==Plot Elements==
===Flying Fairy===
*Luxendarc is kept in balance by four elemental crystals which are protected and venerated by the global religion known as the Crystal Orthodoxy.
*One day, the crystals are consumed by darkness and the world is thrown into chaos with numerous calamities.
*Agnès Oblige, Vestal of the Wind Crystal, escapes while the rest of the temple's worshipers perish to protect her. At the same time, a great chasm opens up beneath the village of Norende, killing all of its inhabitants except a young shepherd named Tiz Arrior. When he returns to the chasm hoping to find other survivors, he meets Agnès and her fairy companion Airy. The three are then attacked by forces from the hostile Duchy of Eternia, who seek to prevent Agnès from awakening the crystals.
*After defeating the soldiers, Tiz decides to travel with Agnès as her protector. They return to Caldisla, where they are also joined by Ringabel, an amnesiac vagabond who holds a book predicting future events, and Edea Lee, an Eternian soldier who becomes disillusioned and defects after her commanding officer commits war crimes.
*The party travels to the three of the four temples and awaken each of the crystals from darkness, being confronted by the forces of Eternia as they proceed. During their journey, the group is aided by the ancient Sage Yulyana and observed by the immortal Lord DeRosso. The party eventually reaches Eternia, the home of the Earth Crystal, and are forced to defeat the Duchy's leader, Edea's father Braev Lee in battle. A column of light then appears in the Great Chasm once the Earth Crystal is awakened. Airy instructs the others to take her to the Pillar of Light.
*After the group fend off Edea's close friend Dark Knight Alternis Dim, whose face is identical to Ringabel's, Airy's ritual instead sends them into a parallel world.
*The process is repeated multiple times; in each of the five worlds the group travel through, they find and awaken the corrupted crystals, Airy performs her ritual in the pillar of light, and they are thrown into a new parallel world.
*In each world, they find variations on the situations they encountered in their own world, and gradually learn several truths about themselves and their adversaries.
* Nearly all of the Eternian elite they face were taken in by Braev out of compassion as they were rejected by the Orthodoxy, and Yulyana and DeRosso are revealed to be Braev's allies and key figures in cleansing the Orthodoxy of its corruption. During the group's travels, both Yulyana and DeRosso give subtle warnings to Tiz and Agnès about Airy's intentions.
*Ringabel, revealed to be a version of Alternis Dim who got dragged into the group's Luxendarc, slowly regains his memories of pursuing the party of his world before witnessing them being killed by Airy after she turned into a monster. In truth, Airy has been manipulating the party and uses the crystals to link the worlds to enable her master, the demon Ouroboros, to reach and conquer the Celestial Realm.
* Airy reveals herself and is defeated by the party.
*The group goes to Yulyana and DeRosso, who reveal a message left by an "angel", a version of Agnès from another world who was betrayed by Airy; the two have been planning for Ouroboros' arrival, and the group resolves to stop the demon. They travel to the Dark Aurora and defeat Airy, who is then devoured by Ouroboros.
*After revealing that Tiz is being kept alive by a being from the Celestial Realm, Ouroboros attacks, and DeRosso sacrifices himself to restrain the demon's regeneration.
*The party are temporarily stopped when Ouroboros begins consuming worlds to regain strength, but alternate versions of them break the links formed by Ouroboros, giving the party a chance to destroy him. Before the path between worlds closes, they return to their own world.
*Agnès and Edea return to their respective groups to better relations between the reformed Orthodoxy and the Duchy; Ringabel returns to his own world and reclaims his identity as Alternis Dim; Tiz is rendered comatose after going to Caldisla's graveyard and releasing the Celestial Being within him.
*Tiz wakes in a life support tank in Eternia before being rescued from captivity by the mysterious Magnolia Arch.
===End Layer===
* Agnès Oblige has been elected the Pope of the Crystal Orthodoxy. She and Grand Marshal Braev Lee of the Duchy of Eternia seek to end hostilities between their groups with a formal peace treaty in the city of Gathelatio.
*The ceremony is interrupted by Kaiser Oblivion, leader of the Glanz Empire, and his cryst-fairy companion Anne, who abduct Agnès and imprison her in their floating fortress, the Skyhold.
*Yew Geneolgia, leader of Agnès' Crystalguard protectors, awakens a week after the attack and sets out to rescue her with fellow Crystalguard leaders Janne Engarde and Nikolai Nikolanikov. However, Janne and Nikolai are revealed to be moles for the Empire.
*Later guided by Agnès through a crystal shard she dropped when she was kidnapped, Yew assembles three companions: Eternian Ducal Guard captain Edea Lee, the daughter of Braev who aided Agnès in their first adventure, Magnolia Arch, a young Ba'al Buster from the moon who is the sole survivor of an attack on her village and possesses an hourglass capable of localized time manipulation, and Tiz Arrior, a former comrade of Agnès and Edea who has been comatose for the past two and a half years. The group is unable to prevent the Kaiser from escaping in the Skyhold.
*With the guidance of both Agnès and a mysterious "man with a purple pen", the party pursues the Skyhold across the world. During their travels, the Kaiser obtains a compass of space and time.
*The party also learns about the Sword of the Brave, a cursed sword that took Yew's older half-brother Denys' right arm after he tried to claim it; he was disinherited and vanished soon after.
*At the Fire Temple in Eisenberg, following their encounter with the mysterious Kyubi, the group find the Fire Crystal has been overcharged and realize that the Kaiser is summoning the Holy Pillar.
