The first FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles game for the {{DS}}. Unlike the first game, its main mode of play is a story-mode with lots of dialog and pre-made characters. The story follows a pair of Clavat twins named Yuri and Chelinka, whose hometown is attacked and Chelinka falls into a coma. When she awakens, she has lost the ability to speak. Together, they set out on a journey to help Chelinka regain her voice, find their childhood teachers Alhanalem and Meeth, discover why their home was attacked, and learn the purpose of a unique crystal they own. All while trying to stop an ancient prophecy from destroying the world.

* DungeonBypass: Only scripted obstacles and doors with keys, of which are few, are unpassable.Most of the room puzzle's purpose is to materialize or move platforms to reach points that are just out of reach.Not only can your chatacters jump on each other, but you can stack any item to make a ladder.And most of the items you find are cheap rubbish you can buy for less than 5 gil at the shops.Do the math.
** Selkies take this trope UpToEleven:while they cannot double-jump or use ziplines when holding a key, they can just throw the key against a wall, make it bounce on their head, and ''run on the zipline as if it was a tightrope while balancing the key on their head''.Someone sign them up for circus already.
