When you finish the story mode (of Dissidia), you realize that the game's plot pretty much revolved around gathering crystals from each character's respective storyline. I have a question,

Does every Final Fantasy storyline revolves around Crystals to some extent?

I know Final Fantasy I-IV revolved around Crystals, V and VI I can't confirm (but am pretty sure), but I do know that VII had Materia. When I see Squall's Storyline, though, it appears VIII's Crystal is actually some weird kind of Gunblade (I'm sorry, I have never played VIII). Then there's Final Fantasy X; I never actually played through Final Fantasy X completely, but did it even have Crystals?

I'm sorry, I'm not much of a Final Fantasy fan, but I think it's safe to say that along with Final Fantasy's other common themes (Cid, Chocobos, Moogles, etc.), Crystals are one of them.

I know what you mean they do focus on crystals a lot.
VIII (Not VII :P) didn't really involve crystals to my knowledge, V centers around crystals yeah, they're what give you your job classes. As for VI? I'm not sure but I'd hazard a guess that they are involved somehow. Final Fantasy X also did not have any crystals to my recollection, XII had crysals as save points which was a nice feature. Crystals did make a comeback in XII actually as they are one of the main focuses of the story although they are used in a different context.
Also I think that they are going back to the 'Crystal Theme' for the Final Fantasy XIII collection.

I'll comment on the storyline of FFXII which did involve Crystals.

The SUn Cryst was a key focal point late in the game and throughout the backstory of Princess Ashe and King Raithwall early on in the game. Without giving too much detail out, let's just say they were involved in FFXII as more than just save crystals.

While you do hint at Dissidia being the game mainly being mentioned here, this topic may get moved to General Final Fantasy here shortly depending on the way this topic shifts.
 
Yeah I realised that I had made that mistake lol.
It is what the edit button is all about xD
I think that the Final Fantasy XIII collection is something like 'Fabula Nova Crystallis' or something. Juding by that i must have something to do with crytsals.
 
Sigh, my bad, I fixed the "typo" now. xP

Well I know FFXIII is going to have some sort of Crystal Mythology background? I'm trying to convince my friend that all Final Fantasys' have Crystals as a recurring theme in them, but he doesn't seem to believe me... ):

EDIT: Oh, and I don't mind this topic being moved to the General part. It'd probably be better, actually.

Majority of FF's do have a crystal theme, just some more blatenlt than others. I, III, IV, and V had you collecting/restoring crystals and they were the simple 4 elemental crystals. VI and VII had Magicite and Materia respectivly. IX had the jewel pieces, X and X-2 has spheres and finally XIII had the Sun Cryst, Magicite and Nethicite. As far as I know II and VIII didn't feature anything that could be linked to the crystal theme.
