In a world where Crystals are the key exists Cocoon, a utopia in the sky. Protected and empowered by the crystals their existence is safe, far above Pulse - a world below that they see as corrupt. Anyone who has contact with Pulse is exiled.

Beyond the world of humanity exist a race called the fal'Cie. At times they mark a human to be l'Cie and they are then chosen to do great things.

Our heroine, a woman codenamed "Lightning", is a former member of Cocoon's army, PSICOM. She becomes chosen to be l'Cie and falls into a path that may lead to the end of Cocoon and the world as it is known.
