Its story is completely unrelated, and according to Matsuno, it isn't set in Ivalice's world, despite having a plethora of references.
Btw i think this game deserve the label of underrated lots of people forget It exists.
It kind of deserves it.
A forgettable attempt at an RTS with systems and units that let you completely trivialize any sort of challenge that might've been present.
There are dozens of us.
While I prefer FFT story,I prefer FFTA gameplay. Also loves the focus on smaller sidetories/subplot happening throughout the world.
I will take any followup to FFT at this point. Prequel, sequel, whatever.
Hell, give me a musical adaptation, I don't care

Ramza's dad was a powerful knight? I never knew that. Finished FFT at least three times too.
Barbaneth (Balbanes) was the leader of the Order of the Northern Sky during the Fifty Years' War and one of the most decorated knights of Ivalice.
Ramza's father has the same title as Orlandu, so he was probably on par with Thunder God Cid at swordplay.
"In the outbreak of the Fifty Years' War Barbaneth carried the Beoulve name with honor, fighting gallantly and serving the royal family. He proved himself a fierce warrior, leading the Order of the Northern Sky within the ranks of the Ivalician army against Ordalia. He secured victories where others had perished and his ferocity struck fear in the Ordalian army. After the war, he attained the title "Knight Gallant" for services rendered in the line of duty."
Shame Ramza's dad had a son like Dycedarg.
I never fully grasped what a garbage human being he was until I played the game again when I was older
Edit: There's Dycedarg fanart. I guess everyone has their fans...

Shit. Guess I have ass taste. I rather enjoyed Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Though I was young.
Not quite. It was absorbed into the world of Ivalice, but the game was originally designed to be in a different world.
Make it about Dycerdarg's elder brother /s
I think the fifty year war would be miserable for a strategy game because you'd need to insert massive timeskips which would make your army / party make no sense. Or you would lose them or do the annoying child character mechanic that a couple of games have tried.
Ramza's story skips forwards and backwards a bit but its only over the span of a few years.
If you skip forward in time for FFT2 you have the possible consequences of the world at peace / the remaining and surviving lucavi stones, and if you skip backwards to 50yr you have all the Lucavi back wrecking house.
Maybe a game set right quick after the first with some of the wronged people like a child of Death Corp members and the immediate threat of the organization using the Lucavi stones being gone but Ramza not doing a fully clean job clearing them up.

this art is god tier, really captures Dycedarg I think. It's also great how the outfit really fits him in a realistic way
Sound really boring lol
Need more Lucavi shenanigans.
You can't have Game of Thrones without zombies and chocobos.
Man, FF Tactics' story was freaking incredible. I'd kill for a proper sequel with most of the original devs.
The 94 years thing is fan fiction created for a role playing community.
No.
Ovelia stabs him and he kills her in retaliation, but he survives and has a prosperous reign.
Yes they are. Although the main events of Tactics Advance are in a dream world created by Mewt, so they're mostly inconsequential. Tactics A2's main segment is set in the XII era (the characters travel back in time rather than to a fantasy world) and takes place after Revenant Wings. Montblanc sometimes calls out to Marche upon death, implying that the fantasy world of FFTA also had some sort of impression on the actual people of the past it was based on.
Ivalice is not the whole setting in FFXII. It is a region referring to the lands that were part of the Galtean Alliance. Yes, the whole game takes place there, but so does Tactics take place in its Kingdom. It should also be noted that Valendia and Ordallia are continents in FFXII and both are Kingdoms in Vagrant Story and FFT respectively. It's not exactly unusual for a new kingdom to name itself after the region.
What ever they do... for the love of god DO NOT bring back the law system.
Holy hell that was stupid.

I definitely see where you're coming from, but Suikoden V was done without its original director and it turned out fantastic, even if you could tell
I completely forgot about that, thanks for the correction
While this could be awesome, at this point, I don't care when/where it takes place, as long as it is: well done, given the AAA treatment, and comes out in my lifetime.
at the time, final fantasy tactics was a more difficult and involved spin on the battle mechanics of the mainstream numbered FFs of the day. while the word "tactics" is now synonymous with isometric, turn-based FFT/tactics ogre style battles, i think if they ever did make a "final fantasy tactics 2" it would be cooler for them to try to imagine what the contemporary equivalent would be. reinvent the series as a place to experiment with deeper plots, more mature subject matter, and greater difficulty levels than the mainstream numbered FFs.
so basically dark souls but with a map-based stage/mission select and a job system

No, he wasn't. He brought a golden age to Ivalice.
Anyway Matsuno already said this is what FFT2 would be about.
Dycedarg has a really nice haircut.Shame Ramza's dad had a son like Dycedarg.

I wouldn't want another direct sequel or prequel, honestly. The world and cast wasn't strong enough for me to long for it to be expanded. I'd probably get a whole lot more out of a new region with new characters in their own story. I also like the Law system from the Advance games, and would want to see it refined further.
Wow people sure hate the FFTA games here. Sounds like it's because the story in those games weren't as engaging as that of the PS1 game? I never had a PS1 but had a GBA and FFTA was my first FF game. It alongside Fire Emblem and Advance Wars got me into Turn Based Strategy games and honestly I was hooked with FFTA's gameplay. People are gonna be upset with what I'm saying, but I never owned a PS1 nor have I played many FF games. Sorry.
Why does have to be a prequel...? -_-
I want to see older Ramza, maybe Alma the protagonist this time.

Well because the creator himself said that's the route he would go. Also theres no real conflict in Ivalice after the conclusion to the story.
Damn the new translation hurt to read compared to the original translations, even though the original translations was poor.

Pretty much. I tried to like Advance but just couldn't, would love to see FFT2 or prequel. I considered Jeane d'Arc to be the spiritual sequel and gave up hoping for a true sequel/prequel.
I hate arguth with passion
Well yeah, you're supposed to hate him. Delita turns out to be just as bad of course
The hate is mostly for the second one tbf, and not just for the story, I think it's mechanically a pretty poor strategy game as well
Wait, the other games are better than FFTA2? I've only played that one and it's one of my all-time favourite DS games. Would you guys recommend me seeking out the other FFT games?
Thats fair. I hated the way handled the judge system in the second game. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever finished it.
