During one of the Warring Triad quests, Unukalhai mentions that his master is from a world where people used auracite to fight demons and eventually became demons themselves, which is literally the backstory of FF Tactics.

I thought it was just a reference until now, holy poo poo.

Makes sense.

Also I was not expecting the next Primal to be FF3/VI's Goddess. Looks like they might totally do all of them at some point :aaaaa:

But...Goddess is already in the game? Lakshmi =/= Sophia.

I'd be so happy if this happens. Especially if it's the med armor (like DRG) int-based Draw Out using DPS class I'm hoping for.

The producer, Yasumi Matsuno, is literally the creator of Final Fantasy Tactics and the Ogre games that preceded it. FF12 is an offshot of FFT, and he's responsible for almost all of it.

Matsuno mentioned that since XIV is basically a theme park of FF, Return to Ivalice will be the part for FF12 and Tactics.

Actually that's good because it means there might just be more than boring rear end humans doing dumb poo poo to each other instead of cool races.

Hm. So there's a chance it'll even out then. I accept that.

There is no way the plot of Tactics can be described as "dumb poo poo" and 12's plot cannot. The party also includes its fair share of boring rear end humans. The possibility of seeing a bunnywoman does nothing for me. Shame.

Do you mean an actual city, or just how Ul'Dah's basically Rabanastre? I like Ul'Dah's soundtrack and all, but it ain't nothing compared to Rabanastre Lowtown.

According to the lore book, it's a city in Othard, near Doma.

One specific moment that got me into FFXIV was when my beta character accidentally (thru random gear upgrades) looked straight out of XII.
