Eurogamer praised the "beautiful architecture and interaction of the various races" in "Final Fantasy XII" and noted that there was a "melancholy feeling" to "wandering the barren wastes" of Ivalice. In their review of "Final Fantasy Tactics", IGN called the battle areas "extremely well designed and detailed to perfection", singling out the churches as especially beautiful. GameSpot was similarly impressed with the wide varieties of "beautiful" terrains to be seen in Ivalice, from swamps to castles to "anything else you can think of". PSXExtreme praised the feel of Lea Monde in "Vagrant Story", calling it "excellently lit" in a style that brought out the "dark and moody" feeling of the game. They went on to say that the game's "great visual presentation will go down in the books as one of the best looking games".
