Great Crystal ( Crystal Chronicles ) The Great Crystal is a large crystal , and one of the focal points of the plot of the " Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles " series . It is kept glowing by the memories of the people and has the power of altering the fates of every single person in the world . Originally it was part of a whole piece and inside it was the great crystal ' s memory , a sub - universe where anything is possible . Story . " Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles " . The Great Crystal is no longer in one piece ; at some point between the end of " Ring of Fates " and the start of " Crystal Chronicles " , a meteor , containing the Meteor Parasite , fell from the sky and shattered the Great Crystal . The meteor began emitting Miasma , which spread throughout the world . The survivors discovered the shards of the Great Crystal kept the miasma at bay and built settlements around the scattered shards , which were the only thing that could protect them . The effect did not last and myrrh was needed to replenish the protective effect and thus began what became known as the Crystal Cycle . In the Golden Age , the Great Crystal blessed the planet by giving them clean air and purifying the water and repelling most of the malefic , tempting , and consuming power of the crimson moon . The citizens often go pray to the Great Crystal worshiped in the Crystal Temple . Certain pure - hearted individuals can tap in to the energies of the Great Crystal , called Starsinger s . After the fight with the Lich , Yuri , Chelinka , Alhanalem , Gnash , and Meeth are transported from the Shadowland in to the Great Crystal ' s chamber . The crystal cavern is surprisingly large , and the crystal on the surface in the city of Rebena Te Ra is " just the tip of the iceberg " . After Lich ' s final defeat King Kolka reveals to the party the origin of their planet and the repelling forces of the Crystals and the Moon . After the storming of the defiled Crystal Temple , and after Galdes alters reality , the Great Crystal still existed , and Galdes was going to kill Yuri and Chelinka if they defied him , and use the Lunite power to turn the Great Crystal crimson . The Latin phrase " Ibi in Crystallum inscibuntur omnia fata " that appears on the depicting the protagonists of " Ring of Fates " is a straightforward description of the power crystal : it means literally " There in the Crystal all fates are written " . The crystal records the events of the past , present , and future and when one uses the power magic , in the power of the Starsinger or Magicite , they choose a parallel universe , diverging from the world where they normally would have taken physical action . The reality they choose is , usually , hardly different than of the alternate choice , but in the immense magic power that Galdes , Yuri and Chelinka used , this altered reality , although the former used the power of the moon . When Galdes is defeated in his final form , Yuri appears in the Great Crystal ' s memory . With the power both he and his sister have , they can tap into the more powerful source : the Great Crystal itself . With it they can do absolutely anything they can imagine . With this power the twins make an alteration on the entire universe : their parents , Aleria and Latov , alive , Galdes gone , and peace among the entire world . In an interesting turn of events , the twins chose to change the Crystal ' s nature : in every parallel universe the Crystals were an omniversal anchor . No matter the alternate universe , the crystal would stay the same , and those whose blood was infused with it . King Kolka was one of those few individuals , in every universe his wife and daughter would still be dead . But when Yuri and Chelinka altered the crystal and omniverse they decided to revive Princess Tilika in every universe . In " My Life as a King " , a piece of the Great Crystal appears within the center of Padarak . It grants King Leo the power of Architek to rebuild his Kingdom that was destroyed during the time when miasma covered the world . It is later discovered , the former ruler of Padarak , the Dark Lord ' s , heart resides within the crystal after his body had been destroyed once the miasma cleared . When he appears before King Leo , the crystal glows an eerie dark purple . After enough Elementite s is collected to restore his body , the Dark Lord leaves the crystal and over time it glows brighter as the Kingdom grows larger . It is never made clear if it was the crystal speaking to Leo or the Dark Lord trapped within it . Its motives are unclear as it had originally granted the Dark Lord the power of Architek , although this could have been before the miasma had turned the Dark Lord into a monster as it is said that he was once human .
