Plot
Firebrand is on a quest to collect all of the elemental crests, magical stones which preside over their respective elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Time and Heaven). It is said that when all crests are combined, the Crest of Infinity will appear, allowing its holder infinite power, and the ability to conquer all realms with it. During his quest, he is crippled in a battle with the Demon Dragon in his efforts to claim the Crest of Heaven, and his nemesis Phalanx uses Firebrand's moment of weakness to attack him and steal all of his crests for himself, with the exception of the Crest of Fire which was broken into pieces in the fight and Firebrand was left with only one shard.
Having fallen back to earth in the coliseum where he fought the Dragon earlier, Firebrand is forced to destroy the incarnate undead dragon for good to survive, then go after Phalanx and reclaim the Crests. The game states that Phalanx stopped Firebrand from completing his conquest to rule over the Demon Realm, and Firebrand seemingly wants to reclaim the crests to continue this attempt to reach power, or just for revenge on Phalanx. However, during the True Ending, which the player attains upon defeating the "Dark Demon", it is stated that "realizing that his true power is not derived from the crests, Firebrand disposed of all the crests".

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
