The game opens as Cecil is on his airship stealing crystals from innocent people. |
|
|
Then monsters arrive and attack the airship. You can't fight in these battles but it gives you a sense of how the battle system works. |
Cecil questions the king's motives and the king orders Cecil and Cain to go deliver a package and defeat the phantom beasts. |
|
|
Cecil is struggling in his sleep wondering about what the king really wants. Here we learn of Cecil and Cain's past as Cain wants to live up to his father as a dragoon and Cecil became a dark knight. |
As your adventure begins, go into the town and stock up on potions. If you need more gold, fight monsters outside the town. When you're ready head west. There is a chocobo stable which you can use, but isn't necessary. When you get to this cave, head in. |
|
|
Go through the cave collecting the treasure chests; you will hear a voice telling you to back. Continue forward until it asks if you will go on. If you choose yes, you will fight the Mist Dragon. She is very easy if you just whack her to death. Have Cain jump and Cecil attack. Just make sure you don't attack her when she is in her mist form or she will counter-attack. Then just wait it out. |
When you beat the Mist Dragon and exit the cave, you will arrive at the next town full of callers. When you enter the ring you have burns the whole town down. |
|
|
It turns out the Mist Dragon was actually a caller and when you killed her, her daughter attacks you. The young caller is very powerful and can attack with call magic. |
The mountain collapses and you end up on the other side of the mountain. Cain is gone and now you are alone with the young caller girl. Head east over to the oasis town of Kaipo. Right when you enter, Cecil takes the badly injured caller girl to the inn for much needed rest. |
|
|
Your rest ends when soldiers coming for the caller girl attack Cecil because he doesn't give her up. This is an easy fight which, if you attack, will last only 2 rounds. The caller girl thanks Cecil, tells him that her name is Rydia, and then joins the party. |
