The 2006 role-playing video game "Final Fantasy XII" contains several references to "Vagrant Story". Terms such as Riskbreaker, Leámonde and Kildea (albeit with different spellings in the localizations), are commonly used in both games. According to an interview with Joypad, a French gaming magazine, in 2004, Yasumi Matsuno claimed during its development that Ivalice, the game world he created when he joined Square in 1995, is a complex world with a very long history and the stories of "Vagrant Story", "Final Fantasy Tactics", and "Final Fantasy XII" are said to unfold quite close on the Ivalice map. The original plan, however, was not to place "Vagrant Story" in the Ivalice universe. Matsuno stated in 2011 via his Twitter account that the plot elements of "Final Fantasy Tactics" found in "Vagrant Story" were meant to be intertextual reference to the Ivalice title as a form of "fan service". "" referenced the game further in 2017 through the "Return to Ivalice" raid series, most notably by including an alternate version of the city of Valnain and Leá Monde as existing locations in its own world.
