In short: Two worlds exist, both unaware of the existance of the other. In order for one realm to flourish, the other will have to perish.

As things develop, on the perishing realm, a Chosen one is sent on an adventure to restore that realm's mana by awakening the Spirits and becoming an angel. Colette Brunel, the Chosen of Sylvarant, sets out on her quest accompanied by her best allies Lloyd Irving and Genis Sage. As they travel further they meet more allies and even more enemies, while they learn more and more about the truth behind the World Regeneration.