*The group hurries to Florem to intercept the Empire at the Water Crystal, where the man with the purple pen reveals himself to be a Celestial Being named Altair who has possessed Tiz since his near-death at the Great Chasm two years prior.
*Meanwhile, the Kaiser forces Agnès to dispel the shield around the Water Crystal and overcharge it to summon the Holy Pillar.
*The party attacks the Skyhold and kills Janne and Nikolai, both revealed to oppose the Orthodoxy due to its past corruption. Their deaths buy time for the Kaiser to use the compass to travel back in time with Agnès, but Anne has already sabotaged the compass to send the two to the distant future as she uses the Holy Pillar's power to destroy the Moon.
* The party defeats Anne in battle, but the destruction of the Moon ceases the flow of time and places the world in a state that would eventually end in inevitable destruction.
*The party uses Magnolia's hourglass to go back in time to the peace ceremony and stop the Kaiser from abducting Agnès, learning his true identity is Yew's missing brother Denys.
*Denys escapes with the aid of Janne and Nikolai, but the party utilizes their memories of the previous timeline to stop Denys' plans while convincing his subordinates not to throw their lives away.
*Yew eventually corners Denys in the Geneolgia crypts, learning his brother's intent to use the compass to travel back in time to kill their family's founder to negate the corrupt misdeeds caused by their bloodline.
*Yew defeats Denys, and Agnès and Braev convince him to own up to his mistakes and create a world of peace in the present. However, Anne forces a Vestling to manifest the Holy Pillar to destroy the moon once again before Denys destroys her brooch.
* Anne responds by awakening Diamante, the Ba'al that ravaged Magnolia's home and concealed itself as the Skyhold, to destroy the group.
*Denys sacrifices himself by using the compass to send himself and Diamante to the end of time.
*The party awakens in Caldisla, which Kyubi had displaced prior, and confront Anne when she attempts to use Norende's Great Chasm to summon Ba'als directly to Luxendarc. She reveals she is the older sister of Tiz and Edea's old enemy Airy; she manipulated them into defeating Airy as the intrusion of her "god" Ouroboros would pose a threat to her master Providence, the so-called "god" of the Celestial Realm.
*Anne explains that Providence created the Ba'als using the memories of Altair's lover Vega.
*After killing Anne, the group enters the Celestial Realm and frees Vega from Providence's control. After Altair and Vega depart in peace, the group is attacked by Providence, who breaks the fourth wall and attempts to delete the player's save file. The party stops Providence and destroys him.
*When the group returns to Luxendarc, Tiz is revealed to be dying again now that Altair's soul has left him.
*A mysterious Adventurer, who has provided aid to Tiz since Norende's destruction, appears and takes Magnolia's hourglass back in time to give to Tiz at the start of his original adventure.
*The Adventurer, revealing herself to be a colleague of Altair's named Deneb, returns and informs the group that the hourglass, now with two and a half years' worth of hopes and dreams, will be able to renew his life. Agnès, possessing the hourglass, delivers it to the party and revives Tiz.
*Agnès retires from her duties as the pope and settles down in Norende with Tiz while Edea sets out as the new Grand Marshall to secure the peace between Eternia and the Orthodoxy. Magnolia decides to remain on Luxendarc with Yew, and the two confess their love for each other. In a post-credits scene, having interacted with the party under the guise of their world's Alternis Dim in their dealings with Kyubi and the Empire, Tiz and Edea's old companion Ringabel is revealed to have become an agent of an interdimensional police force called the Planeswardens. He gives the Planeswardens confirmation that the Sword of the Brave exists.
===Volume 3===
*The story is set on a continent named Excillant.
*The story follows four main characters; a young sailor named Seth, a refugee princess named Gloria, a traveling scholar named Elvis, and a mercenary named Adelle.
*The four main characters set off across the continent to retrieve the crystals of the four elements: Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire. These crystals were stolen from Gloria's destroyed homeland of Musa.
*During their travels, the four learn that they are all this age's Heroes of Light.
*Periodically throughout the world's history, an ancient evil called the Night's Nexus must be sealed away, and the crystals pick four warriors to do so. Seth is chosen by the Wind Crystal, Gloria by the Water Crystal, Elvis by the Earth Crystal, and Adelle by the Fire Crystal.
*Meanwhile, during their travels to collect the crystals, Elvis is trying to decipher an ancient book which cannot be read under normal circumstances, but occasionally reveals secrets of the past when it comes into contact with an Asterisk, which are powerful magical gems.
*As the adventure continues, Adelle reveals that she is actually a fairy, and that her sister Edna is trying to summon the Night's Nexus to destroy all humans, as Edna hates humans.
*The four main characters, after having collected all the four crystals, battle and defeat Edna, but are unable to defeat the Night's Nexus. Gloria sacrifices her life to seal the Night's Nexus away, continuing the cycle of previous Heroes of Light.
*Gloria's sacrifice is then shown to be merely a vision of the future, which the group witnesses within the mysterious book.
*While Gloria is fine sacrificing herself to save the world, Seth vows to find another way to destroy the Night's Nexus.
*After scouring the world for every Asterisk, the four learn that the book was created by the Night's Nexus, and that the Night's Nexus was in fact an ancient human woman who wished to consume all information in the world. As long as the book remains intact, the Night's Nexus can never be permanently destroyed.
*The four sail out into a world beyond the ocean, to an island where the book can finally be destroyed, and do battle with the Night's Nexus there. Eventually, the four are victorious, and the Night's Nexus is destroyed eternally.
*Using the power of the crystals, the four escape the collapsing island, and eventually make their way back home to safety.
