After the earth tears open, the world of Luxendarc is plunged into darkness. The four elemental crystals that bring light into the world - fire, water, wind and earth - are swallowed up by an overwhelming force that disrupts the balance of nature. Volcanoes that have not been active for a long time suddenly erupt and oceans become cloudy and dangerous. Agnès Oblige, vestal of the Wind Crystal, is spared when the servants of her temple sacrifice their lives to protect her from the terror that assails the Wind Crystal. With a crystal fairy named Airy as her guide, Agnès undertakes a journey to awaken the crystals and return the light to Luxendarc. In the midst of this disaster, the village of Norende is completely swallowed up by the great rift, with Tiz Arrior the only survivor. Determined to rebuild his home and undo the dark evil that has come to Luxendarc, he joins Agnès on her mission.
