,, There are a lot of sad moments in this world. Feelings that cannot be achieved. Broken promises and all kinds of pain. The magical element “mana”, which pervades the whole world, often occurs as a crystalline form called blastia, which is used by people as a source of energy for their daily life and brings them protection and prosperity. The people of Ivalice make use of the substance with which they can do certain jobs and erect barriers to protect against the monsters around their cities. There is no life without mana. But our world is dying. It will collapse - exploited and shaken by wars. High priests and priestesses do their best to transform the magic source "Mysth" - the exact counterpart of mana - into an equally useful source of energy. But Mysth is avoided. This type of energy is feared as it can take over the body and make the person hungry for power. In addition, Mysth can only be transformed in high concentration. This high concentration can only be found in the depths of the Nabradia forests. The priests and priestesses who go on the journey to Mysth are henceforth called Media. However, few of them return empty-handed. I know that this world is shaken again and again - but, I love this world ”.
