Can’t wait to see people’s contrived split-timeline theories. But Vagrant Story contains items which are relics of Tactics’ characters, including Agrias, Beowulf and Orlandu. But FFXII features extensive notes on wildlife by a woman named Merlose - who is in Vagrant Story as an observer, meaning it takes place after Vagrant Story. And Moogles are in FFXII, meaning it has to come before Tactics. But the continuity is pretty much impossible, since FFT refers to Moogles as extinct. Because that would be just silly.īesides, someone once posted this image in the late, lamented Talking Time forums, demonstrating that all of the Ivalice games actually do fit together, at least in a jigsaw puzzle sense of the phrase. Sure, I wrote a dissection of the overarching Mega Man storyline, which does throw my mental competence into question, but all of those story details are right there in the open it’s not like I was trying to prove that there’s an incredibly convoluted continuity that encompasses every Zelda game or anything. Granted, anything that frustrates people who take games a little too seriously is fine by me. Does such a thing even exist? I see all these weird, loosely stated connections between the three games, but mostly they serve to thwart any and all efforts to create a consistent timeline. And Vagrant Story is halted a mere two hours in, since I just started up a new game a few days ago in order to test out the new PS3 firmware update’s backward compatibility enhancements for HD. FFXII is still stalled just after Archadia, since I was forced to give it up back when I was using all my free time for Bonus Stage and haven’t had time to jump back in. This means I currently have all three Matsunoverse games in a state of suspended play: War of the Lions is frozen at the beginning of Chapter Four. I’ve been forced to set aside my playthrough of FF Tactics in order to review… Final Fantasy II Anniversary.
