Lostime is governed by Mayor Gale , who wishes for everyone to live happily and has done everything he can to ensure life could go on without conflicts in the town . However , there are individuals who oppose such a belief , such as Shirma and her aunt Stella , who live faraway at the outskirts of Lostime .

Alexander is the guardian of the Bell of Oblivion as well as the Light Crystal . Story . Fifty years ago , the land of Memoria lived in harmony under the safety of its four crystals and their Guardians . This peace shattered one night when the Guardian of the Dark went berserk and attacked the town . With the city in flames , the townspeople have no choice but to call on the remaining Guardians . The three oracles , Freja , Meja , and Shirma complied and prayed to the crystals . In return , the Guardians sealed the Destroyer away and created the Bell of Oblivion to ease the minds of the people . In the end , all of Memoria was sealed off from the world . Years later , treasure hunters Cid and Chocobo were transported to Lostime through Timeless Power . On the same night as their arrival , a mysterious egg falls from the sky , hatching into a baby boy named Raffaello . Slowly , they would restore the memories of the people , unaware of making them remember the incident . While under the influence of the curse , the oracles forget who they are , causing problems in town connected to their element . When Freja forgot she was the Oracle of Fire , the town ' s energy supply , fire , had gone out . The town ' s groundwater became impotable as a result of the amnesia that Meja , the Oracle of Water , suffered from . Day suddenly became endless night as a result of Shirma forgetting her identity as the Oracle of Light . After the Destroyer is defeated , the barrier keeping Lostime from the world is dissolved . To commemorate the new beginning , the town has been renamed Foundtime . Music . Lostime has two main themes , each for day and night .
