There, Layle uncovers a creation myth about four governing crystals that together formed the Crystal Principle. The cavalry chases the heroes off a cliff, where they find the entrance to the Subterranean Ruins. The guards soon go after Layle for using arcane magic within Alfitaria, so Layle and Belle flee from the scene using a chocobo-drawn cart outside the capital building. As Keiss goes with Jegran to set up the contract to go after the Yuke for thirty million gil, Layle meets a Lilty girl, and later sees a group of Lilty guards chase Belle, the Selkie taking pictures on the airship, in order to arrest her. Jegran orders Keiss to pick him up in the smaller aircraft he had been piloting and to abandon the airship and it's other passengers, but Layle uses his abilities to power the ship enough to steer through a canyon and crash land in the Queen's Garden of the capital city Alfitaria. After a brief spat between Layle and the Yuke, whom he calls "Goldenrod", the Yuke escapes on a Zu and flies away, unaware that Layle had swiped the Crystal Idol from them during the fight. The Yuke then uses a Crystal Idol to absorb all of the crystal shards aboard the airship.
Layle uses his powers to pull a member of the lost Yuke tribe out of the portal and onto the ship. Layle defeats the monsters using his magic gravitokinetic powers to operate a large machine gun, and lands on the ship's deck, where a young Selkie woman who is taking pictures of the event, and Jegran, the Lilty High Commander who hired Layle, stand among red shattered corpses of the monsters. All is normal until a large flock of Zu mysteriously appears and begins swarming around the airship. Layle, a Clavat Crystal Bearer, and Keiss, his Selkie partner, are contract workers on a job, guarding the cruise airship, Alexis II, on its maiden voyage. Some accessories can also add special attributes to Layle like for example resistance to static, adding a tackle effect to the rolling dash or increasing the amount of time you can hold a captured object or enemy.īattles at the start of the game are easy and can be cleared with standard attacks, but as the game progresses, the player is required to use objects and enemies in the battle field as weapons, experimenting to find good effects while avoiding bad reactions that could benefit the enemy to clear the miasma stream battles on time.Įven though the game focuses on single-player gameplay, it is possible to use a second Wii Remote to help the first player in a co-op style the second player does not control a second character, but instead plays as an extension of Layle's gravity-based kinetic powers. Focus decreases the time it takes to lock onto an enemy, range increases the distance at which he can Lock On to an enemy, and luck increases his chance of finding rare items. Using the items that he finds and buys, he can create accessories that will increase five different attributes: offense, defense, focus, range, and luck. Throughout the game, Layle can collect items and money from monsters and treasure chests. The player can also maximize Layle's total HP by collecting fragments of Myrrh, which can be found by clearing the Miasma Stream campaigns in each area and hunting down scattered treasure chests around the world. There is no leveling-up system in the game instead, the player utilizes new equipment to enhance Layle's abilities, such as being able to interact with objects farther away. As the game progresses, the amount of things that the enemy can do increases as does the number of options Layle has when interacting with them. Nearly everything in the game can be interacted with, including people in towns (who will react to Layle differently depending upon the player's actions). Layle's powers can also work as a grappling hook to launch himself up. The Wii Remote is used to grab objects and move them. Unlike other games in the Crystal Chronicles series, there is a small separation between exploration and battle in the form of random encounters, but even with this small separation, the player is still able to use all of Layle's abilities in and out of combat, allowing him to even attack regular people (usually resulting on the returned aggression of the surrounding population).
Using those abilities, the player is able to use anything and everything in the battlefield as a weapon. Characters make use of their kinetic abilities in battle as the main form of combat. He is able to pick up objects and enemies with his kinetic abilities. Layle can battle both on the ground and in the air. Unlike previous Crystal Chronicles games, which focused on multiplayer RPG dungeon crawler gameplay, The Crystal Bearers is an action-adventure single-player experience with open-world gameplay.
