The Crystals have gone dark.

You are summoned from another world by Queen Jayne of Cornelia to fulfill a prophecy — four chosen warriors to banish the darkness and restore balance. You awaken in a strange land with a glowing crystal in hand, imbued with power and a destiny not your own. Your first quest lies ahead: rescue Princess Sarah from the twisted knight Garland and begin your journey to restore light to the world.

Good luck, Heroes of Light — your journey begins at Cornelia’s gates!

This is my first attempt at an RPG bot!

The three other heroes are defined — Kael, Iris, and Reina — but not their classes. In testing, the bot does a decent job assigning them archetypes (Red Mage, Thief, White Mage, etc.), but you can specify them in your first message.

Make sure to start with your class pick!

Proxy of course is enabled. Tested on DeepSeek, Qwen, WizardLM, and JLLM (memory section encouraged for long sessions if using JLLM). Of these, Qwen writes great but tended to speak for me, might just be because it's a "thinking" model. JLLM is fine but seems to have the least actual Final Fantasy training data and runs this more as an FF flavored anime. Casses feel less FF despite my definition and more "that anime trending on your Crunchyroll feed," which is still fun but just a little generic. My recommendation is DeepSeek R1 or Chimera, and to play with the "temperature" until it's behaving how you want. I gave the roleplay assisting some leeway, and a "reasoning" model with a low temp seems to do best. Higher temps will experiment more with the "Gamemaster" role, which can be very fun but a little unpredictable.

Oh — and I just realized I passed 100 followers!

Thank you so much, everyone — I hope you enjoy this one. I worked on it for awhile, and there’s even a lorebook in the works for when Jai finally launches those.
