    Default Since Tactics take place in the same timeline as XII....

    ....one can argue that Tactics is a sequel to XII and Revenant Wings storywise, yes? What do you guys think?

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    That is the official timeline, though not all of us approve...

    Oh cool, never knew it was official. Didn't know FFX and X-2 was officially linked to the same story as VII either though.

    Actually, according to the Ultimania's all of the Ivalice titles are connected somehow, though they fail to explain exactly how. Even Vagrant Story and the TA series. How TA1 can possibly be connected to the rest is up to debate and most of the team won't comment on it but TA2 certainly made a clustersmurf for the whole series by connecting TA1 to XII and FFT.

    I remember picking up an item in Vagrant Story that 'was rumored to belong to Agrias of the Zodiac Brave Story'.

    Oooh so the lost technology in FFT is the technology from FF12's timeline?
    The zodiac stones must have shrank too.

    Yes, I thought it was a well known fact that Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story are the last spots in the Ivalice timeline. In Ivalice, it appears that the future is much less vibrant than the past...

    I thought Tactics Advanced was the one linked to XII?

    Final Fantasy Tactics Advance takes place in a fantastic version of Ivalice. There is a timeline where every title that takes place in Ivalice is linked to the other games; for example, I previously mentioned that Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story take place near the end of the timeline and give us a glimpse at the future of Ivalice.

    Technically the other titles give us a glimpse of the past of Ivalice, as FFT and VS greatly pre-date them

    I know that tactics and XII have very little in common. I looked to see if the world was the same but its not. Even the towns are different. Nothing about the story ties them together. I guess its the other games that do this? If so how?

    Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII share the same world; however, you are right that the two do not share any geographic locations as they take place in different parts of that world. The Ivalice Alliance and its titles mostly only share some mythology and geography aside from small references.

    Don't forget the Lucavi are in both titles, though in a much more muted role in XII. The backstory is still pitch on though.

    Vagrant Story also connects both cause Vagrant Story takes place in the Valendian area of Ivalice which is also where Archades is said to be located in XII. Vagrant Story also has a reference to Agrias Oaks as well as a mention of Delita as well in the descriptions of accessories.

    I never finished Vagrant Story, unfortunately. You never leave Leá Monde, correct? You never get to actually explore or see the region that Vagrant Story takes place in.
