Story
Quest : Hope and Alysia - Crystal Makers
Place : yaschas massif DLC
Noel - It is believed Etro and Chaos have been released back into the world. Awakened from their long sleep many people continue to try and keep the timelines together. They also try to keep themselves from entering Chaos. From this battle that once was and is now again many people have found themselves under chaos. However few of us have survived.
Find Hope and Alysia
Hope : Well hello there. All is well I hope.
Noel : All things considered.
Hope : Me and Alysia have discovered an old relic used to clone people.
Serah : Like the one they used on Amador for Captain Cryptic?
Hope : Yes. We were thinking that we traveled to the future, now the only thing we need is to travel back in time. To be safe maybe it's best to use a clone of ourselves. Deep in this area is a monster capable of shifting forms. If we could obtain it's crystal we could easily turn it into ourselves.
Noel : So we capture this monster and you make a clone of yourself?
Hope : Yes if the clone is capable of traveling back in time I'm sure it will give me enough data to find out how we can as well.
Serah : Well we'll do it Hope. You've been such a great help all this time.
Noel : Yeah leave it to me, hunting is what I'm best at.
Hope : Good I entrust you on this quest.

Hope : You've found the crystal. Great now I can complete the machines process.
Noel : Lets just hope this works.
[When you come back]
Alysia : Was it a success! Did you make a clone of yourself?
Hope : No I'm afraid it won't act as anything other than a monster. It seems to make a clone of myself I didn't need the crystal anyways.
Noel : Well so much for the instruction manual.
Serah : Noel...
Hope : He is right. In order to clone myself I would only be able to function on a program. Mainly saying certain things when activated. Traveling back in time is still in the works.
Noel : Well until you do I guess you'll just have to bear with the present.
Hope : Indeed. You can use my data. This clone will perform a lot like me in battles. I'm sure he will be of some use to you.
Received Monster Crystal : Hope
Noel : Thanks we can use all the help we can get.
RETURN :
Hope : Traveling back in time is possible. However the process is possibly outside of my capability.

Alysia : Serah, Noel! Please help me. I've found a machine to make a clone of myself.
Serah : Are you sure that is safe?
Alysia : Yes of course. However I need a few ingredients to make it perfect.
Serah : Ok well tell us what you need.
Alysia : All around this region is stones that are used to complete a crystal. If I can program this machine to make a copy I can come with you on your journey.
Serah : Sounds like you got it all worked out.
Alysia : For the most part I do. There are 10 stones in all. Find them and bring them back. If you do I will be able to reward you with a crystal.
Noel : You leave it to us. If these stones are here, we'll find them.
Alysia : Thanks!
(when returned) Alysia : You gotta find all ten crystals for me to complete my task. Come back when you do.
[Find the Crystals]
Alysia : You've found all ten of them. This is great now all I have to do is operate the machine.
Noel : We better get back Serah.
