Final Fantasy XVI transpires in the world of Valisthea, land of the Mothercrystals. Generations of people took advantage of the crystal’s blessings by the using power of aether to conjure incantations in order for them to live in peace and prosperity. Unfathomable powers emerged around the Mothercrystals, and disconcerting peace has already reigned for far too long. Alas, peace has ceased following the blight that is spreading throughout the land.
