Once I had a vision: When I finished my set of 15 stained glass Final Fantasy heroes then I'll put all of them together in one great picture ...

And I did it. And it wasn't enough for me I wanted to turn into a whole complex stained glass ornament. And I guess I exaggerated a bit.

Special thanks to 7marichan7 who started making some of her first drawings of FF-heroes with flowers.
And thus I decided to keep going and kinda created/finished my own series of heroes of the crystal and flowers. 
On (almost) each panel of the character there's one sort of flowers displayed which represents their personality or special traits:

 I - Phlox (harmony)
 II - Wild Rose (symbol of the Rebel Army which represents their hope for a future that flourishes with strength and beauty)
 III - Borage (courage)
 IV - White and blue violet (modesty and faithfulness)
 V - Delphinium (levity, fun, big-hearted, joy)
 VI - Clematis (mental beauty)
 VII - White heather (protection)
 VIII - Red Amaryllis (pride)
 IX - Mint (virtue)
 X - Sunflower (Pure and lofty thoughts, longlivety, loyality)
 XI - Witch Hazel (A magic spell)
 XII - Galbana Lily (a flower for a fallen brother who loved these desert flowers. Symbol of remembrance and for freedom)
 XIII - Pink Rose (grace)
 XIV - Balm of Gilead flower (cure)
 XV - Crown Imperial (majesty)

The text in the ornaments is extracted from a comment from Jacob Dahl on You Tube. Thank you very much for that deep and wonderful comment!

So I took the time to put all the pieces and adding even some ornaments in one picture. And holy Schnitzel! That was really tiring sometimes but it was fun to do.

Many thanks for following my progress dear fellows and enjoy this little piece I created

Ich hab's gewusst. Ich hätte nicht so viele Blautöne für Noctis Glasbild nehmen sollen D:
Danke, danke! Ich hab' mir die Zeit genommen für jeden eine gute Referenz zu geben ^^

WOW!! This is absolutely gorgeous. It must have taken ages to put it all together and I really admire your dedication to make it happen; putting something like this together is definitely a commitment. I love the different flower motifs and how they are all unique in their own way. I am really glad this style worked out for you and you were able to make something this magnificent. I love that you broke the fourth wall a bit and had the props sticking outside of their windows. Maybe I'm biased but I think Cecil's panel is my favorite. Also really liking Noctis and the guy at the bottom (Sorry I don't know his name) maybe I just like blue haha. Amazing work!!!

The guy on the bottom? Ah you mean the nameless Warrior of Light. No worries that you didn't know. He doesn't have a real name. Cecil is my favourite, too! :'D

If I may be honest. I took about 2 months for making all of the small pieces
Ah yes, I think if they stick outside of their windows it looks a bit more lively. A nice feature I think 

Man, I'm so glad that you like this little tribute so much and everything else. Many thanks as well. Be awesome as always! ^^

Awesome, I agree w/ Rhapz here. Although, I don't get how every warrior starts w/ a Crsytal; like Firion, Cloud, Squall, Vaan. Lightning, nor the ones from XIV and XV. Although I can see w/ Tidus if we count the Spheres.

Here on this link I guess you'll find your answers.
Indeed, some are not directly tied to the crystals but still referenced from or having another name or being a key item. Such like in VII they have their Materia which is a crystalline form of energy.
And as I played through FF XV the message is hidden. It's like in the legend of III. The crystal chose him as the true king right in the beginning. But in Noctis' story this will be revealed later
