I can think of a few meanings for the crystal, but I was wondering if there is
anything "official" stated or if it was related to an actual crystal in the
series?

Or maybe its just that someone on the Naruto production team likes Final
Fantasy.

naruto
What does the crystal represent in the new Naruto Op (ep 432)


After watching the opening, here's my version :

> It's all about the collective hopes and dreams people have for one another
> and themselves. All of the dead characters passed down the circular stone
> that represented the hopes they had for Naruto, who embodied the future.
> Naruto struggled to achieve the goal by struggling no matter how tired he
> was. Or this crystal can also be the past, that's why Sasuke would want to
> destroy it (but later, he accepts it).

The crystals represent bonds. They're not tied to one person. They're all
bonds passed down from different people to different people. Naruto has been
looking for BONDS all his life. Sasuke wanted it as a child, but after his
brother's betrayal he seeked to sever those BONDS, Madara used to want what's
best for the world, reaching for it and still believing what he did was for
the greater good, only to realize he's been used by Kaguya from the moment his
little brother died, hence her grabbing his bonds and severing it.

I think the stone symbolizes hope and peace for the shinobi world. Naruto
embodies the crystal, which is why he saves everyone from tragedy and
darkness. He has the power to change people for the better, and that is why it
is passed down from generation to generation so everyone can have the hope to
create peace in their hearts.
