ducaduca, cease posting NOW. This is NOT a chatroom, double posting is prohibited. As is account sharing, which I suspect you were doing, seeing as you were having a conversation with yourself.
 
*thats a very good query my friend, well that scene with the king must have been a glitch or a compromise for the makers cause the graphics were not that advanced at the time ;)

*about the crystals i think they have to regain the power of the orbs cause at the start of the game you have empty orbs :) thats what i think about it :) guess youll have to ask the maker to confirm what this confusion is all about :D
 
YES U R CORRECT

THIS IS BECOUSE YOU SEE THE KING WHO ASKS YOUR PROOF OF ID KINDA AND THE CRYSTALS HAVE COLOURS THEN WEN WEN YOU DEFEAT GARLAND YOU LOOS THE CRYSTALS POWERS THEN HAVE TO REGAIN THEM AGAIN IN ORDER TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME AND DEFEAT GARLAND FOR GOOD 1 GLITCH THAT I NOTICED THOUGH WAS THAT THE PROTECTERS OF THE CRYSTALS ARE STRONGER IN THE PAST THAN WHEN THEY ARE ACTUALY PROTECTING THE CRYSTALS!!!

Ummm.... What?



Anyways, the crystals on the menu are represntations of the restored large Crystals, the 4 the heroes have contain the last rays of light the crystals have left, the heroes take the shards to the large crystals to restore power to the larger ones
 
*ummm i think he agrees with my theory :D hehe

*well thats the way the story goes err... the glitch goes, i guess :D

*the warriors of light from the past??? what happened to them? they didnt seem to return back to normal :D and how can they protect the crystal being puny bats?? :d lots of wierdness goin on :D
