Introduction

The game opens at Castle Tycoon.  Lenna's father is preparing to ride to the wind shrine on his Hiryuu, when Lenna comes out to talk to him.  King Tycoon explains that something about the wind bothers him and that he must go.  He also tells Lenna not to follow him.   With that, he departs.

On the way there, Galuf and Farris notice that the wind stops.  King Tycoon arrives just in time to have the crystal explode in his face!

And then the intro cuts to Butz, who is with Boco, his chocobo.  He hears an odd sound and looks up, and sees a meteor falling from the sky.  It lands near Castle Tycoon.  He hops on Boco to go check it out, and the game begins.
